    A meet up an ride for awesome photos or just a idea you can use to make a great day.

    I live in Santa Rosa Ca., Klamath is several hours north, 280 miles but is dead on the center line for the May 20th Annular Eclipse. Last time this happened around here was 1984 and I saw it from my first grade school window. It lasts 2 hrs an 22 minutes. I will ride home immediately afterwards with a great time lapse video and some good pics of my clean red bike, the "Ring of Fire" and the Ocean in the background. If you are interested in getting one of those photos you will need to be on the center line (the beach part is a little more tricky if you live in say Utah or New Mexico). I encourage you to message me if you would like to meet up on the trail, or Google it to figure you own path to the sweet spot. This is rare for western US, take full advantage.

    Thought this posting was about those Wing riders that deck their bikes out with those crappy lights.

    The ones that go around the front nacelle (plastic chrome) that covers the front disks are called "ring-of-fire" what crap! talk about impractical, anywhoOOO.

    Photo....do i really need to say it ?

    Thanks for the tip, some folks may not know, most any camera type store, or if you really in a bind some welding lenses will change the color a little but it can be corrected later and is not a good enough reason to miss this opportunity anyways. Personally, even just a Iphone photo no special anythings will be good enough to be smilen about for many many years, but you have to be at the right place at the right time.
