why would you of all of us want to go back to the dragon lol, i didn't see your headlights till we got stopped by the bikes and various cars in front of us

and next time we go down the dragon i'd perfer ecotec have *cough* insurance *cough* i'd feel alot safer with him riding my ass if i knew he had it lol... or he can follow you down LOL

but ya i think a all day dragon run would be cool up and down up and down, nah actually i'd be bored after 2 or 3 passes lol... i could sit a turn and take pictures though.

you said you didn't have insurance you didn't say your grandparents pay it... makes me feel a bit safer... and you should probably explain why you don't want jordan to come in a pm to blackss cause if he knew then maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal... or if you want i'll pm him and tell him.

Anyway, some borrowed photos in lieu of hosting from my server:

wow if he paid attention nothing would have happened basically from what i see he drifted off the road and just went down the hill kinda stupid way to crash at least he is ok that is all that matters.

nah man I dont have any questions. Mainly because it doesn't concern me. I personally think the whole situation is slightly immature, so i'm not too concerned about it from either aspect. Sorry if that offends you, but it just seems to me like it's something that's in the past and is very childish so it could be looked over. Anyway, as far as the killboy shots, I thought they were a little better than the ones from US129phots.com. However, neither site showed quite what I was looking for.

well, i'm pretty sure that you're not gonna drive the dragon and not be paying attention. If you weren't paying attention you wouldnt make it past the first curve. Yes it's good that he's ok, and yes that's all that matters. I'm sure gatekeeper didnt' post the pics for everyone to sit around and make assumptions and accusations toward the driver.
