My Rock Store Photos shot

Yakaru · March 25th, 2014, 02:56 PM

Since I'm about to head up to Washington for a while I've been trying to enjoy as many SoCal bike roads as I can right now, including the infamous Snake on Mulholland. This was the best shot of me they got, guess why I'm sad :P

Nice, liking the suit.

Woot! At the "rock store".

Cool pic!

I liked that one but I thought the shot I posted was better (sans pedestrian).

The third one is my favorite, but I also think most of them would have looked better from the other side of the road. I don't know if you prefer having your bag in the picture or not but I think it draws the eye away from what should be the focus of rider/bike/road.

On an unrelated note, I was scanning through some of the other pictures and found this...scary:

jeffb502 · March 31st, 2014, 10:38 PM

Having said that about the bag though, I think this one is better than any of the ones quoted in the post above:

Yakaru · March 31st, 2014, 10:43 PM

Yeah, my purse is where I keep my license and other essentials -- unless I want to grab my tank bag (or my insanely sized tail bag) then it's basically a must bring. I may try and grab a tailbag like Newb's, it's a great size and since it's on the tail won't be in the way and could store my things in that while riding.

Aggrotech · March 31st, 2014, 11:04 PM

buy a print of ur hair all breezy in the wind.

das hot yo!

haha, most of the hair you see flying around is what escaped my braid/ponytail (depending on the day) :P It becomes an absolute bear to comb when I finish if too much gets loose.

Yakaru · April 1st, 2014, 11:14 PM

And here are the last three from the Rock Store on Sunday. Have to say, I think these are the most disappointing of all the sets:

You seem to be awfully hard on yourself, I think the pics look great.

nickjpass · April 2nd, 2014, 05:51 AM

They're better than my rock store photos...oh wait - ive never ridden in California...

@EternalNewb and I were having a 'bad rider off' via text yesterday :P

EternalNewb · April 2nd, 2014, 08:49 AM

A little, yeah. It almost bled into the Griffith Park thread, but I stopped myself.

I think you're being hyper-critical of your own riding abilities, and over-thinking things. A lot of the rock store photos look cool.

250rr · April 2nd, 2014, 10:48 AM

Is the flower on your passenger seat embroidered? I like it!

Yakaru · April 20th, 2014, 11:26 AM

Flower is embroidered yes.

Also, here are the shots I purchased:
