Got back on Tuesday so I've only had a few minutes to sift through my shots. I haven't done any photography in months so this was a good excuse to drag the gear out to Tooele, Utah. The facility is amazing and the whole weekend was a blast, I can't wait to go back next year.



Spies was unstoppable:

something a little different, look at the nose dive under full braking:

Haga had a rough weekend

Fabrizzio looked strong

poor Xaus, the Beemer looks mean but it needs some sorting out

And regardless of your opinion of Biaggi, how can you not love the RSV4?

Wow, those are AMAZING shots. Any chance you'd be willing to share full size (or at least larger size) shots for use strictly as a desktop background?

YOU SUCK!!!

jk:mrgreen: Great pics! I was setting at home last weekend watching that race thinking that is a great looking layout between those two mountain ranges and looked like there could have been a storm blown in over the top of some of those peaks at any time.

And yes Spies was running his own race. Glad you had a great weekend, thanks for posting the pics.:thumb:

I really love Haga's bike but i might be biased based on what I rode to work today :giveup:

Nice shots! I'm jealous as ****, I would love to have been there. All those bikes look incredible, even the one that Max is making look as ugly as he can. :D

It's amazing what you can get away with if you don't have credentials but you act like you know what you are doing.

There was no one at Pit Out so we went for a cruise, ended up doing 3 laps

(my buddy shot this one with the camera I left at the RV as I zipped by)

The road turned to gravel, dual sport scootering?

Kirk found a shortcut

Trip of a lifetime, I highly recommend you all go next year.

Best thread in months.

It was rated at "pretty great" but moved into the "totally awesome" category with the offroad scooters. I'm jealous of a vespa for the first time in my entire life. Gravel road? pffffttt! Anyone can do it on a GS, have you tried the vespa?
