The pictures were a great representation of the "Blackdog 2007". Thank you Tom, & Dan for your outstanding support to all of us d.s. riders. Without people like you we would not have a place to ride..... Sharon and I really feel badly for the riders that were injured this year. Please convey our best to them and their families.... NEVER FEAR CAPTAIN "JIMBO" WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR.......AND ...... DON'T FORGET YOUR "POOPER" SCOOPER

Captain "JIMBO" and sidekick "Sharon" (pooper patrol)

Nice logging and I can't believe how much of a thrashing that camera takes, but what a great angle! And keep an eye on Spot's little head that bobs in and out of the sidecar.

Thanks for a great time Tawm! If you can, try to join us in Death Valley next January!

Howdy DaveO,

That is a fantastic photo, could you stop over to my ride report on Adv-Rider, and add that photo and some of your stories to my report, thanks.

Very cool stuff Mr. Cob! Every once in awhile I could see Spot the Wonderdog peeking his head out on the right side of the sidecar. One time it looked like he was pissed because you weren't moving. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Howdy Gary,

Thanks for checkin out my ride report. Spot, loves to ride, sometimes I worry that in his effort to see where we are going he will fall out. I have a leash attached to his harness but in a bad situation he could still possibly bounce out of the sidecar and then be hanging from the leash. I need to make some kind of clear but very well vented canopy for the hack, that way he can see what's going on and still be protected. If I don't take him with me, he pouts, seriously, when I come after leaving him when I ride he looks at me and then turns his back and looks the other way, he will do this for a bout an hour before he will again be my buddy. Darn dog, he's more spoiled then most kids.

Here is one I shot with the helmet cam just out of Mill A on Sundays route. Just listen to the tree branches smackin my helmet!

I am editing this one down a little to put up on YouTube and I have the next section through "Berm Alley" recorded but I haven't edited it yet. Doing video with my computer takes FOREVER!

[Tawmass]

Now that was funny, dropping the f-bomb at the end! Looked like you were going through a car wash! Jay and Amy were funny too!

That last branch just about pretty damn near lifted me of the bike by my helmet!
