Heading to the dragon

In austin you have all those crazy UT drivers to deal with. My family is from the hill country near SA and I love going for drives out there.

Creek Road @ Dripping Springs from 290 to FM 165 is a fun drive -- about 10 miles or so of dips and tight turns. We've been a little wet this year for me to go up there -- too many water crossings when there's been a bunch of rain

We guys made it back and had a blast! I don't know which was more fun the Dragon or driving a fully deserted recently paved Foothills parkway at full throttle. Either way a great time was had and my wife even tamed the Dragon too. Great having a wife who knows how to hit a corner hard! I am hooping the photographers placed along got some pics too. Only negative came at the end of the run where I was pulled over for get this ..... 46Mph! I was doing almost twice that a few seconds earlier. Fortunately I was let off with a warning instead of a $175.00 fine. Aside from the police pressence it was a great time and highly recommended for any car guys and gals to do at least once in their lives (aka the bucket list). And definately take a bike or sports car not the loads of family mini vans ans suvs littering the road. will post pics soon!

Look like you got lucky with that warning!

I know from last year there's an black undercover SUV driving around there with TN tags. We watched him pull over a bike for improper passing. Watch out for that guy!

That was the guy! I was looking out for the marked patrol car and totaly missed him. I thought he was a photographer or sight seeing. Photos are on us129photos.com , killboy.com , and zeefoto.com under july 17th. I'm deciding which ones to purchase and what size too. Moonshinephotocom got the back side of the Z I guess I was going a little too briskly for him to get a head on shot.
