    Tomorrow the Wing World Magazine photo shoot

    Cleaning the bike right now... because tomorrow I ride the Red Queen over to Whittier Narrows and the dam area there to meet up with a pro photographer and participate in a photo shoot for Wing World. Wow. Can you say excited? I hope the images will end up in an article. I'll do my bestest to reflect honorably on the F6B and the posse of owners who hang out here. Today the temperature is 84 degrees right now (5:20) and riding over there tomorrow will see the same high-for-this-time-of-year day. Wearing the mesh jacket!

    Safety gear is a must for this shoot, and he wants me to ride the bike by him (LEANING, which isn't a problem, but the Whittier Narrows Park might limit some lean. Dunno yet.

    He wants to shoot here:

    You get my vote. Looks as if Wing World wants F6B pixs as I had two in the January 2013 issue. Go Gal... Elin yours should be better, mine were Killboy.com photos at Deal's Gap. Good luck..

    Back home again...

    I WORE MY F6B SHIRT!!! The HOT PINK one!!!

    Well, I have "x's for i's" right now, after an exciting morning being the model (*not*) for the Red Queen shoot. I tried my darndest to keep out of his lens, but he was subversive and got me into some of the pictures. He said he'll send them to me this evening, so I'm looking forward to seeing them full size. They were AMAZING on his digital screen. He used fill lights and different angles to get some really good images.

    I just stood there and tried to look cute. Or like Betty Page. Maybe both. Whatever....

    Some excitement happened when a loose, riderless horse galloped up from the open space. Marco and I were taking a break when I heard hoofbeats on the cement below. Saw the horse, saw no bridle, so stepped down to intercept the mare on the ramp. She wanted to stop (it was in her body language) and she did, right in front of me. I made a makeshift halter out of her breast collar and talked her anxiety down. She was a good mare, and after a few minutes, she was happy to just stand there. The rider came up in a car (picked up on the road about a half mile away) and took her back. He lost his iPod, but no one got hurt. Keeping her out of traffic was my interest, since the ramp ended on a rather busy street, and that worked.

    And Marco took pictures! Of the horse.

    I'll share some (he said it was fine to share some from the shoot) when they come thru.
