Why I bought my Taco - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Besides being a great truck, here is the main reason I bought my Tacoma

What about you guys? Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic, it was 4:30am and I was half awake so I couldn't hold my phone still for it to auto-focus..haha.

Thanks it's my buddies CRF450R. I'm going to try to pick one up for myself in the next year or so.

Here's a few action pics of me on both bikes

Hrm, either I'm doing something wrong, or TN doesn't like photobucket. Anyways, just click the links for now, sorry about that.

The track that the motard is on is the Grange in Victorville way back in December, and the rr is at Streets of Willow in Rosamond yesterday.

Hey j3rmz, what kind of camera were those shots taken with? I'm in the market again now since the Taco's rear window isn't as secure as I would have liked

I really like the quality of those shots. Did you do any photoshop color enhancements (or should I say did your photographer)? Nice bikes too

digijohnson · 07-03-2007, 01:16 AM

Ha, I found the answer to one of my own questions by going to the website

Canon 5D...noted.

Yep. The pics from Orgussphoto are taken by my friend Jerry

. He takes AMAZING trackday photos, and great stills also. Contact him through his website if you have any camera questions.

The rearview pic of the Taco with the 2 bikes loaded is with my gf's Nikon D50.

Oh, that's interesting. The pic of the back of the truck actually caught my eye as having better color contrast than the other pics. I've always liked Nikon anyways. Thanks for the info!

No problem. I don't know much about cameras, but I do know that both the canon and nikon take pretty pictures.

Crazy f'in track. Seemed like EVERY turn was a hairpin, much narrower than Spring Mountain so passing is a little harder, the bowl is weird...as soon as you turn in, your knee is pinned between bike and pavement, and you can gas so hard coming out because it becomes unbanked halfway through the bowl so suddenly you're lean angle decreases on it's own. I can definitely see how much more fun it would be on a tard.

....it didn't help that it got up to almost 115 degrees and we were all in our leathers. =( Still a fun track though.
