Bill Dragoo represents US in BMW's South Africa GS Trophy

All, I received this email from our friend, Bill Dragoo. For those of you who don't know, Bill is a journalist and photographer writing for motorcycle magazines. He also happens to be one of the best riders in the world. Several of us had the honor of riding with Bill in a 3 day Arkansas off-road adventure.
Bill puts together some fantastic slide shows, and here is another great one. The quoted email below explains what the slideshow is about.

God graced me with two second place finishes in the Adventure Rider's Challenge earlier this month. My training will begin immediately for this challenging competition against some 11 countries. As the oldest member of the team by nearly double, I have my work cut out for me big time. The slide show depicts not only my ride out to LA with James Pratt, but our anniversary day at Cambria on the Pacific Coast, several dual sport rides through Northern California and my solo ride home over obscure mountain passes and through sacred indian lands where time seems to have been frozen more than 100 years ago. Enjoy the show and please take a few extra minutes to check out the associated links.

This is a brief video of our run through the pit with Valerie...our damsel in distress.

The catch is I had the gps and he had to follow me.
