Default Ortega 74 Riders, Help a Brother out!!

Hello fellow Bikers, I go by SPIDER and I reside in the IE near Pomona. Most people know me from OC.

I'm reaching out because I will be taking photographs of you riders on Ortega 74 and offering you a 4" X 6" photo for a $5 donation.

I am struggling to maintain a failing "foreclosure trashout" business that I run, while also trying to take care of my mother, who is retired & on Social Security.

I AM NOT ASKING FOR HANDOUTS!! A couple years ago, I rode "The Tail of the Dragon" in Deals Gap, NC. There was a photographer on a curve that took pictures as I came around. I was able to get an action photo of me on my bike for a very fair price. His website is www.killboy.com.

One day, I hope to be doing this like he does, for now, this will help me make rent & Harley payment.

When you see me out there, please stop, say hello, and check out your photo.

I love being a biker. I love that we are there for each other when needed. You don't see much of that nowadays. I need your help.

SPIDER

Good luck with your new endeavor.

I don't ride the Ortega very often but when I do I'll keep an eye out for ya. At $5 a pop it's a pretty good deal.

The guy out by the Rock Store charges alot more than that.

Good luck Bro! I love riding the Ortega. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't. I'll be on the lookout for you though. I've heard of and seen pics from that dude on The Dragon.

Ortega is pretty long. Can you give us an idea of where you're going to be so we can wave or try to look cool as we ride by? It might make us more likely to bring that $5 back for you.

you need to charge at least $10. I suppose you'll be the guy on the side of the road with a camera?
Good luck with your endeavor.

I think I saw you today. I would have stopped on the way back, but we ended up taking a different route.

If you can still find my picture, I'll help you out and still buy it. Give me a PM (if you come back on here).

I rode the Ortega twice yesterday to Tom's and back. Didn't notice a photographer either direction.
