It happened a year ago last May. Larryfixit, MVan, and myself were at Brad's in Austin for the last May '11 Boxerworks Forum Rally. The three of us, with Larry riding Brad's R90, took about a three hour ride in the hill country. I was leading down
a little back country road when a Google Street View car passed us. Course I had to wave a few times.

It seemed to have taken about a year for the images to show up on-line. Here's the full link....

Funny thing....I've surfed around the globe a bit on Google Earth Street View just looking for any Beemers/airheads. Had no idea that a small group of us would show up on this amazing web contraption.

I've always found that being immortalized for a short time is better than never being immortalized at all!

I saw one of those Google cars once. I covered up the girl friend that I didn't have with me.

Everything's on Google Earth street view!

So I went for some extra moto mileage on the way to work this morning, and as I hadn't been out this far on this road in quite some time, I did a Google Street View preview to see if it was still paved. It is, mostly. Scroll down to Street View at the house near the bend. I met those dogs this morning! Warning: They're all chasers, and the small one can get along quite well!

Beaut of a place/road/scenery, Melville. The dogs do look like runners/biters too.
