Welcome Lonemeat, it is great to have an actual rider here.
Yes, some of us are big fans of this event, but most here fully understand that one has to 'allow a certain amount of personal space and politeness' if you want to capture things. Modern cameras seem to reveal a lot more nowadays too, but that, I guess' is progress.
As a 4 time WNBR rider, I am fully aware of intrusive photographers; there was a group of girls in the UK this year who only allowed shots from photographers who stripped naked too. Not something that you could easily entertain in Fremont.
Is there a club or group of you that organise and paint up the riders? or is it a case of just turning up on the morning of the ride and asking to join? Although the other side of the world from here, I cannot help think that to ride at Fremont is 'one of the things you MUST do, before you die!"
