Are you the one who is wayyyyyy too close to the rider in front of you in the first picture?

 

[Thaloc]

Wish I could be there man, but the 7th is mah birthday and a 16 hour round trip to OR and back + the ride and my ass would jump off and hitchhike home.


@Octo: Dont turn this into a flame fest, Bro. That shot is from an elevated position and you have no idea how fast they were going.

 

[Bossanova]

^^..and why is he not getting your road rash lecture like most??

 

[theoctopus]

Because RJ is my buddy. He knows I think he's a silly squid.

Hey... that ride is right through my neck of the woods.

Thumpin1203 is an Oregonian too?

 

[onelogue]

Yup Thumpin1203 lives on the coast so he is riding in to go on this ride.

NwRider you should come too. Ride next to Tad (thumpin) and I.

 

[thumpin1203]

Yep.. I'm on the coast, warrenton to be exact. How about you NwRider?

 

[NwRider]

I am in Beaverton. Some good roads your direction Thumpin.

Yea.. I think I could make it. I had tentative plans to have my bike in pieces at my friends shop Saturday but that is kind of up in the air right now. I will find out for sure tonight and let you guys know.

We should meet up before hand and roll in together making some noise. Only 3 so far?

FYI, this is a memorial ride so people tie white bandana's around there belt loop. Bring one for yourself if you don't think it is too "gangster". Had a couple people last year curious to why everyone had white bandanas.
