Jake Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Get 'em while they're hot! Go to Killboy.com and pick your day. Thumbing through the pages and pages for some shots of the Grape Ape (found 'em), I came across a photo of this youngin'. I passed him on the Foothills Parkway leading over to the Gap in a straight, thinking that'd be enough of him. Boy was I wrong. I hit some twisties and his lights were in my mirrors like a freight train. At a stop, he asked if I wanted to join him for a little ride in the Gap. One look at that worn out and faded 'Stich, I wisely said no, and that little bike didn't fool me. Judging from this pic on Killboy, it was one of my better decisions! Damned locals! Which way did he go?!?!.... Link to comment
russell_bynum Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Great shot! A guy in a very similar faded red 'stich on a fricken' F650GS with damn knobbies gave me fits out on Smoke Hole Road last summer at the Un. Link to comment
questrider Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 After three years of ownership, I finally have a few pictures of me riding my motorcycle! They're not great pics of me flicking it through a corner at maximum lean (as if I can do that anyway! ), but I'll take 'em! Actually, looking at this photo again, I look like putt-putt boy, barely breaking a sweat, out for a leisurely stroll on a Sunday afternoon. But as I said above, it's nice to finally have a pic of me riding. I always wondered if I looked silly or not. Now I know that I do! Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 If that's silly then I guess we all look silly..... but who gives a damn ! ?? Link to comment

steveknapp Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Steve, how is Drew doing? We had lunch last week. He's bruised, all sorts of colors but otherwise OK. His wife was glad to see him, as he typically downplays his injuries. "It's just a flesh wound!" The bike is still in Baker's hands. We'll get it soon. But he's thinking about joining me if we do Code. On their bike... Link to comment
