    Busy Weekend

    My Cousin and his boy, and my boy and I are going to the SuperCross races @ Seahawk Stadium In Seattle tomorrow. That outta be a blast! Sunday My Buddy Ed, his wife, the guy that ended up with my R1, his buddy, SWMBO and myself are headed out for a long day trip up the Columbia River Gorge. I'll post pics when we get back in the ride report area. Show you flat-landers what a hill looks like!

            Sounds like a good time. Make sure you get pictures!

            A handful of guys I grew up with travel around and setup the race track. Then they stand out on the track and help with the wrecks. He calls the holeshot and then covers the wrecks on the whoops. Here's my buddy hard at work... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkbHu...e_gdata_player

            And here too...

                  Hey dragon, sounds like fun. I really like "old man", he has a strange paint job. It is sort of like the 70's "street freak" paint jobs, i would never change it if it were mine. Have fun!

                    Well it was painted in 1980... back then I think they thought we would be living on space ships by now... Here's a closer look @ the air brushing. A buddy of my Dad's painted it for him. They gold flaked the burgundy too... total 70's and 80's. and it will never change. I don't feel like being struck by lightning
