Title: Pics from Saturdays ride... sportbikes.ws
Post by: Dragonfly on December 20, 2004, 10:34:43 AM
The weather was beautiful!! right about 50 and completly clear!!!!
So A few of us sportbikes.ws guys decided it would be a good day for a ride.

My bike was odviesly the Yellow GS.

To much fun!! unfortionatly we had 2 get offs. I from an inexperienced rider trying to keep up. And then a crazy ass Panic stop get off (the R1 on the second page).
But all and all is was a perfect ride... So much fun keeping up with the liter bikes.

I do however need to upgrade my rear shock.
Its kinnda disconcerting to be leaned WAY over, and have the shock start bottoming out.... yippie. Good thing those BT45's stick well when warmed up!!!

I am looking into making a Gsxr-750 shock work...

Sweet pics!  Wasn't it a lovely day on Saturday?  :)  What was the route?

Sucks about the R1.  :(  But glad the rider was OK.

I rode on Saturday, too.  In training, you might say.

The ride was for the birds, though.

My first guess was Lake Washington Blvd.  but then I remembered all of those drunken nights in high school at Sandpoint.  Am I right?  Do I get a cookie?

Nope... out through the hills out of SE Portland- Mcminnville.
Up to Bald Peak state park....

BEAUTIFUL vista views... You could see the entire valley, down to portland-beverton-gresham.. all the way to mt. hood.
Its a shame I was traveling WAY to quickly in order truly enjoy the view.
But then again the view of just another 10-25 MPH corner is ahead!!! thats every bit as good.
