Parmer Kyle, GSXR Scott, Darren, and The Bash on the 2Day FOG Ride in 07

Just before I dragged head (how many of you can say that!) on the Baroness in a borrowed helmet, gloves and leathers for Spider Bobs fundraising track day. The head scraping incident lead to the purchase of a proper trackbike.

At Deckers right after Matt bought his 250 Ninja for the break in ride. Bash is on a hoon bike he built on an old Honda, GSXR Scott is on the 550 Kawai he bought from Matt and fixed and the baroness had a slipping clutch that regulaled to this "slow" group and only took me a year to fix.

The next day we rode to Bishop's. Arriving at Bash's, Mrs Bash exclaimed "Your wife must beout of town for you to ride 2 days in a row." She was.

Me, Mikey A and Mike B on our way to Westfest in Lakewood. Mike A loaned me his spare KLR and we rode all dirt there except for the last 5 miles. I was hooked on trail riding and the next month traded my car in on bike #4, an 07 DR 400

Ninja Chic's 636 in Fishing Lure livery with Bash and my short lived blue paint scheme for my track R6 on Chicane Track Days Labor Day extravaganza in 08. Yes, I am a redneck. Deal.

Mikey A, Bash, Pharmer Kyle and an unknown really good dude from Denver in Sept of 08 on Gold camp Rd.

2 weeks later to see the Aspens turn on my new to me DR400

After I got my DR, GSXR Scott would grab me most Saturday or Sunday mornings for a quick sprint up Capt Jack's. He taught me a lot.

Everyone said they were working the weekend of the Elephant ride. Maybe they're just smarter than I am...

Me, Mikey A, Kyle (a former CSC inmate) and Bash at the border from Sonora to Chihuahua on our way to Copper Canyon.

Got tired of getting dusted on the top end with Bimmer, so I got this (Bike #5) to keep up with Bash and GSXR Scott. It didn't help. But that ain't the bike's fault. This was at Red Rocks.

In front of Old Knee Draggers place in Pueblo after an epic, almost 1,500-mile ride from there to NM, along the infamous Devil's highway along the Arizona and New Mexico boarder, then back in a three day weekend.

I miss Colorado.

[Ninja2]

Be safe! Let us know if we can send ya anything from CO.

[justintyme73]

Cool pictures, thanks for serving this country!

[asp_125]

$2.97 for regular? That's going way back! LOL I bought that Duc from PharmerKyle and sold it later that year. Saw it again on CL a year or so ago.

[bornwildnfree]

Thank you! Come back safely. We'll keep a ride open for ya!

[Mental]

Yeah, and it was in a small town, so $2.07 seemed a bit high.

That Duc, I wanted it sooooo bad. He sent me a PM when it went up and unfortunetly it was too soon after our move and I couldn't afford it. It was a great deal and price.
So instead I spent the next three years collecting 5 other bikes.

You guys are very kind in your remarks, but compared to the guys deploying from Ft Carson, my life is pretty easy.

[Bashed]

Ah, all those memories.
Come back and we'll make some more.
Colorado misses you as well.
Peace
Bash
