Marc, your riding with a real shady character. If you see a pile of gold nuggets on the ground just back away slowly and point to a Burro nearby. That will be enough to distract Don so you can get away safely. JS&NS

I might need your help...I think you should come down & show me the ropes.

Gramps, I wish I could be there. Have fun and I hope you don't miss that mild Minnesota winter you are having while catching rays in AZ.

I'd love to go mcy riding in the sunny southwest right about now.

Enjoy your riding down there Marc. And don't worry, we're keeping the homefront cold for you for your return.

Very VERY cold.

Tim on the left and Brian's incredibly beautiful 1964 BMW R60/2 on the right, this Classic Beemer always draws admirers!

Had an absolutely great ride this afternoon.
7 bikes. (3) K1600's, a Connie, F650, R-ST and a R60/2. So, how come the R60/2 was on point almost all ride?
Guess no one else is stupid enough to be the performance award sucker. No, it didn't happen. I think I could talk my way out of it, if I had to. "Really officer, this 50 year old bike was going that fast?"
I'm still really impressed with how well the R60 handles and how good it can run on 30 HP.

Yep that thing was moving good. I was a little surprised to be honest. Did a great job on the resto. Great ride today. Nice to meet some new faces. I got behind a group of HOGs on 60 and the guy at the back would rap those open pipes at every overpass. :-\ He couldn't hold a steady throttle either. Kept bumping the throttle every couple seconds. Geez, took the first chance I could to get around. Lots of Renn Fest traffic.

It was nice to see everyone on the ride today! I still don't like that kind of food, but it was more important to me to be with riding buddies. Great conversation, and fun to hang out.
Thanks, Don, for planning this ride!!

We AZ Beemers and Southwest FJR Forum Riders love the food at La Casita Cafe, you should have seen Jo S. dive into her bowl of spicy green chile!
