Didn't see anyone there represeenting FJR's last night aside from the 300-400 or so in attendance

My wife and I went to dinner at the Monkey Bridge in Ballard and then rode through the flock of unruly bikers. Perfect evening for a ride.

 

[Niehart]

harper, that would have been me, the flock of unruly bikers. It was a good night and some awesome bikes but so many you have to dig through the crowd to find the good ones.

I think the craziest one was a stretched frame something with a Polaris water cooled snowmobile engine and clutch. The best was a Yamaha XS650 in a hand built frame, absolutely gorgeous.

I did see a couple of other Yamaha FJR's there.

Guess it's time for me to get my '65' Atlas cleaned up and running.

 

[Panman]

Dave's Atlas. You should bring your saddle home to! That and open up your check book.

 

[Niehart]

There were 3 really nice HD Panheads there Panman.

 

[Panman]

I could do another Panhead, it would have to be a 1951.

 

[Niehart]

Tonight 8/17.

 

[Niehart]

There were lots of clean older bikes but this isn't one of them.

When this event started many years ago, $500.00 was the limit you could have invested in your motorcycle. I think this fellow is living up to the original plan.

Backfire Moto tonight.

 

[harper]

I was at the corner of NW 85th and 15th NW at about 7:00PM holding my grandson and watching big trucks and big buses. What could be better than watching big trucks and big buses with a 2-1/2 year old. We saw about 30 bikes in several different groups over about 20 minutes or so pouring down 15th Ave to downtown Ballard. For each group Jack pointed and said, "Papa...motorcycle...vroom, vroom."

 

[Niehart]

I think Jacks a keeper. We had a good time and at least two of us were on FJR's.
