Barabus' New Hoopty

[Hudson]

Barabus swung by this weekend to show off his new ride to the PNW crew.

He was worried about the extra low end torque that 2 stroke thumpers are known for, so we installed a set of outriggers until he gets the hang of this. We also swapped the knobbies for a set of super moto tires. Now he can tag along for the next ride.

I think he secretly wanted our validation that this was a good move for him. Whadda ya all think?

He looks like a 6 year old on Christmas morning both happy and nervous.

Looks like there was some drinking going on before the picture. Not that Barry do anything like that.

Barry, I was concerned when you moved up to The Rain Forest and started residing around PNW Martians! Now, your Papa Chuy's worst fears have come to fruition!!

Steely-eyed Barabus, seeing the flag drop, launches over the starting gate at the Inaugural 50CC event. Barry wonders 'Do I really have to ride this Coast to Coast to get my 50CC plaque?'

[Fairlaner]

We should tell him that the 50cc does not have to be ridden on a 50cc bike. Naw he'll figure it out.

And then Barry would not share. At least Hudson offer rides on his Husky ...

I think I remember some very good Bourbon, and beer and Bourbon and......................... oh and pie!

 

[MCML]

I guess too much rain does things to one's brain. He used to be pretty sharp, too. Myabe he gets lower rates on the Washington State Ferry.

 

[Fairlaner]

Careful what you say guys Barry might open a can of whoop ass on you in July....

Took me back a few years to hoop on Dave's son's bike. I had the Honda Cub 50cc version in 1973. Can you believe they made training wheels for these things now? I know some FJR riders that could use training wheels.

Dave is a great dad and his sons will enjoy riding with him over the years.
