Saturday was a weird weather day, but decent turnout for the second Open House for Desert Valley Powersports. Can you spot the '08 in the picture? (hint: the rear bag is by a coffee cup)

That and I figured out how to use my camera and get a few decent pictures. Justin Homan and his riders are just phenomenal!

This is just a lucky shot

This one you just have to trust me is the first part of a back flip

Fully tweaked it looks like the bike is going to go land sideways...

They wait until the last fraction of a second to get back on the bike...

After the hail storm things dried up a bit for the final act.

Not a gnarly jump, but a full day of weather

Geeze,

has that been a year already? Last year was a great time, looks like those guys are still growing strong and Justin and his possee appear to be more amazing than ever. Thanks for sharing the fun!!!

 
Looks like a much better turn-out than their open house last November (and a lot more bikes on the floor from the looks of it too). They definitely have a nice shop!

Looking through your ride pics, I almost choked on my coffee when I came to the picture of your bike parked at the Fairfield Inn in Bend. I parked in exactly the same spot on my last trip down there last fall! (2 big HD Electra Glides were parked just to the right - in between the door and the post. My FJR looked "lithe" by comparison.) I suppose now we're going to have to put a sign on that spot that says "FJR Parking Only"!

Nice ride report by the way..!

funny.Ya that place has become my place to stay when in bend as of late. Close enough to downtown to walk, and easy access. Seems Bend often is in the mix when traveling north.

Those Prosser guys at Desert Valley Power Sports sure know how to shake the fun stick, and those guys doing the jumps are amazing .....as are the pics.

 
Ya know, when I see shots like that, it makes me want to grab my Sam Splint and start first aid .....

Excellent shots, Iggy !!

Oh yeah - I found the 08.

 
Iggy, myself and Mr. Lisa Stevens were at DVP all day, helping out Dan were we could, and staying out of the way when we couldn't. I even managed to sell a new FZ6, and helped close the deal on a GSXR-600! :D

I'll tells ya what, those freestyle jumpers are something else..... not me, man, no way, no how! :blink:

So sayeth the Iron Butt record-setting, LDComfort spokesmodel. ;) (BTW: what kind of endorsement deals do you have your agent working on for you anyway..? Underwear? Come on, man! Tiger got his own Gatorade. Gatorade Warchild just sounds so much more badass!!) :p

And we thought we had you convinced to try your Busa. We even agreed you'd get one jump and the airbag would have taken most of the energy from the cras....I mean landing....assuming you got the mass of metal that far. ;)
