2016-12-29 Tanji - Because We Can

Every year wild man Dean Tanji hosts a RTE at the Far West Tavern now located in Orcutt, CA. Sounds good to me n' KrZy8 so off we go.

Bikes in the parking lot.


Liked this rider's bags..


Is that paint or some kind of wrap? Pretty coolio.


Bikes out front.


A Doofus in every crowd..


The gang. 29 I heard Dean say. And on the back table, under the cow head... back to you, hat on.. Recognize him?


I sat at this table of 3. Fun guys. Ojai and Santa Maria. Good tales. Instant friends.


And look who is walking by, ready to head south again? Its freaking SUPER TURBO DAVE! I can't begin to say how happy I am to see Dave again. Look at my stupid grin and happy face.


Turbo waxing eloquent about the first time we met, in Avila Beach, CA, 10 years ago, 2006.


Turbo is down to 134 pounds now, his voice is softer, but those eyes still have fire. What a guy. My hero.


Some of the late leavers. Lisa Landry is HOT!


So good to see TurboDave again. I got to head south and spend time with Dave.

Where the hell is HAL RISSER?

The end.

Nice job DC, I met turbo at WFO around 05, bumped into him again the next year in Death Valley plus a few times since. Good guy.

Two awesome sightings - Landry and Dave!

I had exited the area early, had I known Lisa would be in attendance, I might have changed my plans... darn!

 

[Bluestreek]

Dave and I have logged a lot of miles together from Mexico to Canada and bunch in between.

That's ok, Don. From the looks of it, you are up a few pounds so it probably evens out.

Glad to see Turbo is still riding. I want to be able to ride into my 80s too.

I met Turbo Dave about 10 years ago in Borrego Springs and recognized him as the celebrity he is. I saw him a month ago at Pinks and he instantly reminisced about our meeting as well. It has been great to ride and rally with Dave many times over the years.

Keep on truckin, Turbo Dave!

That looks like the gathering at Park City. I had breakfast with Turbo and Andrew there. They were telling B52 stories.
