Hiccup number one here!  A low speed low side on sandy stuff not 5 miles from the start cheeky]

All I can say is thank dog for frame sliders, the damage was limited to some delrin, a Rizoma bar end, some scuffed leather, and what was left of my pride.  I took several photos of people and bikes and will post those later.  The second hiccup (did anyone get the young man's name?  By the way, he's an Airman in the AF just back from the Stan) got stung a bit worse than I did...a raw spot on his knee and blown out jeans, a dent in his tank, and an expensive rear-set half...but fortunately able to ride home.  We rode back together as far as his exit in Encino.  Big thanks to the riders in the group that assisted both of us today.

Still, it was a pleasure to meet those I chatted with and check out all of the bikes.  Y'all have a great weekend!

And now: "Signore Bombacelli!  My medication please!"

Oh yeah, DucofWestwood, does your buddy on the Triumph know he doesn't have a tail light? It lights up when he brakes but he's got no running light.

There was another guy with black gear and a red helmet with a black stripe down the middle that seemed to have a tail light that was stuck in brake mode.

Ah, good to match a face to a SN. So was that mounted on your arm then?

.. I think it was handheld... at least when i passed him he was holding a camera..

Another rider had a camera set-up mounted under his headlight.

It was great meeting up and riding with everyone.   [moto]

So unfortunate about the mishaps but luckily everyone was able to ride away.

And, SDR_John you are one talented guy to be riding that big Kawi and filming one handed.   I would probably ride off the rode if I attempted that.

Looking forward to the next ride.  [thumbsup]
