Default "Brisk" February ride with Rainman

Tried to post the 1st NW Forum Thread but snocompton beat me to it by 11 minutes....somebody BAN him!!!!

Met Rainman on a sunny Sat. to exercise the steeds. I must say it was a pleasure watching that Acid Green beauty getting spanked by capable hands!
Just a couple of shots of the days ride.

Here's Rainman in his driveway.


Stopping for coffee in Fall City...Some PNWRiders couldn't help to check out the new girl on the block. This bike is magnetic.


Rainman posing in Carnation after an "emergency" pit.


And finally my Bavarian Tractor (R1100S) after an improptu rear wheel tightening ceremony. Got a bit of a wobby after a spirited corner...found all four lug bolts loose!


Put in about 120 miles of riding with the S1. Thanks Rainman....can't wait to get mine and get off of the tractor!

It sure does my heart good to see an old gray dude riding a Superbike. I am right there with you.

Old gray dude? Hell, I'm only 19 (in my head) - and this is what keeps me young at heart. I'm sure there was something wrong with all of Swanny's equipment on Sunday. Lug nuts on beemer, and focus on camera.

Thanks Swanny, that was a great ride. We'll do plenty more. Not sure the Northwest can handle two AGM machines at the same time and place, but we'll find out.

Say, my brother reserved a cabin at the KOA today for the Gorge July 28 - Aug 1. Should handle 4-6 "old men". You and your buddy want to share it with 3 others give me a shout, bro.
