Now, in order to keep this post fun, do not scan ahead and look at the pictures. If you want, open another window so you can easily go back and forth--a little trick here is to hit 'CTRL' and 'N' keys at the same time and like magic, a new window opens up (using internet explorer).
Okay, so here is my WEST COAST BEAKSTER BASH 2005 TRIBUTE

PHOTO 1 & 2--OOPS, OUT OF ORDER--BUT DON'T I LOOK GOOD ON BOTH THOSE BIKES??? I B-rought M-y W-allet to BMW of Salt Lake and they helped me out by taking my money! I picked up my right oil cooler and changed it out...and I couldn't go to Torrey without a Gerbing Heated Jacket at 20% off--hey, they had my size in stock!!!!
Thursday, May 12th--The Big Day Has Arrived
As some of you may know, Latakia77 and I had bad weather moving in. Rain turned to snow 2 days prior to our leaving for Torrey, UT. There was no way we were going to hop in the saddles and 2-wheel it through slushy highways and ice-covered bridges when we had a free covered trailer at our disposal!! Especially, when the Beemers could ride "incognito" (notice the Harley stickers!!!)--PHOTO #3 The ice build up was at least one inch thick within 2 hours of driving...
