Robert,

Thank's a lot for your prompt answer. I am very glade to be part of this group.

I have a Suzuki Boulevard C90 (in Brazil it is called C1500). She is just incredable, I love her.

I am not used to ride in group. But in fact I never ride alone, my family is always with me (my wife and my two little kids). Each one enjoing the road by different ways.

It is good to do what you love and keep your family together.

I wish great riders to everyone!

Robert,

Thank you for accepting me into your "gang". You have asked for a picture but having 5 bikes in the garage and having owned over 30+ now, I would not know where to start. Therefore, here is a pic(s) of the bike we built up for our booth for last year's tradeshow circuit.

My company, BikerBuddy, produces the most advanced solid-state headlight modulator. We supply several branches of the military, some law enforcement agencies as well as clubs at very special rates. I have attached an article about our product that was in last springs RoadBike magazine. I would like to extend an offer of a special price to the "virtual Gang" members. How would I go about that or do I simply give you the details and have you send it out to all members?

I look very much forward to "linking up" with some other members as my travels take me to various places across this great nation.

Cheers

The photo is from a trip a few weeks ago. My wife is sitting on our bike as we ferry across Puget Sound from Vashon Island to Port Orchard.

We have so many awesome ferry rides here in Washington State, and at most of them, the bikes get to go to the front of the line.

Nothing prettier than sitting out on the deck watching the water, the birds, the sealife, etc. go by as you float along on a lazy afternoon.

Send me your favorite ride shot!

Hello to all, I am a new member of the group and as requested, am sharing some of my bikes, present and past.

I currently have an 83 KZ550 H2 (GPZ) as my daily driver. A 1974 KZ 400 S2 as my classic and a 1981 Honda XL 500 S (not pictured) to bang around with.

Pictures of the bikes I used to have and would take back in a minute are my favorite of all time, a 1983 VF750F (Interceptor) and a super classic, the 1978 Yamaha SR 500 (Thumper). Those along with a few 125 and 250 kept me riding when I was a kid.

My worst mistake was to move from a pro choice state (Helmets that is) to a helmets mandatory state. That is when I sold the Interceptor since I needed to strap on a lid to just go around the block and could not stand it. Eleven years went by without a single ride. What a waste. Well I couldn't take it any more so I saw the KZ 400 for sale at $200. She was a runner but pretty beat up so I spent some money for new paint and upholstery and got back to riding in 2001. Then along came the other two and a couple of dirt bikes for the kids. Lets say there is not a lot of room in the garage.

I hope you all keep aware and stay safe.

Here’s a shot of a friend on a H-D deluxe and me with my ’02 UMC Fat Pounder for the website. Also one of me close-up. We were taking a ride into the foothills north of Boise, Idaho to an old mining town named Idaho City for a nice steak dinner and pie Ala Mode. I look happier than him in the picture because he lost a bet and had to buy!

thx,

Curtis

Thanks for letting me join the Virtual Motorcycle Gang! Tough to narrow the bike choices down (one of my old CZs is in the guest bedroom along with my Husky and my 1969 Penton), but since there is only one streetbike in the stable, here are some shots of my Royal Enfield. Thanks to Jim at Encore Performance & Fabrication (www.epfguzzi.com), Evan Wilcox for the hand-hammered "aluminium" and photographer Joe Bonnello,

photos of my bike!

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your acceptance of my request to join WMA, here are a photo of me on Ben Bostrom’s Bimota race bike at the SB8K press launch at Donington circuit back in 2003. Amazingly the road bike broke down on its shake down lap and the Italians only brought 1 bike with them!

I have more but they are at work.

Best regards,

Mike

glad you did not say Yamaha - my Roadstar wouldn't like that

Hey, check out the green and yellow Harley (attached) I saw in Jerome, Arizona a few weeks ago. Hmmm ... okay for farmers I guess

I road some stretches of Route 66 but only on 4 wheels, drat! (attached)

Thought you'd get a kick out of this below

Peter

A Little 10-year-old girl was walking home, alone, from school one day, when a big man on a black motorcycle pulls up beside her. After following along for a while, turns to her and asks, "Hey there little girl, do you want to go for a ride?"
"NO!" says the little girl as she keeps on walking.
The motorcyclist again pulls up beside her and asks, "Hey little girl, I will give you $10 if you hop on the back."
"NO!" says the little girl as she hurries down the street.
The motorcyclist pulls up beside the little girl again and says, "Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 Bucks and a Big Bag of Candy if you will just hop on the back of my bike and we will go for a ride."
Finally, the little girl stops and turns towards him and Screams Out...

"Look Dad, your the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley! YOU RIDE IT!"

Hi,

GERBINGS - We will now carry Gerbings gear at our shop. Our inventory will arrive in two weeks.

APRIL 18, 2009 RIDE TOMORROW - Meet at the shop at 10:00 a.m. for a 1.5 hour ride on back roads leading to GERBINGS in Tumwater, WA. Gerbings will provide a FREE BARBECUE beginning at 11:30 and serve until 2:00 p.m. The latest in heated products will be available as well as door prizes. Various motorcycle vendors will be attending beginning at 9:00 a.m. Make sure you stop by our Triumph tent to say "HI".

APRIL 20, 2009 RIDE MONDAY - Many of you have commented that all the rides are held on weekends and not week days so this one is especially for the weekday crowd. Meet at the shop at 10:00 a.m. to go riding. We'll ride from 10 a.m. and head back before rush hour traffic - approximately 3 p.m.

APRIL 26, 2009 SUNDAY - The 4^th Annual Northwest RAT (Riders Association of Triumph) Lunch in Chehalis takes place at the Kit Carson Restaurant at 1:00pm.

APRIL 28-MAY 2, 2009 TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY - TRIUMPH OPEN HOUSE WEEK Specials and sales are all week long!

MAY 2, 2009 SATURDAY - TRIUMPH OF TACOMA OPEN HOUSE! 10-5 p.m. Spread the news. We will be hosting our Open House with special Triumph deals, sales, various representatives for gear, free maps, hourly raffle prizes, free food and a bike wash with proceeds benefiting Fort Lewis' Fisher House as well as guests from Brothers in Arms, Lakewood Police, Puget Sound Safety and the US military. If you have any questions about endorsements, road laws, etc. this would be the perfect time to ask. More reminders yet to come.

FREE MAGAZINE - This month's issue of Friction Zone is available. Drop by for your copy.

JUNE 5, 2009 - The Advanced Street Skills class is now full. If you are still interested, please let me know. I'll make sure you are placed on a standby list. We are sharing the track with the military and others so there may be last minute absences.

2008 DAYTONA 675 SE- I've had many people ask why I parted with my 2008 Daytona 675 SE. Triumph made a great bike even greater in '09. More horsepower (which I never used all that I had in the 2008), lighter bike, many updates for performance and it's RED! The separation anxiety won't be too awful because my bike has been sold to a mature responsible rider and I'll still be able to see it!

That's it for now. Enjoy the beautiful sunny high temperature days this weekend. Hope to see you at Gerbings on Saturday.
