OOOooo...I are sooo subscribed. I don't have any photos to share, as I totally forgot my camera, but maybe I'll post a Killboy shot or two when I get my hands on 'em if y'all promise not to laugh too hard! :)

Randy is always good for a good time when he's been drinking... (thanks to 6 shots in about 10 minutes in Shane's cabin)...it all started when Brandon tried to sit on Greg's beer bottle (er, I mean lap), then Randy wanted to wrestle with them....

Wow...now, I'm not disagreeing with you or saying you were out of line in any way, but I'd NEVER ask to sit on a priceless machine that doesn't belong to me!

...and that's why you got to sit on it and I didn't! :D

Off Topic: Hey, d'you make that HDR shot of your bike? If so I'ma send ya a PM...

LOL...yea, it was funny...we just had a 10 minute conversation about how kids always climb up on his bikes when they are at his shop (BTW....DO NOT thump the carbon fiber bikes to "hear" what it sounds like...no, I didn't do it, but he told a funny damn story about it). Anyways, after that conversation I was like "so, can I get a picture on your bike?" ... he said "sure, just be careful".... they are some awesome people!

Yea, HDR'd it.

1998 R1's (there are 2 of them - one for him and her). Completely carbon fiber bodywork and other bits, just painted the blue in) - they weigh about 350lbs wet (this is a 1998 remember). Can't remember if this one had the specially built Harris swingarm or the world superbike swingarm. There is alot more about them that I can't rember right now...Rey gave me alot of info - such a cool dude.

They also have the front rim from the only set of fully carbon fiber Marchesini wheels ever made. That entire wheel felt like it weighed about the same as a 12 oz can of beer.

I saw you when I was on my way out wednesday. You were in your truck with trailer talking to a few under the easy up in front of Kevins cabin. I was going to stop and say hello but it was difficult enough getting into the truck.:fact
