ROTR8 - Stories/Observations/Pics

I had to ad observations to the title because I don't have any stories or pictures to share at this instant. I will have pictures later though.

My observation is this....
What kind of person owns/rides the Ninja 650R??? :dunno: Cause that bike has been out for some time now (3 years??) and we have never had one show up for a ROTR - at least as far as I know.... Seems odd to me... Oh Well!

That's it. That's all I've got at the moment.

It is good to hear that everyone is back safely and also good to know that Stan and Jennar (sp?) had a good day. Now I have a case of the "what if's". Second guessing my choice to leave when I did... Oh well.... It was a good time just the same.

A couple from Gump

1) Seems that BLURPLE is NOT the most popular color. :nono:

2) SERP's helmet and a view of Suzi's new "stripes". :2far:

3) Another shot of Friday's early break. :glassesti
My Tool Kit has What???

"Are you Sure?" This after Kelly asks if anyone has a socket so he can adjust his chain.

Once he found out he had the tools in his tool kit he was so excited he adjusted it 6 times!!

Below is adjustment 4..... :silly: :smokin: :hah:

(Kelly knows I'm just funnin' -- I hope!)

Yeah... uh, no longer second guessing my decision to leave yesterday. It is raining here in Lynchburg and to all points west of here. I'd have been in the rain the entire trip home with a church obligation immediately upon arrival!! So, it all worked out as best it could.

Had a blast. It was nice to see the "regulars" and wonderful to meet new folks again this year. Hopefully they, too, will become "regulars".

A quick picture to stay on topic.... Rob supervising Kelly's chain adjustment! :agree:
c) How come the back of my head always looks like there's no hair on it? You guys need better cameras or something.

Is this any better?
Good Luck

Well I'm riding out to Emporia Virginia tomorrow to plead my case (speeding 70/55) to the judge. Coming home from ROTR8 I was so anxious to get home and grab a cold one that I got a little carried away.

So I took a day off work (and as it turns out it's gonna be a nice day) and it's a nice 2-hour ride back to Emporia, and we'll see what we can do. Maybe if I pout I can get it reduced 6 mph, which is 9 mph over the limit, which is 1 less DMV point than 15 mph over in VA. :wavehand:

Hope that works out as best it can Kelly.... Keep us posted!
Good News

Charges DISMISSED!!! :dance::dance::dance:

And I never even opened my mouth in court other than to say "thank you".

At any rate... time for that cold one. SWEET!!!

kelly
That's pretty cool Kelly. It must be your school-boy looks and charm!
I guess the fine isn't too bad. At least there were no points with it. Not bad all in all! Glad it worked out tolerably. Enjoy that Cold One (or two) :alcy:
As much as I hate to admit it.... I think this was the last ROTR that I was able to attend.
And I have determined that this is an unacceptable situation.
I'm currently looking for work. I'm hoping to land something that doesn't obligate me during the May timeframe.
As I would dearly love to ride with you folks again.... :bud: :alcy:
Oh no! Blurple! Say it ain't so! 650F is a nice bike though. Would be good to see you again. Life happens though!
Yep.... It is so.... I'd allowed the ZR-7S to become neglected. As it became a bit more "difficult". I started shopping for a new ride. Wanted basically the same thing as the ZR. Stumbled upon the CBR-650F and liked what I saw. I've been very happy with it to date. A few minor shortcomings in comparison... No show stoppers though!

With any luck at all, I can join you folks again. Sooner rather than later!
