More PASHNIT Gathering Pics

[CRASH]

I don't have a ton, but a few. Like Jim (cooper99) posted, we hooked up in Rio Vista and road up. Here are shots of Jim, Kimber, Doni, and Anton as well as a few shots at the gathering.

And don't miss THIS THREAD featuring COM3 (Joe).

More images, also a little hand held movie of Doni and Kimber going up the road HERE

Hey Dan, yet another super set of sweet pix from Saturday's Gathering!! I'm just catching up on allll the posted pix, and just have to thank you all for sharing you efforts.

So, Dude!! How did you snag that cool footage of Doni? You a one-handed maniac or what??

Dan -- OMG! I hadn't even seen the link until Gary pointed it out. I'm a movie star! I only have four things to say about your footage:

1) You're either an incredible rider or you're nuts! (I'm suspecting both).

2) I'm just very glad that I wasn't doing anything really lame during that 2 minute section of our ride.

3) Does my bike make my butt look big? (inside joke)

4) I'll be signing autographs at the next get-together.

Thanks again for being such a great sweep!

Most people add in stupid usually. Thanks for forgetting that one! I really need to figure out a way to mount my digital video camera without that big v-twin shaking the hell out of it.

You never did anything lame the entire ride. Like I told you, I was surprised when I realized you were riding a 1200. You handle it very well.

And lets keep it that way!

We need to talk about the premier at Cannes this coming year too.

I think I enjoy sweep even more than lead. I just get to sit back and relax and watch what's going on. My days of having to be the first guy there are long gone (well, I am trying to convince that part of my ego they are long gone, it is a tough one some days ) When people are receptive, I toss out a little advice here and there, mostly I found in my STAR group, I am the encourager. Many new riders seem to get rattled in a group with really experienced riders, they get down on themselves and say that they are just not getting better fast enough. I just make sure they stay cool, give a little coaching and encouragement. I love when people ask me how long it took me to get comfortable so I can answer " 33 years of riding, 7 of them racing professionally and I still learn things every day ... give it some time."

Hmmm. Doni and I read this differently. I figured you were advising her to keep a steady food intake. Doni (probably more accurately) interpreted your comment as a suggestion that "inside joke" was a good strategy.

Well Kimber, all I will say is you married a very smart and perceptive woman ... you should take her advice more frequently.
