It all started out so innocently. I was flying in from San Jose, Axel (aka Alexis Sears) was ryding a bike (more on this later) down from San Francisco, and Phil Ross was flying out to pick it up. We were all going to impose on the folks you see here, Ye Wilde Ryder (aka Wallace) and his SO, Lynn Guilkey. Most gracious, were these two, as hosts. Not only providing shelter and amenities, but also food, drink, and transportation - usually in the form of WONDERFUL motorcycles. Our most hearty thanks to Ye and Lynn. (the bike here is Lynn's VFR800, 'Blaze') |

This here is Axel. He didn't want his piccie taken, which explains the net. I guess he didn't realize that there were lots of holes in his - ahem - 'cover'. Smart as a whip, this guy. Axel spent most of his seat time on Lynn's VFR (above), although he did manage to sneak a ryde on 'Stormy' - YWR's lovely VTR1000 - which he rudely stole from me.... |

And this is the legendary Phil Ross. The bike here is 'Slut', the V65 Sabre that Axel picked up, stored, then rode down to Phoenix (from San Francisco) for him. Phil is definitely a long- distance guy, and headed back after our weekend in Phoenix to his 'home digs' somewhere back in 'snow country'. This bike, by the way, was purchased for - um - less than a dollar per CC. Quite a bargain - even if it is a Fugly Sabre. |

Here's Ron E. astride his new love, or at least his new LUST. Yes, that's Phil just behind with those 'rabbit ears'. He'd spent just a bit too much time in the desert sun this particular day (Sunday, after the races). The VTR was an impressive bike. I fully expect- ed to be uncomfortable after a few miles of the Phoenix metro 'slab', but was pleasantly surprised by Stormy's ride and ergos. When Axel stole the VTR on Sunday morning, I was forced to take Lynn's lovely VFR. Much to my amazement, I wanted Stormy back. Then there were those HOOLIGAN pipes.... |
