Have also enjoyed spending time with Roger and his brother Carl at the gap.
Good people

Is this some kind of code or something??? :wtf:

Or is it some more of that Barry babble that gets spewed at the Gap after a few adult beverages?

Crack me up. Was a nice visit, we have a nice guest room and a largest size house. Roger and I talked bikes in the garage till late last night - talked about H1R's and cycls, jetting, reeds, racing etc. Watched him racing on youtube on the big TV - all that cool stuff bike people do.

This morning over coffee we heard jets buzzing the house (I live real close the the Air Force Academy). Outside we saw a flight of A10 Warthogs doing a fly-over. Few minutes later we saw a Galaxy escorted by helicopters fly over too. Did not think a Galaxy could fly that slow or the helicopters could fly that fast but they did. Galaxy is a HUGE plane - dwarfed the helicopters.

Weather is turning here - high on saturday will be 38. Roger and Marcia are driving up Pikes Peak this morning before the weather comes in up there. The top of the peak can get nasty any time of year especially now. You can get snowed in and stuck at the top in July - it's happened to me!

I think Roger once bought a Yamaha YM-1 305 off me. Might have a 1967 I think.

I have one somewhat good short of the A10's. Never got the camera going fast enough to get anything decent though - they kinda fly fast - LOL. I'll throw the vid of A10's when I upload on YT. It's on my FB moo.
