![]() Woody, Marge, Joe and I stayed at the park in our tents. |
|
![]() Joe Morgan's 77D as he arrived in Hilgard. |
|
![]() Joe with bike. |
|
![]() Woody Grinstead's 78E with 700cc kit and cool pipes (don't ask him where to get them, they aren't made any longer). |
|
![]() Woody and Marge loading up their 78E, it was awesome to watch Woody handle his bike with all this gear and two up, he made it look effortless. |
|
![]() Allen Powell's 79F as he arrived with just a sleeping bag, tarp and small pack. What a great sound those pipes make! |
|
![]() Allen with his bike. |
|
![]() Dick Brewster's Suzuki Bandit 1200 traveling light (and capable of light speed I think). |
|
![]() Here's my 80G special II (only a semi-special, no standard model made that year). The white tail bag is on Joe's bike not mine. |
|
![]() Here it is again with my gear tied on shortly after arriving. |
|
![]() Denny, Dick and Woody think about how to improve the clutch/shifter mechanism. |
|

|
![]() Denny, Neal, Blaine (80G), Allen (79F), Woody (78E), Joe (77D), Dick (Bandit 1200) |
|
![]() Allen took this shot so he's not in the picture. Neal's dog, Buzzard by the Yamahahack. |
|
![]() Joe's bike reaching out while he breaks camp. |
|
![]() My vote for campsite at next years gathering. Anthony Lake, about 8000 feet high and just 25 miles from Neal's place. |
