Default Svet's BBQ Pics

Well it seems that we'll have a few of these threads showing off some pictures from Spok's Annual BBQ and Ride.... what's another one
Unfortunately, Nate (King Buzzo) and I were not able to make it up for the morning ride (had to wait for the grandparents to pick up our son), but we had a nice leisurely time riding up the 65 miles to the Casa de Spok. Along the way a fellow Kawasaki rider (on the super sweet looking KLR650) followed alongside and for a while we thought he might be going to the BBQ too! But alas, he took the exit before us (his loss!).

Nate and I arrived at Dave's wonderful and welcoming home with minutes to spare before we heard the sounds of thunder rolling towards us
Here they came, one by one:



The line-up of bikes was impressive


My little Ninja looked like a little fish in a sea full of sharks, but Angie's 250 was there to give mine some company. Oh, did I mention I got mine over the 100MPH mark for the first time on the ride up? She ran at 12k RPMs and I have to say that I could get used to that speed!

Something about my little sportbike made a few of the fellas offer me the keys to their cruisers.... it was tempting, but I had to refuse hehehe. Instead, I took a backseat on Cary's (2WheelFun) gorgeous 'King Kahuna' and had a blast. The one and only other time I was a passenger on a bike I was 10 yrs old.... can you tell how excited I was to be riding 2-up with him? He and his wife Shirley were absolutely wonderful people!


Here's the obligatory pic of the Spok Man himself. He was a grilling machine!!! Ribs, burgers, brats, chicken... you name it, he was grillin' it up!


Meal time was perfect under the tall evergreens:


A few of us had to head out of town before dark, so we made sure to round up the gang for one last pic prior to heading out. Unfortunately, a couple of guys are missing.


Nate and I rode w/ BigJohn and Rod2625 on the way out of town. John pulled off to his exit and left me in the lead... according to Nate, I was going entirely too fast... Roger, sorry about that if I was... I'm an awful group rider!

We had a great time meeting everyone, checking out the bikes and just shooting the breeze. It was a great day! Dave, thank you again!!!

Thanks Bonnie.
We never seem to get enough of the pics and good times that everyone seems to have. So much more enjoyable than the depressive news we see everyday.
