This picture should jog your memory.
As you can tell Mad Max is one of my favorite movies.
In my defense, I was wearing my helmet. You can clearly see it hanging from my messenger bag.
And yes, I did make the bus wait until I was done.

Oh yea, that was a sweet donut, and a nice parking job too. That bus driver sure had a pissed off look on her face.

You and I briefly spoke, but since we weren't near my bike when we talked, and you weren't ridin your Thruxton, neither of us knew we were both Thruxton owners. I was the guy who had the third best poker hand, three 8's. I gave the pizza gift certificate to the guy with no finger...kept the Portland MC cert. Even though the weather sucked, I had a great time. Those Flying 15 guys are a great bunch. Are you a member? Hey, a couple forum members are ridin down (Revolt, Nwraindevel), and I'm ridin up to meet em, to Corvallis on May 18th to the Oregon Vintage MC Show. A cool event, when it's sunny. You should join us. Good place to show off your bike to potential buyers...plus, I'd like to see it.
