Looks like a perfect weekend. Even the dog got a burger.

Enjoyed the B&W photos. Appropriate for the proper BMW look. Amazing what you can do with one of those "cheapie" cameras.  ;)

Great pictures.  I didn't even notice the lack of color.   ::)  B & W photos don't get enough promotion these days.  They can really set the mood better than color.

Nice bunch of bikes there.  What a fun day you all had.

Very nice pics!  It's a shame we don't have something like "Tech Day" back here!  I really envy you guys out there on the "left coast"!      ;)

Well, John just check out Willville's website and you'll see a Tech day for Airheads scheduled in May...time to start planning!  8-)

Yep John, this one's being conducted by a couple of local Airhead gurus and should be a good one too.

Drop Brita's front wheel and lash it to her side, then run a longer axle thru RC's rear wheel and Britta's forks for a piggyback ride to Willville. I40 and 85 shouldn't be a problem, just watch those curves in Hwy 8 and the Blue Ridge Parkway!  ::)

Fix the old gal up, maybe even find a captive audience to get her a new home?

See ya there...  8-)
