Owner's Weekend Pics--Add Yours!

[BumbleBeeDave]

Well, I finally got time to sit down and go through my Owner's Weekend photos and get the best ones set up for the Forum. I hope you like them and will post yours here, too!

First off, we have RA and Bruce K loading their antimatter plasma and initializing their cores to ready for warp speed . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

Bruce K presents the Michaelangelo-like artistic talent of the one and only Shinomaster

[BumbleBeeDave]

Bill Bove displays his MAN-genta ensemble . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

Greg, RA, and Hypnos . . . ”To Bee or not to Bee?” muses the man in the plain white jersey . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

Brenda gets hydrated and wonders where her bike has gone to . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

Lange and Keno . . . Lang asks himself, “Who the hell is this guy and why does he hate Paul Levine so much? Come to think of it, who the hell is Paul Levine?”

[BumbleBeeDave]

Saturday’s fashion disaster, ready to ride . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

Serotta Paula renders customer service . . . “Why, yes, you DO get a free Ottrott just for showing up! Ben will take your measurements and we’ll have it ready for you tomorrow at lunch!”

[BumbleBeeDave]

Ben and, uh, Mrs. Ben? Not completely sure . . . “Just keep smiling and maybe he will go away.”

[BumbleBeeDave]

Greg ready to race--er, make that ride. Yeah, a nice, easy, casual ride . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

RA gets down to business with her fake knee brace!

[BumbleBeeDave]

Shinomaster’s artistic talent on parade! . . . left to right: SPOKE, Ginger, Smiley, and Serotta Alyson.

[BumbleBeeDave]

Kelly Bedford conducts the factory tour . . . “The bathrooms are right outside that door behind the tree, RA . . . “

[BumbleBeeDave]

Greg tours the factory . . . “Wow, these tubes look pretty thin. I wonder just how much pressure it would take to---Oops.” :rolleyes:

[BumbleBeeDave]

The Pillars of the Forum hold each other up after too much Serotta Beer and BBQ . . . Left to Right: Bruce K, Ginger, BBDave, Sandy, LenJ, Brenda, Bill(?), RABikes2, Greg (Forum Wannabe hanger-on!), and SPOKE . . .

[shinomaster]

I have never been more proud as an artist. :banana: :banana: :banana:

nice pix!

[BumbleBeeDave]

The live band really got things hopping, partly with this harmonica solo. Despite repeated requests, Ben declined to sing his rendition of the Led Zeppelin hit “Whole Serotta Love.”

[BumbleBeeDave]

Another solo from the band.

[BumbleBeeDave]

Sandy and Gloria . . . “No, Dear, it’s just a bumble bee mask, and he doesn’t wear it all the time--at least, I THINK it’s a mask and I don’t THINK he wears it all the time . . . “

[BumbleBeeDave]

Ginger and Hypnos wonder when the annoying photographer wearing the bee mask will go away.

[Climb01742]

me thinks bbdave is smitten...who shows up most often in his pix? :banana:

[BumbleBeeDave]

Len J poses with Brenda, while wondering, “Why am I posing with this fox--my wife is gonna KILL me!” . . . :rolleyes:

[BumbleBeeDave]

Gary and Diana came from Pennsylvania to “Shut Up And Ride.”

[BumbleBeeDave]

Smiley and Karen show his true character --and her true patience . . .
:rolleyes:

[BumbleBeeDave]

Greg chows down . . . “Hey, what a deal!”

[BumbleBeeDave]

Pete McKeon and Serotta Steve . . . “He really IS my illegitimate son, you know!” . . . “Aw, Dad--I mean, Pete!” ;)

[BumbleBeeDave]

Hypnos chows down on that yummy BBQ . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

Sunday’s Fashion Disaster, ready to ride! . . . :beer:

[BumbleBeeDave]

Boy, Sandy sure does look different when he takes off his shirt!

[Serotta PETE]

Dave, great pictures.... how much hate mail have you received off line? (Besides from Serotta Steve). Have a good weekend. Great seeing you and you better get down to Raleigh to see us! pete

[Bruce K]

Great stuff Dave.

Thanks for sharing (and I mean that bubbela)

[BumbleBeeDave]

Courtesy of Bill Bove . . . Hypnos looks cool while BBDave most certainly does not at the Friday night pre-party as they talk with RABikes2 . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

This is REALLY what the weekend was all about! Also courtesy of Bill Bove, BBDave and Tom (TomfKB2) enjoy Saturday's ride through the beautiful countryside around Saratoga . . . See what you were missing if you didn't come along?

[BumbleBeeDave]

Saturday's Fashion Disaster prepares to afflict the countryside--complete with matching shoes! also courtesy of Bill Bove, and Bill, when will we see the rest of your photos?

BBDave

[Ken Robb]

Thank God, everyone looks almost normal with their clothes on.

[shinomaster]

who is the Fastest phorum rider?? Sandy??

[Sandy]

Sandy is, if you let him drive his M3, and don't let Pete drive his newer and faster M3. Of course, Spokes must not be allowed to drive one of his 25,000 cc motorcycles.

Supersonic Serotta Sandy

[Kevin]

Great pictures. Now I am even more depressed that I was unable to attend.

Our own Bumblebee Dave had a theme going for the weekend. Beeer and brownies.

And I think you're right Climb, Bee man was quite enamored of RA and Hypnos...of course, Hypnos is all that when it comes to cool.

[M_A_Martin]

People at the Parting Glass having fun. Bill Bove seemed to be the social butterfly of the evening, entertaining not only Climb and SO Climb, but also Ben, BruceK, and LenJ.

[M_A_Martin]

Including "different" Serottas, and pretty bikes from somewhere in Montana (Thanks Mr. Kirk for making my bikey!). Funny how the two bikes wound up on the same ride.
Thanks for sticking around with the slow chick Climb!

[M_A_Martin]

After the ride some people just wanted to hang out and wait for dinner.

[M_A_Martin]

RA and Greg were ready to go out for more miles! (Well, this was Sunday...)

[SPOKE]

nice pics ya'll!!! looking forward to our next get together.

[M_A_Martin]

Unlike previous Open Houses, the June date gave us a wonderful evening for a bar-b-que!


"You know, now that you mention it, I can see the family resemblence between you and Steve."

[BumbleBeeDave]

Where’s the rest of YOUR pix????

BBDave

[Bill Bove]

I do bikes, not computers. I have no idea how to shrink a photo down to fit the format, I'll send you more to post.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . on that same big-bore office pipe and I’ll post them for you.

BBDave

[Climb01742]
