2008 Oyster Run Pictures

Well we had some nice weather for this years Oyster Run.  It started off a little cold, like always, but warmed up and became quite a nice day.

On the way up, we ran into a car show in Snohomish and checked it out while waiting for Michelle and Joe.  We took the back roads from Snohomish up to Anacortes which made for a nice ride and avoided a lot of traffic.  Once we hit Anacortes, the normal stop and go traffic hit.

We are always looking for additional pictures of events.  If you have some pictures from the Oyester Run, click here to submit your pictures.

Some pictures have been uploaded to the 2008 picture gallery.

Motorcycle Crashes at 239mph

A 47-year-old record-setting motorcycle racer from Montana has died when he lost control and crashed while traveling at 239 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

WENDOVER, Utah —
A 47-year-old record-setting motorcycle racer from Montana has died when he lost control and crashed while traveling at 239 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Investigators weren’t sure what caused Cliff Gullett, of Bozeman, Mont., to lose control of the motorcycle Wednesday during a time trial.

The American Motorcyclist Association said on its Web site that Gullett was competing in the 500cc Streamliner class at the Salt Flats, where drivers go for speed records every summer on the flat, open space just east of the Nevada state line.

Gullett owned Team Bozeman Motorsports, a motorcycle and snowmobile dealership. He had set a handful of world land-speed records and wanted to eventually become the first to reach 400 mph on a two-wheeled Streamliner, according to an interview last week with The Billings Gazette.

Curt Lance, Team Bozeman’s general manager, said “Cliff always told me that if anything happened on the Salt, he wanted it to be quick and not lingering. He died doing the thing he loved to do most – racing at Bonneville.”

Thunder in the Sun

Labor Day weekend: The “Thunder is the Sun” rally over in Manson , right outside the town of Lake Chelan was great. Lots & Lots of people showed up. I think the camp sites were FULL. Brian Howe of Bad Company was the main act and he rocked the place. The weather was great. Hot and sunny. Might be something you’ll want to plan on next year.

The Mystery Poker Run

Well I just got back from the Mystery Poker Run put on by the “Iron Indian Riders” for “Children’s Home Society” Not a real long ride, about 50 miles, but the weather was great and they even had a BBQ at the end. I was standing with Kirk and his wife while they called out winning raffle numbers and when it came up to the last prize , (that was a “novelty helmet” that you can’t even use unless you want to get a $112 ticket) I told Kirk, “my luck I’ll win that” and guess what? I did…….

Here’s a picture of Kirk and his wife biker dudes, DUH

COAST PICTURES

Hey Guy! Liked your pics from the coast trip.Tripped on seeing Donna in leathers.Love it. Looks like a good time was had by all. Rick

Seans Back

Good news, Seans back on the bike again.  I feel kind of bad since he came over to go riding but I had some other business that had to be taken care of.  Not feeling too bad though since we did get to sit around and drink beer.

For those who didn’t know, Sean went down at the spring opener this year and broke some ribs and his collar bone.  Thanks to all who have been inquiring about him over the last few months and we will all have to take a celebration ride soon.  (No Steve, that doesn’t mean Chelan ).

RWK Supports local Triathlete

An old friend of mine, Jennifer Block, is a world class triathlete and has dedicated herself to help fight the Niemann-Pick disease.  After learning about Jennifer’s accomplishments in the local Puyallup Herald, Karen Quandt contacted her and a new friendship was formed.
