Recently I was looking for a specific picture from ages ago and ended up taking a trip down memory lane...couple that with a PM exchange with a forum member a few months ago mentioning the days of BoMo and I guess it was time to put a little picture show together.
In no particular order:
I'd put this pic well within the top 5 of my favorite motorcycle-related pics. Some may know who these two riders are, I leave the others to guess.
Our very own DucDave inspecting the edge of the highway while on our way to VIR.
Ye olde racing bike. My trusty 2002 F4i. Thing was bone stock minus suspension so I had plenty of incentive to find corner speed as my skillset progressed.
The day I picked up a new Ducati Hyper. Still have that bike, actually.
The coldest temp I ever rode in. My 2003 FZ1 (and for the record, the nickname of that color scheme was known as the "Bee"...NOT the "Kenny Roberts special")
A member on this forum managed to somehow park their bike between T2 and T5. If I remember the story correctly, there was a cameraman and a wheelie involved. This was the result.

Dang I miss that bike! Only vehicle I bought brandy new...had 4 miles on it when purchased then kissed it goodbye at VIR 45,000 miles later.
CEO's R6 hoisted onto the benches during an LRRS weekend. I don't think Chris found the same level of humor as the offenders did.
Ripping the Bee over Highside Hill at a Tony's Trackday
I lunched the transmission on my Honder so ScottieDucati kindly offered his Duc 800SS. Coming from inline 4's, I had a lot of trouble getting my brain to understand that those twins max out at 5k RPM. Still, it was fun to cruise around on that for a couple races.
Rebuilding the engine on the Honder. Can you guess what's wrong in this picture?
My good friend Eric warming up some knee pucks at the Hooksett ice rink. Between the book "Total Control", my good friend Eric and that parking lot, I would learn there first what it was like to drag a knee.
Warming up the tires on Tracy Rd
I worked with Jake at my first job...Hudson Cycle Center. Knew him for years until we had a disagreement and stopped talking. I learned last year that he'd passed away several years ago...had me wishing I took the steps to patch things up. RIP Jake man!
How the Butcher was born. Picture edit courtesy of Trick Mike. Racing in HW, this little incident was a bit unsettling to me at the time because there was a group of 3 or 4 racers that were known to possibly bump people out of the way during a race. Being a Novice, the last thing I wanted was to be lumped in with that group so of course someone happens to catch 3 frames of a pass I was setting up for in T10 however rider 289 made a mistake in T9 so I went for it. Thankfully no one crashed out.
Be awesome to see the memories from other members here so, post 'em up!!
