Naturally, you must rep your school colors.

h/t to my father for driving out from New York in the RV, towing the bikes, and being a great help sorting out the R6's suspension. Grattan was pretty rough with a chilly morning and their infernal tar snakes.

Alternate title: when you want to go fast but also want to Go Blue!

Bonus Ducati:

That’s my dad :) currently has the gxsr750 track bike, an FJR, and a KTM dirt bike. Recently parted out a Triumph Trophy. The only active OEM I’m sure he hasn’t owned a bike from is H-D.

I’m going to point out another weird thing...

street bikes, yamahas are yellow, suzukis blue.

dirt? other way around.

weird aint it?

Well, the anniversary Yamahas are yellow, but those are the best so I’ll accept it.

When I was little my dad made me one of these. I still have it on my bed mantle, so to me black and yellow are the only acceptable Yamaha street bike colors.

Unfortunately the owner of that Duc ended up putting it down the session after I took that picture :( Thankfully he was well enough to drive himself to the hospital, and the bike got a few scratches.

That is a really sad off. Those bikes can sell for $20k. But I gotta give the guy credit for tracking it.

At least he’s actually riding it hard. Good to hear he walked away with minimal damage.

Man, I was just there yesterday! Missed you by a day. Was definitely cold Sunday morning too but luckily it warmed up quickly.
