I'll be going. I just have to decide which bike to ride ::)
cool, glad you're going! i'll be there working it and riding it on my V1K :)
looks like a good time. ;-)
We went two years ago and some of those police teams are just incredible! I'll be there if I can
might as well, since it's just down the street.
I'm planning on it. Probably be on my Bonneville.

We've worked all day setting up the ranges. They're going to be challenging and a lot of fun. Hope you all make it out!

I'm under the ABATE tent. Come say hey!
Who got injured today? Saw the fb post from UM but they wouldn't give specifics.

It wasn't anyone I know. From what I heard the guy dropped a heavy bike on his leg and broke something. I didn't see the accident only the guy laying there. They took him away in an ambulance.
I had a great time there today. It was great seeing everyone there and of course the riding was a blast :)
I got there a little after 9 and the courses were wide open for practice. I did a bunch of laps around courses 1 and 2. Eventually some others from BR showed up.

Kris was there working the Abate booth without her bike. I couldn't let her just watch and not ride.

Then I handed my camera to Kris and did some riding.

BTW, riding the Kymco around these courses was really cheating it was so easy. Well the first two courses were easy. I tried the hardest course, #4, and it was not easy at all.
These guys were impressive riding the course together.

I competed on course #2 but didn't stick around for the results. Anyone know how to find their facebook page?
Before I left I spent some time riding course #4. Once I figured it out it was a blast on the little scooter but I still don't know how those guys on Harley dressers do it.
I'm glad I was able to make it. It was one of the most fun days of riding I have done in a long time.
Very nice to see old friends, get a little group ride in from Hoover to Montevallo, and work on my very rusty gymkhana skills. Great to see Kris, Josh, and Ken again also ... it's been too long.
Took about 70 photos ... if you want to see them all, they are on SmugMug here: https://nicegoat.smugmug.com/Moto-Gymkhana-March-2017/ (https://nicegoat.smugmug.com/Moto-Gymkhana-March-2017/)
Here are a few of the better ones:

Sorry we missed this one. Had college spring day for Cameron... Looks like a blast!
Seeing the cool kids was a drink of cool water for me. I miss you guys so much! Coupla pictars:

This guy took off for Montgomery with this little one on the back, wearing only what you see. It was barely 70 degrees. I was beside myself.

I didn't get a picture of Kyle or Ken. :-\
Looks like a lot of fun. After a year maybe of getting a GOOD feel for the new Wing, I'd like to give it a try. That might be when I drop it and test the crash bars...... Hopfully not before..... LOL
Thanks all of you for sharing your pics...I got an adrenaline rush just perusing through them! I love these events and I believe they are invaluable skill builders--not to mention how much fun they are!
Thankfully, I'm recovering from shoulder surgery faster than expected, and I actually got to ride my Road King (for the first time in almost two months) yesterday! It was like a happy reunion of old friends, and the King seemed as happy to be out on the road as I was. Looking forward to much more riding, and no more surgeries! ;)
Great to see everyone!
that was a bunch of fun. good to see my friends again, and Kris your smile is still infectious.
Sorry I did not stick around and see everybody. I was there with a group and you know how that goes. The website said that I was the winner in intermediate course. Cool
