Bud & Gomer Learning The Track
(Gomer on Okie's KX and Bud on Rich's YZ4)
Man... that short bike corners!
Rich is Pull'in away!
See Gomer.
See Gomer Fly.
Didn't take Gomer long to start nailing the triple.
Too bad pics don't do it justice... it's higher and steeper than it looks here. Going over the top Gomer performed a beautifully executed face plant.
They didn't think I'd post this one. Okie looking for a bag to hurl in... long story.
 
The End.


High Lord Gomer & Rich Rohrich

Excellent riding weather, well, maybe a little chilly, track was fantastic after a few laps. Gomer was in the Chicago area on business, we enjoyed his visit to OTN. Took him about 3 laps to get fast.

I understand he play's down his riding ability on the message boards, Rich and I are here to dispel that rumor; the man can ride.

Later in the day a long time friend of Rich's showed up with a hot KX 125, was great to see "Bud" and Gomer going at it. A lot of passing going on. Hard to say who would have won if these guys got serious, the racing got cut a little short when Gomer tried to go wide (see 6th pic down on the left) up and over the "mini plateau". Didn't work. After a few minutes of body check, Gomer was back at it. Bud felt bad about running over him, and said "Don't try to pass me again". Okay, so that's not what he said :) truth is there was nowhere else he could go.

The weather reports called for thunderstorms all day and a high in the low 40's. Okie should not listen to the weather reports. Had I known we would ride, the party Saturday night would have been cut short. I spent the day with rum oozing from my pores. And Gomer thinks I'm just a nice guy cause I let him ride my KX all day... :)
