AB 51 Celebration Oct. 8th 1-4pm

[Surj]

+ 1 million to all the *Thank you* posts.
Barf is a special place.
Surj, it was nice meeting you face to face. I've seen so many pictures of you and read so many of your words, meeting you merely reinforced the positive image you had previously projected. Thanks not only for the AB51 stuff but also for keeping one of my favorite publications alive.
Dennis, my only regret of the day was not cornering you for a moment to thank you in person but not surprisingly you were a popular guy. My appreciation for your efforts with the bill and todays event will have to be expressed here, but are no less sincere.
Nice boots btw, Sidi's?

Damn Jeff. Thanks! You're too kind!

Here's a few of my photo's...

Arrived early...


Next arrival was our western region AMA Rep, Nick Haris, on his KTM.


It was Fleet week and sky writing was being performed.
Here you might be able to make out the "fleet week" part of this message over the DNA lounge.


Bikes parked in front of the DNA Lounge (and Bungie Brent's car)


Bikes parked across the street, next to Cycle Gear building.
(there were also bikes parked further up 11'th on both sides of the street)

The AB51 team in attendance...


On the way home I stopped to get a shot of the Ocean, the end of 50mph, and my "Lane Sharing Is Legal" sticker.

I want to thank all those that made the celebration possible. I am honored and privileged to celebrate with those involved and responsible for this worthy cause. I'm lucky to be a part of such an awesome community.

I had a blast. I got to see so many friends and give all the lane splitting advocates that made this happen many rounds of applause. Thank you Surj and Budman.

 

[bikewanker]

Thanks to all you biker politicos and roadies for AB51. My intent was to express my gratitude in person, oh well missed another party.

+1 Got to meet some new people, names and faces to Avatars. Sorry I did not get to say Hi to you. I did walk up to a group introduced myself and had a nice talk with people I had not met off line. We need name tags with Barf name and real name.

Yeah I would have liked to meet you, too. I was the asian chick wearing a black dress with lots of tattoos. Say hi next time!

I really wished there were name tags! I wanted to put more faces to BARF names as well.
