Sportbikewest 2004 Pix....
Chase Harper bags on the 10R... a perfect fit! Ha.. I tried to sell these 3 years ago in the classifieds and no one wanted them! Now I'm happy they didnt sell!
PrincessKiwi in Pemberton BC.. lovely raingear... suddenly it's damn cold out too!
I thought I was nuts bringing my electric vest in August, but when the weather turned nasty it was possitively tropical inside my leathers! Thank God for technology!!
Freek pulls up... he's beta-testing KMC's 06 Streetfighter 12R (entitled the "ZX-12X"... see "replacement for ZX-12R forum" for more info)
PrincessKiwi learns the hard way not the lean against that hot exhaust in raingear!
PrincessKiwi and Freek, both clad in "elegant yellow" 
We stop at the memorial to say goodbye to a fallen member...
Freek's raingear reaches "critical failure" and needs a little touch-up...
The Kawasakis at SBW
Bananabikeman and PrincessKiwi
How times change... Dirtybill sits with Flyingbusa at STARBUCKS!!! Who'd have ever imagined that!!
We briefly chat with the VROMs...
It was great being welcomed by the local community... Much different than the attitude in Kelowna, BC... (previous city that hosted the event)
Riders gathering for doorprizes...
DirtyBill wins a doorprize! He's still scowling! Doesnt that guy EVER smile???
Like a kid on Christmas morning, DirtyBill finally cracks...
And what happened then...?
Well...in Who-ville they say
That the Grinch's small heart
Grew three sizes that day!
Someone's ZX-10R fairs quite well in the dyno-shootout... Arata and Powercommander
A good time was had by all... Hope next year will be even bigger... Many thanks to Owen for all of his hard work... he needs to learn to relax and smile... people were starting to mistake him for DirtyBill... One comment.. the official "ride of thunder" was cancelled... we observed this to be a mistake.. We walked up the main street a few times and noticed elderly people and other residents of Oliver bringing out chairs to the side of the street and waiting for what they thought was a "parade" ... IMHO I think we disappointed them.. in such a small town a parade is a big deal.. more thought needs to be put into that for next year...
that's all for now.. check out the stunting thread for more pix...

nah, that was early on before they added it in. also, the 10r was stripped of it's title cause it was a race bike. street bikes only. gsxr1k took it with 157hp

Hey great shots.
The dyno board still has the three race bikes listed. They were eliminated based on the "must be street legal" rule.
The Thunder Ride. Yes I've heard your comment already and must admit that though my reasons for pulling the plug on the thunder ride were valid, perhapse I should have just trusted in the riders to behave. The burning bike was still in my thoughts. So based on that, I felt it better to not over load the community. I REALLY want to come back for next year and felt to be safe. When I heard that locals were waiting to see it, I felt really bad.
Oh well. I do the best I can. I had to make a call and that's what I did.
Next year.
You guys can email frEEk photos to post on the SBW site as well.

Bah Humbug!!!!!
The reason I wasnt smiling at first was because I was expecting projectiles from the audience.

Wish i could have found this site sooner so us spokane, WA guys could have introduced ourselves to you guys at sport bike west event. One of our group won the 750cc dyno (and got his bike hit by a truck in the parking lot) and another won the black honda leather. Maybe you know the group we were? Anyways this seems to be a great site and well met to you all.

Hey Fish,
Looks like the right saddle bag is touching the pipe, or is that just the angle at which the picture was taken?
