By the way, I don't care what kind of a bike you ride, just ride!
Everyone, regardless of what you ride, even if you don't ride at all, is welcome here!

The photo above is my ride :
"Kenny" started life as a stock 1997 883 Sportster. Then one day I got a hold of it. Mwua ha ha ha. It is now almost entirely custom with a Built, "slightly juiced up" 1200 motor. I give Special thanks to Stormy Custom Bike Works for the parts swapping, motor building, mechanical, and wiring.
The Metal Fabrication, bodywork and custom paint was done by me.
Here is a bit of trivial background on the name Kenny for those who might be interested:
I know traditionally, most people who name their rides, motorcycles, and cars alike name them with female names. I of course had to be difficult and different. Unlike many of you, I gave my bike a male name because I think bikes look masculine not feminine. My bike "Kenny", was named after my father Ken as a tribute to "both" of my parents, for all of the love, encouragement, support, opportunities, and the many blessings they have given me in my life. Since I wanted to go with a masculine name, Shirley my mother's name just wouldn't do.
I must give credit though, the idea to name my bike in tribute to my folks came from Beach, of
The Beach Cruiser. He named his bike after his father Archie. I was so touched, I thought why not.

Ha Ha!! Very creative Mr. M, very creative indeed.
When I get something with a 6th gear, we'll have to re-do this survey.
That is awesome! It would be great to get everyone together for a picture with the sign! :)
Lol, Whoo hooo! I almost won something! Too bad the crotch rocket guys are sitting around scratching their heads going "Is that it?"
I trust you left that paper on the sign when you left? Funny brother.
I didn't even make the top 10. :-( (well, I'm not really much of a speed demon anyway)
But I'm with Joker...now that I have a 6th gear and a bike that won't go airborne if I push it, can I get a do-over?
Proud as hell to be on the roster!
And a respectable standing.
Howexer I don't think I'll be repeating the night that got me on the list.
But..........AZ does have a lot of long straightaways........
Joker,
Thanks, but I can't take all of the credit here on this one. Can't remember where, but I saw a sign like it, and wanted to do one myself with people I knew.
Ann,
Thanks, and yes, It would be great to get everyone together for a picture with the sign, or just together period.
FLHX_Dave,
LOL about the crotch rocket guys sitting around scratching their heads going "Is that it?". YOU KNOW IT"S TRUE TOO!
I'm guessing knowing Cristian, the record holder, it was on a rocket. And I'm supprised Rick Slark didn't jump in on this one?!?
Re: leaving it on the sign.. You bet I did!
Mrs RC,
You made the list. That's all that matters. It was simply a participant list. If I would have recd. 50, I would have put 50 on it. As far as not being much of a speed demon, That's just meants you have your head on straight, unlike SOME of the rest of us! LOL!
Re: "I'm with Joker...now that I have a 6th gear and a bike that won't go airborne if I push it, can I get a do-over?"
NO, NO, NO, no do overs! That goes for both of you.
Big Daddy,
Proud as hell to have you on the roster, and a respectable standing.
Joker,
I remember now where I found the idea that sparked doing my own sign.
