FTM 2009

So I was gone for 4 days straight. Every year we do “FTM” (the name is an inside joke.) but we used to do something called sportbikes northwest and got tired of the rules and tight ass constraints, now we do our own annual ride. FTM 2009 was awesome. 2 rides, and about 800-850 miles in those 2 rides. Total of 20 people came. Was an unfathomably awesome sight to see 20 riders in full gear riding down the street in an enormous group tearing it up having a blast.

What a time!

Figured I’d share some photos.

Remember kids. If your tires are running bald you should probably not ride on them hard.

Dang looks like a wonderful time. I would love to be up there and soak it all in haha.

Seen the bald tire. Did he wear it down that bad at the end? Since it seems like from the pic it had some life left in certain area’s. Could me being blind and not seeing it well.

He pretty much locked up the rear and it did that. Was on it’s last leg.

oh he was one of those guys from the A group. Still laughing from the cow deal
