RCR-IV: The Fourth Annual Right Coast Ride

It rained a lot.  The site was renamed by popular acclaim to Camp Wetmar.

The Most Memorable Moment award went to my bike Akane, a 1987 Suzuki Intruder 700. A bunch of playful Denizens hoisted my bike on stage and almost everyone had their photo taken with the darling of the RCR's, Muffy. Not having her own protective gear with her, she borrowed my Aerostich too. I say almost everyone because I was totally unaware of the whole thing (in fact you might say I was totally unaware...).

First there's a shot from ground level

then an aerial shot from YoMaha!'s truck

and even higher up

The RCR IV crowd

The RCR IV groupies

The TriDoD (Denizens of Doom: Triangle Chapter) were present in force at RCR-IV.

Another shot of the TriDoD (rather clearer)

Row o' Bikes in the darkness	No, no, no.  The hipbone is connected to the THIGHbone!	What part is this?	The Yomahauler, YoMaha's U-Haul truck
Dave Roof, taking a picture	Watch what happens when I lick these wires!	I kept your seat warm!

Joe Ogulin, with beer	Catness, radiant against the darkness	Cheers!!!  Jean Scott gets enthusiastic while Chris Behanna shows off a microbrew
Gluk-gluk-gluk!  Martyn Wheeler drains the Goldschlager...	...and looks decidedly wasted.	P-i-gs in Sp-a-ce!  Chris Behanna models the famous t-shirt
Cate Leonard seems very happy to be eating...	...while Mr. Bill just looks confused	Kristi Boyt searches her pockets for change for the phone

Muffy and Martyn's Intruder Muffy poses on Akane in front of the Geeky banner	Muffy and Diane: "You're not really taking a photo of this, are you?"	"Oh, bother, you are..."  Diane hides her face in embarrassment	Chip Roberson cops a feel. This photo later found its way to the bulletin board of the Scramble Dog bar in Raleigh, NC.
Toby, Muffy, and beer - "I can get drunk with my eyes closed!"  Toby Creek enjoying his beer far too much.	Doug Davis, in love	Finally!  A blonde!	Muffy, ridin' high as she prepares to shift into first gear
Muffy on the loose.	At least Dane Walther has the decency to grope Muffy outside the 'stich.	Muffy, with the DoD hat.	It looks painful, but Muffy seems to be enjoying it. So is this person (name?).
	PoPs finds a way to show off the retroreflective patches on the Aerostich	...and is clearly delighted with the result

someone & Catness	Annette & Chris Behanna	Chris & Annette Behanna on "Baby bike"	Ed Green strikes a pose while someone (L) and someone (R) look on
Mr. Bill	The NEDOD group photo	PoPs explains something	PoPs on "The Duchess"
Ian Howie, Mr. Coffee	Group photo	Josh Fielek, the Official Photographer

RCR-IV Banner Bike... "RCR-IV or ^H" - gotta love geeky on a manila folder...	One of the rides... Martyn Wheeler leads the "slow" ride	Dan Brown gets a bike...	How many folks does it take to fix a Ducati?
A bunch of bikes...	Cate Leonard tearin' it up on the BagWagen...	Trailered...	Token Harleys... Jim & Lou Groh
Cate Leonard and Dean Cookson...	The passing of the Muffy... "by the throat" Dean adds...	catness and Margo...	The NEDoD contingent...
	A happy couple... Charlotte and Grant Parsons
