God, I miss this !! Not this specifially, although I sure wanna play, but the spirit of joyful wierdness..Moved from there to Oregon in ‘91.
I am an undercover Bozo prankster, living a stealth life here in Oregon, with judges and D.A.s to get the too high for too long folks out of the jails and courts and into their own souls and skins again.
I got a big wheel!! My grandson will totally help me fix it up to maximum BLING power. RU gonna do this next year? I sure hope so. I will follow the site 2 find out. If UR there, I will b 2, and you can tell me by the fact that I am 60, but don’t look a day over 59, and by the moss on my ears…Thanks for the film link too…I have for years now, used the title ‘ squidfarmer,. Glad you’re there.
I put my photos from this year up on Flickr tagged with “BYOBW”.
the film was fantastic…it made my morning.

Great photos Matt!!!!
You got one of me moments before knocking a bystander flat on her ass. I felt really bad about it, but felt even worse when I realized I forgot to hit RECORD on my camera before leaving the starting line. Does anyone have otehr photos or video to contribute…one of my crash would be spectacular if someone out there has one.
Thanks,

The Big Wheel Biker Gang will be there in 2007! Being that were from Pennsylvania, we’ll start riding there now. We should arrive just around Easter.
