311 Skid Mark Run To The Coast--June 16th, 2001

Well, we held the first annual RUN TO THE COAST today. A total of seven roadsters showed up. Not too bad for a first attempt at getting people together. Almost had eight but one did not make it. Mark Burchill was kind enough to think up and lead the run. Excellent job Mark. Alan Duquette hosted a barbecue at his place after the run. I have to say an excellent time was had by all and we plan to do something again next month. We turned a few heads today and got lots of thumbs up. Here are a few pictures of the run. Enjoy--we certainly did.

It does not get much better than this except when they are under power and clipping along at speed.
