Hello Org!
Been a while since I posted a thread and I am having a hard time navigating in the new format.

I just wanted to share something I did last weekend that was very special in honor of the 10th anniversary of 9-11.
It is called “Ride to the Flagsâ€￾ and is an annual ride that started 4 yrs ago. It is to honor those that were lost in the tragic event of 9-11-01. This year was my first time and I will be making this a yearly gig. Anyone that finds themselves in the area next year, I strongly urge you to attend! You will be amazed at the camaraderie and kindness that is prevalent in this venue.

This ride starts at Pt Mugu AFB and ends at a gathering at Pepperdine University where 2977 flags are placed on the lawn, each representing the lives lost that day. It is a very surreal feeling to be amongst all those flags.
There were somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 bikes at this tribute and all were great people! I was honored to ride with some of the top dogs of the Patriot guard and they were stellar examples of what this country is really about!

To note, that of all those Bikes, guess how many Busas were there, JUST 1! Me!.

I wish I could load all 158 pics I took of this event, but these are the ones I would like to share with you.

Thank you and Ride safe!
Bubba

Cool pics. I love the 'Gsx' with header wrap. Someone put some thought into that one.

Nice to hear from you Bubba. Been missing you and the rest out there.
 
Good to hear from you Bubba.

Nice photo of the 'busa and F-4.

I hope all is well with you and your family!
 
Kromy - You have a PM!

F=MA - Thank you, the family is doing well. Good to see you again, albeit through the digital world. I am now sporting the 7D and just getting to know how to use it, less than a month and have had no time to really dig into the many features this camera has to offer. Really miss seeing your Photography!

DO3 - You are most welcome!

Blanca - How are you?

Take care all and don't forget to look up the "Ride to the Flags" website, is was an awe inspiring event and will be a yearly ride for me!

Ride safe,
Bubba
 
thanks for sharing.....

Hi,
I used to catch out of Morgan City and Port Fourchon when working in the Oilfield!


Aussie Mitch! How are you? Thanks, and hope you and the fam are doing well!

I am really torn about this as I was unable to make the last few years. Even more emotional about hearing of Mitch and his wife.
Did anyone make this ride in past few years? It's a really great venue and the riders are some of the best Peeps on the road.
I plan on making this trip next year and hope the locals can join in the ride.
Never Forget!
Ride safe!
