2005 Doug Bennett Memorial Ride
Phoenix to Sedona Arizona - USA
April 30-May 1, 2005
Entry into Jerome AZ with snow-capped San Francisco peaks in the background
|
For our 2005 event we retraced our original 2000 DB ride path back to Sedona from Phoenix. The weather was absolutely perfect for a weekend of riding. We had 25 bikes show up for the event, everything from Vmaxes to Goldwings with a few Euros thrown in to spice up the mix. After a 200 mile ride to Sedona over some of the best roads and most beautiful scenery in AZ, we spent the night in downtown Prescott AZ and mixed it up on world famous Whisky Row Saturday night. |

Brian's face would have fit
in this pic if he could have lost another 40-50 lbs on that Adkins diet
last year (see
Topanga 2004 pics).
His poor little R1 would be happier too...

Russell kept showing off his recent sex-change operation Sat night at Matt's Saloon. The bouncers were OK with it though because they thought he/she was HOT! |
Used to be dudes would arm-wrestle over the gal. Now they arm-wrestle the gal (and get their asses kicked) | Rumor has it this guy woke up in a room other than his own (but at least somewhere in his hotel) Sunday morning. |
