This off-season we’re running a series showing your motorcycles. Not just your road racing bikes, but your streetbikes, motocross bikes, dirt bikes, pit bikes, mini bikes, trials bikes, land-speed bikes, drag bikes, speedway bikes, whatever you’ve got. If you have more than one bike, send photos of them all–alone or with you! Send in-focus bike photos (as jpeg files) along with the make, model and year of each bike and your name, city and state, plus the name of the photographer, to [email protected]. By sending us the photos, you are certifying that you own the rights to the photos and are giving us permission to feature them on roadracingworld.com. They may be posted on roadracingworld.com during slow news days.
Seen here in our 18th installment are photos sent in by former WMRRA racer and current track-day rider Greg Froberg, age 66, of Snohomish, Washington. “I’m one of your older-generation Roadracing World fans,” writes Froberg. “I’ve been reading your publication since you started it. I’m from the Seattle area, raced with WMRRA from 1980 until 1994. Now I go to an occasional track day with my 2000 Honda CBR929RR. I still love getting out there and going fast.
“My first bike was in 1966, a Honda 305 Scrambler,” continues Froberg, “and I have stuck pretty much with Hondas over the years with a couple exceptions. My current bikes are the 929, a Honda 919 and a ST1300. In the photos I’ve also included my recently sold 2006 VFR–that I put 25,000 touring miles on–and my last off-road bike, an XR650R with a street license which for a few years was my only bike so it was my trail, road, desert and dual sport bike. It worked quite well for all of those.
“I don’t ride a lot in the cold wet weather that seems to hang around here in the Pacific Northwest from November to April,” admits Froberg. “Yes, I guess I’m mostly a fair weather rider now, but I do get out when we get a dry day now and then. I’m really looking forward to that better weather ahead this Spring. I love to head out as often as I can for a 3 or 4-day weekend trip which usually gives me time to get to Western Montana, Idaho, or some of that great riding in central and eastern Oregon. When I retire in the coming year I’m looking forward to some longer, more relaxed trips so I can enjoy more of the sights, sounds and smells that one can only get on a motorcycle.
“Most of the photos I took myself. The one of me on the 929 at The Ridge Motorsports Park were taken by Jason Tanaka of Jason Tanaka Photography. And the ones of my wife and I on the 919 riding the Tail of the Dragon were taken by Killboy.com in Deals Gap, North Carolina.”
