This is the third time I've tried this thread, hopefully it the charmer...

The first Thursday of the month is kind of a neat day around the Minneapolis area.
A local pizza joint has a get together of sorts for all things two wheels. By "all things two wheels" I really mean it.
You never know what you will see.
Everything from the latest Ducati superbike to restored sandcast 1969 CB750, to a old Zundap with a Corvair motor.
Busa bling bikes, choppers, baggers and the odd Boss Hoss. One of the latter had a 500CI big block that was pumping out well over 650 HP. The thing about threw itself on its side when the throttle was blipped.

After hanging out for a while I decided to leave as this particular Thursday was a very special day.
I had to plan my next moves carefully, the timing had to be perfect. I would only get one shot at this and it had to be right.

I think I did pretty well. As you can see by the shots below, it was indeed a special day. And as you will notice, I timed it perfectly!

Nice, you're halfway there. Now get out and do some riding! : D

P.S. It took me a minute to realize the special moment...

Brad, it sure does not look like it has that many miles. Great looking S2.

It was kind of fun getting the mileage just perfect.
It rolled to 50,000 just as I rolled up to the spot I took the pictures.
Folks looked at me a bit odd but it is Minneapolis. They are used to odd folks..
