Remember Doobie Ray?
I think we've found him and he's on a BMW 1200

I remember Gaston Rahier who was a world 125 mx champ and only about 5' tall. He later won the Paris Dakar for BMW

Yep, that is what Ray used to do.... I noticed how he always parked his bike with the nose pointed out (he struggled with backing up his FJ)

Back in the early 90's, I remember the my first ride with Ray....sitting at a stop light and I looked over to my right and saw Ray standing there holding up his bike.... :wacko2:

He is a good rider and a funny guy.... I wonder how he is doing?  He moved on from his FJ's to ST1300's and BMW's and attended many Iron Butt rides.
