Whomever it was, they had a good eye and obviously knew something about the bike to be able to recognize that it was a special sighting.

According to BrammoBrian on Twitter, it wasn't him on the bike and it wasn't Aaron Bland, either.

Anyone else have any guesses?

Sorry to spoil the fun, but the masked man is none other than.... drumroll....

Richie Tatum (aka "The Dictator"), Brammo Lead Assembly Technician and (newly qualified) Brammo official test rider.  This photo was taken on one of Richie's first test ride assignment.  I have no idea who snapped the photo.  One of the nice things about being in Ashland is that we can ususally avoid prying eyes and "spy photos" like this... oh well... I guess this is what happens when you create a game changing electric motorcycle.

Richie's testing will provide valuable input to the engineering team and his body weight is a good match to the average American male rider.

What did you just call him?

I believe he just called Richie a fat slob. 
I'd like to know Richie's height and weight so that I can tell if I'll look like a giant on the Empulse.
