My thanks to you guys.

 I'm thankful for a very good year, I got to watch my SOHC buddies race live online, I finally painted the first bike I bought since he early 80's and got it together. I got to talk online with Sam, Terry, Bill, Trey and a lot more of you guys. Several members shared their parts stashes to allow me to make my projects better and I hope I helped their projects too.
  I made a new friend on here and passed along a couple 750's so he can build his dream bike. I bought a K0 from a young man that knew what he had and was very excited to take my money, he was moving and needed it. We both left smiling. Drag racing with my daughter went well, we finished second in the series, had a real shot to win it and won best sportsman and crew chief awards from our peers.
  A famous older bike racer was asked how much longer he intended to continue riding, he replied until I need help getting my leg over the seat. Then I'll think about it. I just turned 66 and me too.

 One of the best parts of this site is making new friends around the world. Recently a couple have been closer to home.  It's funny, all the years we've been racing we haven't made it there yet. We've been to some far away small tracks, many great fun and some not so much. Thanks for the reply and the offer. I'll keep it in mind. With some luck I'll be toting a drag bike along next year too.
