Nice pics there KH, I think the last pic of the 750 is or has been a member here, I think I have exchanged gossip with him in a thread.

   I'll be staring at these for hours KottkeHead, thanks

   Was trying to figure which class my modified '78 750F(836 bore) would fit in. Dual front disks and one in the rear. Doesn't look like I could run it against any of the Honda's shown. Maybe the Guzzi Any ideas?

  I'm working on getting a track suit together and doing some vintage track days, possibly a class C course. Would love to be able to ride in an event someday if possible.

If I can do it at my age Sean, I'm sure you can have a go at the drag strip first

   That will be the easy one Sam. Already have a local Wednesday night "all comers" where you can put just about anything on the 1/4 mile. Hoping to get joeb, Kamal, and (new)Jhase from the forums all out there for a SOHC showdown, haha. yeah, yeah, been saying this for a while, I know.

    I haven't made it over there myself yet as I am understanding that it is good to trailer the bikes in case something blows up. All I can afford is these damn bikes at the moment, but these guys have access to some four-wheeled vehicles

I had to work.    Same weekend as Mods vs Rockers in Chicago.

Mr. Scondon,

You'll probably get a reply from someone here about what class to run, or go to the AHRMA site for class rules. Maybe check while your on their site for a classified section, you might get lucky and find someone selling leathers. The best other advice is to attend a vintage event, most of these guys love the attention and are more than willing to answer questions, don't forget these guys all go to work on Monday too! (not like a MotoGP race!!) That's the best place to find stuff and info to get started. I can tell you here the VRRA allow some bending of the rules as long as it's reasonable.

   Thanks Brent, sounds like a good plan   I've been able to piece together a nice track legal two-piece suit and some decent boots for under $500. Teknic Sport leathers, Alpinestars SMX-R boots, and Joe Rocket HRC HONDA jacket, all new except the pants(worn twice). Expecting to have all parts in hand by next week. Will add a proper back protector to the list once I see how everything fits.

  Big and Tall doesn't describe most racers so finding used stuff in my size can prove difficult. If I end up really digging the track I will sniff out a good One-piece as they seem to be a little more forgiving in weight(read:fat belly) differences.

    Best I could figure from the AHRMA site a while back was one of the modified sportbike classes that would have me running against early '80's Suzy's and the like. I would do my best to stay out of their way
