 Sorry, Different track mate, they "make" a street circuit every year just for Indy and the V8 supercars, Surfers used to have a fully dedicated raceway, Surfers paradise International Raceway but it was closed down around 20 years ago.....I live about 30 minutes away from there, Dave500 lives about 10 minutes away.... ;)

ACCEL super coil , came with the bike.. how nice of an upgrade is that?

(and the side cover is taped after I put a nice hole in it trying to kickstart it before i had figured out the charging issue a while back)

OBR 6 (Old Bike Ride) - early May 2008

Vintage bike ride in the foothills and mountains west and north of Denver, Boulder, Estes Park and along the Peak to Peak Highway. Minimum requirements: bike has to be at least 25 years old and running. Many VERY old bikes and many different brands. This is a short video. Reason being: snow isn't good for video equipment  

This is a video Heffay put together. Our SOHC4.net participants include myself on my blue 750F, Heffay on his 350 and his then girlfriend/now wife Elizabeth, Mad Dog on his 650, Terry CB650 on his Blue 360 carrying a organ donor cooler , Paul aka 78 K550 on his early maroon naked Wing, Gordon on his green 750. Probably leaving someone out.

I remember... Right after I took off up 275 from you my MAC muffler flew off , gave a car a flat and a truck rode over it and smashed it... But a good day of riding before that!
