Damn frank weather report unchanged

I'm gun shy from the last race Mark. The chance of rain has increased from your last report per NOAA and a few other sources. Severe thunderstorm watch in affect for tonight although it looks good for tomorrow during the day. I see forecasts of between 60-80% for Saturday daytime and night. Only 20% sunday.

I'll do some rain dances for it to head this way and leave you guys with sunny, clear skies.

Good luck fellas and do the SOHC forum proud this weekend.

BEAR: You might be the guy from down under to save BILLS CALENDER GIRL a broke bike from drag racing. Might end up selling those gears to the club racers that run HONDA SOHC at ALICES RESTURANT IN California hills on the weekends. Seen a few Honda 750's in that parking lot while eating lunch with my son [ me on his V-ROD HD and him on his Flying Eagle Bagger HD ]  those 400cc Yamaha's 2 cyls. came around us like we were standing still [ all rising sun bikes passes us both on this LEDGEND road winding up, down and around ]  in the BIG PINES of NORTHERN California.  I shifted that V-ROD about 100 to 500 times on that ride = couldn't count to busy braking and shifting...... never again !

Just talked to Bill. They guys are at the hospital with Sam. He is in the trauma center now. He did respond to questions by EMS personnel. Bill is waiting for update from doctors. Once he has prognosis, he will post an update. No one is sure as to why Sam went down but the bike did land on top of him.

Lets start sending up prayers for Sam please.

Standby for a more detailed post from Bill later.
