Anybody in the area needs to go to motorcycles on meridian the weekend of the GP.

My sohc4 was lonely. There were a handful there, but we were under represented.

There have been at least 5 from Indy I've noted in the last couple of years. Quite a few Hoosiers beyond the Indy residents as well.

I'm near Pike High School, NW side. Someday we may meet up. Downtown for MotoGP could be good.

I'm also in the area around Pike HS. Good to know there are other SOHCs in the area. I've yet to encounter one while riding. I saw a few last year parked in the motorcycle lot at Good Guys, that's about it.

A moto GP meet would be great. Anybody else going to the mile this year? It is the same weekend. I saw more sohc4's there than anywhere else that weekend.

I'm in Indy and live on the south east side, near Franklin Central HS.  Have you heard about:  http://rockersreunionindy.com/?  You should try to make it out.  If the weather is good, it will be a blast.  

I see you have a 400F.  I'm getting quite familiar with these...I've recently rebuilt and detailed a 400F engine and am getting ready for the next cafe proj.  My welder has unfortunately let me down, so the proj is in a little holding pattern.  However, I have three other bikes that are runners! 

Give me a shout if you want to meet up for a ride!  I'm always up for it.

Wow, that RockersReunion looks great, hope to make it. Maybe that can be a Indy/Hoosier meet point. Sorry i won't have anything to enter, but maybe two next year.

I use Saldana Racing Products in Brownsburg for custom welding steel and aluminum, and fabricating one off parts. They are really big in the sprint car scene and would like to do motorcycles to keep their guys busy. Very fast turn around.

Ron, thanks for the good tip.  I may give them a call this week!  If you stop by the show, find me and give me a shout.  I'll have the 350F you see in my avatar.

NE side (Lawrence) here. I admit, the K4 that got me to sign up on here did not work out due to a badly bent frame, but, i still appreciate these bikes.
