Not that I know of....................Personally I just returned from distributing posters for this weekend's 31st-annual AMA-sanctioned HILL-CLIMB event.  The 5 days before that I was at the ROCKERBOX FESTIVAL and bike show at Road America. We had great weather and the crowd was the largest yet at this annual AHRMA racing event.

Big Bob was in fine-form (but not as good as his wife ;) and Mark McGrew was in the pits so I had a very informative 'bench-racing' session about motor building concerning my Classic Bonneville Racer. A few secrets were exchanged ;D

I put about 100 miles on my K3 just taking small groups for dinner and breakfast rides.  So if the messages are few and far between, its because we are having fun after an abnormally long and cold winter.

I'm just back from giving blood Sam...so I don't think I've died.  ;D I took my 750, first ride of the season. Yup June 9th, I know how pathetic that is.

Sounds like the Road America event was a success, good deal.

I'm almost 63 years old. Does that make me MORE dead than alive? Or does it just making me dieing? But I guess after birth we are all dieing. I'll let you judge for yourself the end of next month if we make it that long.

I'm still kicking. :)
But I am slowing up.
I've been told it may be time to back off swapping paint with all the young Turks in the RR sidecar ranks. :(
Looks like it might be lawn bowels for me. :o

Cheers,

OMG, It sounds like none of you are dead but are on your last legs.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I know what you mean though.
I had a good day out at Three Sisters race circuit on Sunday. A couple of young mates on CBR600 and VFR400 came away with trophies as did our own member Tony Benson (TeeBee) on his CB350K4.
I'm off to get my car serviced and MOT with Simon42 in Liverpool. Allways a nice day out with Simon.

Riding the CB750.... and survived despite first ride with my wife that never had been on a bike before. She lean to the other side when cornering... ::) But she do better after some rides....

Soon back here after cam replacement. CX-7 a little bit too boring and erratic for smooth Sunday rides on nice country roads, in the city with red lights etc... run almost after 3000, better after 4000-5000, wake up after 6000 and sounds nice and wild after 7000rpms.
Action Fours SS-1 going back in. Frame kit makes everything so easy. I do not have to remove the coils before lifting the head cover.
Maybe DP295 later on.

The reports of my death are (somewhat) exaggerated. I only look that way after working on the 'matic after my day job. Sightings a week from Friday should confirm my need for sleep... ;) Do we do a late dinner that Friday?

mostly down in the garage trying to finish the supermono build.... must have logged already some 600 hours working on the thing, still another 100 to go i guess, went way out of control... and the Gpz needed some work too for this season.

good enough excuses?
