« on: April 20, 2016, 09:25:34 PM »
Anyone from the forum is going?  I've never been to one and excited to go as my wife gave me a green light to go! Don't know what to expect, but will see!

Yoshi (Garage Company) puts on a great event every year.  The actually-raced bikes are the highlight.  All shapes and sizes -- TZs, CRs, small bores, big bores.  Kenny Cummings even drives out from New York with his Seeley Nortons.  Ed Millich of Duc Power will be racing his Pantah and new Guzzi racer.  Yoshi will likely do a few hot laps on his Rickman Kawi. 

Wear sunscreen.  It'll probably be windy and can either be hot or cold, but very sunny.

Jay will be in the shop doing machine work I am sure.   I'll be up at the track spectating.

Not this year. I need to start my retirement calendar! Next year or two I'll probably start making a bunch of circuits. May even look for an intern position with you guys.

Great tip! Will definitely bring lots of  bottled water, etc.

Minimo is a paparazzi by trade, I'm sure he would take care of the trip report. ;)
