Rod,

The '74 250 Hare Scrambler (or is that an AIR Scrambler?) in the calender photo is owned by Kent Knudson. Kent doesn't race, but he likes to see his bikes out on the track. I'd like to thank him for being gracious enough to allow myself, and other riders like Kevin Brown, James and Adam Giddings, Robbie Jenks, and my wife, Toni, to race his bikes.

How's this for a non-flying picture?
The right handlebar hasn't touched the ground yet.....I..I think there's a chance I can still save it.......NOT!

Kent,
Sorry for bending your forks. But you know, you gotta do whatever it takes to win!

Hey Gary, how do you get your pictures on the site like that?  I'd like to post some progress pictures of Ambr's bike :)

Raymond,
Instead of waving, what do say if I just do a no-hander back-flip? Think about it...what's the worst that could happen? I don't complete the flip, I land on head, and I knock myself silly? As if that hasn't happened before!
 
Mick,
My Internet Server Provider suggested that I use a program called Core FTP LE http://www.coreftp.com/ . It uses my ISP's server to host pictures. Or you can use a picture hosting website, like Photobucket http://photobucket.com/, SmugMug http://www.smugmug.com/, or ImageShack http://imageshack.us/ for example.

Thanks Gary, I'll log onto one of those sites and work it up! [8D]

By the way, do you use the free or Pro service?
