Ric, I don't think we have a December race.  I think the next one is 01/10/10.

Boy, I think I was set up for that one.  Someone always needs the straight guy.  "Who's On First?"

The Pics are great!
I'm on #9 and Fred (?) is on a 6-day #33 I beleive and Lloyd B is on a #1 MC-5.  I can't remember when I had so much fun.  Next year I'm gonna be in EVO 2 also on the KTM

Nice set of photos..it's great that our sport has these photographers that show up and capture our action - we can show these to our friends to prove we really aren't crazy and that we really do race!  And the photo guys are very reasonable.  

Nice diversity of bikes at the event too...

Congrats on your "re-awakening", Garrett. Looks like you're having just as much fun as I am..I just got back into it last year (2008) after 20+ years away from dirt bikes.   First a Six Day, and then I too went to a later model (MC5) for a little more displacement and suspension.  

Love the old school handlebars -but be forewarned - old handlebars BREAK...probably just because they are old.  Check out my story here (sorry if its a bit longwinded...):

I'm sure there are different schools of thought here, but I go with modern aluminum bars (not fat bars) just for the security and I think the aluminum bars may be a little more forgiving on the body.  There are some very reasonable ($$) bargains around if you look around.

You SoCal folks are lucky.  Long season.  Have a blast, Mr. Covington!

Words can not describe how happy I was to take out that bike.  I was 15 again only I weighed 60 lbs more.  I was shocked at how good it worked after all these years of complete neglect.  My Boss showed up to the race and he wants to get into it again and some of the guys at work have old bikes laying around and they want to get into it too.  I think the 1 thing that really topped it off was how great everybody has been.  1st. My wife and kids (They realized I had reached a point of no return and nothing was going to get in my way and they stood by me) 2nd the POGer's.  With out your help, forget it. And last but not least The people at the Race.  ARX is so well run it is amazing, and all the people are there for the shear love of it all.

I need to do some more work on the bike.  Correct fork oil level, adjust the shifting and the bars, raise the needle jet 1 notch, new tires blah blah blah

Can't wait.

Hey Victor,   I've got an idea....  I have a couple of SL-100's, one SL-125 (I think it is an SL), an XL-175, and an XR-200.   Just take them all apart, and reassemble one real fast Honda.   joe
