How embarrassing.....

Does the "preview" show the actual pictures or just the image link? That was the problem. I didn't see the images didn't show because there was a small space between the first [img] and the picture title.

When I had too much to drink, I am so happy, I don't give a hoot....

Fine, then. I will try it one more time.

Here is the second to last installment. This is the racing effort fielded by Jan and Geoff (I was berated for calling him "Joff" instead of "Jeff" all the time. I wish you Brits and Yanks would agree on one common spelling

).
Considering how late they started this project, this was an outstanding result and beats anybody else racing there with their plush garage spaces and motorized starter rigs in my book! Kudos!

With the change in sanctioning body from AHRMA to WERA, there was no sproblem getting space in the paddock this year.

The Speed Channel was there too..

Gentlemen, mount your rides...

warm-up laps in the paddock

I don't care what you say, I saw envy in the eyes of that Kawasaki rider. He knew he would be faster, but how much more fun would it be to run that 6 -cylinder....

(Ge)off they go..

By the way, all you CB1100R fans and owners in Europe: That tailpiece is off a CB1100Rb, cut off at the end.

Doesn't it want to make you cry....

Did Speed Channel give any clue as to when or in which segment the footage can be seen?

I see those kind of envious Kawasaki rider eyes are all over the place when I am out and about on my CBX

Over the weekend we went to the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, which Iâ€™ll shorten to Mid-Ohio. This is a weekend for the motorcycle fan; especially the motorcycle collector. It is a gathering of everything old about motorcycles. There are those who own them, those who race them, those who sell things for them, and those who enjoy being around them. I should be all of them, but Iâ€™m mostly the latter.

When I bought my Honda CBX, it wasnâ€™t a â€œVintageâ€

Very nice, Will.

I wish we could put this at the very beginning of the thread. It would be a perfect lead-in.

Another thing that needed to be edited is: Mike Hahne was also participating in the 85th Anniversary show & parade with his extraordinary 1994 blue Yamaha GTS1000. I did not have a picture of the bike and inadvertently forgot to include him, sorry

I'd fix it for you if I knew how. I'm guessing I have the tools, but not the knowledge.

Here is where the site administrator would have to step in...
