people who step up to the plate.

this will be my pen ultimate thread. whatever pen ultimate means. I think it might be the last thread I ever do becasue after this one I'll never do another one given the signifigance of this thread. If Vinnie Testaverde can still throw the pill than why not me. Or you? The only way you can get in this thread and I know you are dying to is to man up and saddle up. Anyone who doesn't saddle up can't have your picture in this thread unless I grant a waiver or you send me money. without any further ado I hereby start my last thread ever on the internet. thank you and remember, you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

I'm listening to Tasmin Archer but I'm thinking Kid Rock. go figure.

Me in the middle on my PE400 at the start of a 2 day enduro...i dunno it was about the mid 80's.

At the end of day one.

Me & my KDX200 at another enduro. The bastards kept moving those logs so with each loop you could never guess the distance they would be apart.

Coming last on my 400 (as usual) at a flat track day. Took the air cleaner out for the next race to get some more mumbo & the piston skirt snapped & stuffed the bore as well. I didnt think it would last as it leaned it out just that bit too far.

post a falsehood on the internet? I would never do that.

nice shots by the way. those old Katana's have no value at this point. wanna sell it? :D

and by the way your PE 400 never stood a chance once Yamaha bumped the IT up to 465. did you know I have one of those now?

just like this guys!

for anyone who might be wondering these VMX shots were taken in July, at the AMA's Vintage Days @ Mid Ohio.

my last official event with a point and shoot, my trusty Canon A95.

a little pre race quiet moment. it might be a vintage race and it might be a 25 year old bike but it's still a 420 cc 2 stroke and he's getting ready to wind that brute up and let her go.

:bow

[amadeus]

another big KTM and a big man. that one is even older. you can tell by the head.

the bike not the rider. :barb

http://nachtflug.smugmug.com/photos/178754876-L.jpg

[amadeus]

literally stepping up to the plate.

that is a 495 cc KTM

you would not run this bike in the 250 class the way the cheaters of this generation would.

you just wouldn't do it.

let there be light. lots of them.

stepping up to the plate with Chris Matthews. he built both of these and you'd be hard pressed to find better reproductions of both bikes from Easy Rider. The Captain America is exact down to the last nut and bolt. exact.
