2011 GOODWOOD VINTAGE REVIVAL
Bikes were not predominant in the Goodwood Arena but of outstanding presence all of them. We had the street bikes; cafes, bobbers and other classics on one side, and then the racing bikes competing in the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy. The "Le Mans Start" race was open to 350cc to 500cc, built from 1962 to 1966...Click for MORE ON EL SOLITARIO MC

Blackhawk Farms 9/11
Blackhawk Farms Raceway is centered on the border between Wisconsin and Illinois in South Beloit, Illinois. It is almost 2 miles long, very flat, and very smooth. It was Sunday, the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Gunshow Nick, of Sportbike Track Time was bossman. He is very fast and a Crime Scene Investigator for the City of Chicago. At the riders meeting , as usual, he honored service personnel of all types, from Nurses and EMTs from the city to full-on Military. There were a lot of them. At 10:00 am the track went red, and the track public address, air compressors for tire warmers, and excited trackday chatter were stilled. Pretty heavy.
On the lighter side, some dude wadded his bike through the second and third corners of the first lap, first session. It looked like he would slide to a stop, but at the very end his bike rolled a couple times and his day was over. Nick supplied ample warning at the rider's meeting. Oh, yeah, and I almost got pushed off-track by someone scared straight. Don't look wher you don't want to go.
There were some fast motherfuckers there who were fun to watch and study during off-sessions. At the end of the day, Billy T and I left one session early. We were beat to fuck and amped from the adrenaline and the up-coming SteakNshake.
Attend a track day with STT.

Labor Day in Iowa
Went down to Tony Wenck's place in Winterset, Iowa, home of the "Bridges of Madison County."
These guys ride here all the time and know these woods like the backs of their hands. I haven't ridden here since an enduro six or seven years ago and thus know these trails like the back of my neck. Check out Tony's radio show PIT PASS RADIO
