buddy, the two reasons why you weren't leading on Day 3 are the clutch, as in:
Dino! Do ya know ya got MORE gears?
and the brakes, as in:
Dino! Do ya know ya'd go faster if'n ya didn't have 'em both LOCKED UP?

and yes, my white-haired half-brother, we DID have elementary schools when i was a kid -- the one i went to had one room, and a pot-bellied stove for heat (and i had to walk 10 miles, across a large prairie as i recall, to get there).

say, have i called you a bastard yet today???

XOXOXO,
FB :)

RE: FMJ winning track day and gloating about it.... do you think the Dragon's Backbone shirt gave him the edge? I remember trying not to run over him when I was riding behind him.

JB2, it's GREAT to see your smiling face on here, been thinking a bunch about you...

re: FMJ, he needs all the edges he can get, on account of he's so sl...........um, i mean, slo.................

well, what i REALLY mean is i have to be nice to him 'til i get my filthy little paws on some leftover S2 engine parts of his that are destined for the BLURR, then i can say what i REALLY think about his abilities.

i'll say THIS, tho: he's faster than Dino!!!

JVV, you say you were doing 140+ and the ride leader pulled AWAY from you? hmmmmmmmm, guess the little skunk-humpin' bastard had to see what a brand-new X1 would do, eh? :)

Ferris: On behalf of my new friend, FMJ, I feel that it is my duty to point out that your above remark concerning FMJ's prowess was an archetypal example of the phrase "damning with faint praise." It is my considered opinion that your comment falls more than a modicum short of the respect due FMJ...but then, I've been wrong before!

Oh, to hell with FMJ, i'm gonna go look at Jw's pictures.

JB2 and Ferris,you are truly legends in your own minds>I seem to remember Ferris as a fas tguy,but I sure was antsy riding behind him on Ferris Buellers Day Off.I know he blew a couple of corners cuz I was right on his ass--with my slow S-2.And we'll see about you,boy--JB2.I don't remember holding anyone up in curves of Blue Ridge Pway.So when you come out in sept--beware.(P.S. nice to hear from your smilin' face my friend!!!)

JVV, S-2 is about 1/2 way back to life.Got engine back last monday(in case you're wondering why I did not make ASBN meeting) and have been reassembling the jigsaw puzzle.(Glad I have second S-2 to look at!!)Many little things bogging me down--i.e. Mikuni 45mm carb reads "fits all Buells" except I guess they didn't try it on S-2's as my hold down bracket does not line up.Had to grind down some fins on Millenium cyls to get carb bowl to fit,--just s--t like that that absorbs way too much time.Hope to have it together next week(Fingers crossed)

Having only had the privilege of meeting a few of you, "fast" would be a fantastic, fully appropriate descriptive - oh dear, another one of those "f" words in my vocabulary since stumbling on this site. :)

Ebear,
Very tough to follow which subtext gores with which pic. Maybe try hitting the "Enter" key after each description and twice after each \image tagline. Or something like that. :)
