We'll see you in two weeks, Tim. Hopefully I'll be down to a single crutch, or even a cane by then... | ||
| Steeleagle |
I'll see everyone in Pittsburgh, too. Really looking forward to it. Bike trip with a couple buddies, staying in Beaver Falls. | ||
| Jaimec |
That's where we'll be... at the MicroTel (same place we stayed last year) next to the little airport. Some cool old planes on display there, too. | ||
| Jaimec |
Anybody else heading to Pittsburgh this weekend?? | ||
| Steeleagle |
I'll be there. Staying in Beaver Falls at the Park Inn Radisson and will be hanging around the Broaster Roadrace Factory Honda paddock. Arriving Thursday evening. I'll be on the trusty 1125R. Hopefully saying that won't be the kiss of death! | ||
| Jaimec |
Look for two guys... one wearing glasses accompanying another guy with crutches. I'll be the one on crutches, my friend Dennis will be in the glasses. | ||
| Steeleagle |
I'll be with two buddies and will probably be wearing a Broaster or Honda tee and MotoAmerica hat. The Honda guys kinda like it if I didn't wear any Buell or EBR gear when hanging around a Honda team! I own a Honda generator, so I guess that counts. Glasses and mustache here. | ||

The Honda guys kinda like it if I didn't wear any ... EBR gear when hanging around a Honda team! Just tell them is a misprinted CBR shirt. Problem solved!  Next... | ||
| Steeleagle |
Great suggestion!!! I'll take some pictures so you know how successful it was...probably from OUTSIDE the hospitality area!  | ||
| Jaimec |
Might need an umbrella on Saturday from the long range forecast. Keeping the fingers crossed! Bobby Fong is riding this weekend? | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Fong....Hmmm...He seems to have a higher opinion of himself than the rest of the world. It didn't surprise me in the least to see him having issues with his former team. Hope the rain stays away for you. | ||
| Steeleagle |
I understand Fong IS riding this weekend. Not sure if Cam will be 100% or not. Fong has the capability of being up front, so I guess we'll see how things shake out. I see he set a new track record while testing, and on a bike new to him. Saturday might be a little damp as of today, yep!! | ||
| Jaimec |
We got in yesterday afternoon. The forecast has changed; Saturday is looking good now, but there is a 40% chance of storms on Sunday. Hoping that changes... I don't remember there being much shelter around the track... | ||
| Steeleagle |
We're here, too. It better not rain! I brought a riding rain suit and it will have to do if it precipitates! | ||
| Jaimec |
We stopped by the Broaster Chicken Honda truck earlier and no one knew Dennis Holp. We'll try again later. | ||
| Steeleagle |
Hmm! This stranger just ate their chicken! | ||
| 1313 |
'Dennis Holp' Probably just another alias... | ||
| Steeleagle |
Be silent, Fritz! | ||
| Jaimec |
Finally got to meet the infamous Steeleagle! | ||
| Steeleagle |
The legend lives on! You guys will have to tell me about it sometime! Great day and weather today. Superpole will be interesting! Tim and Max will have Thrashed Bike Racing in the midst of it! Great job! | ||
| Jaimec |
It was great meeting you Dennis, even if you couldn't score us a chicken lunch. See you next time! And Tim, glad to see you too! | ||
| Steeleagle |
Sorry about the chicken, Jaime! Nice meeting you and Dennis as well. Get that leg better and get back on board a bike! Great racing today! I thought Cam would make that last pass stick, but nope. Great job by Max and Tim. Top ten after making it to Superpole is sweet! We helped the Broaster team tear down, so we banked some chicken dinners! | ||
| Jaimec |
I'll miss the NJMP round; as I told you guys my wife and I are taking a well-deserved "Rest and relaxation" cruise to Bermuda and will be on our way home that weekend (the ship docks on Sunday). Good luck to Max, Cam, and Bobby! | ||
| Smoke |
Had a good run this weekend but still searching to catch the next group! Back on track the 7th in NJ See ya there! | ||
| Jaimec |
Well, that wraps it up for 2018. That was SOME finale in Barber, too; especially on Sunday. Also nice to see the entire paddock on the line to greet Roger Hayden as he crossed the finish line. First the Bostroms, now the Haydens. Is that it for the American dynasties? Now we need to see who ends up where in 2019... especially since the rumors are that Yamaha will end factory support for their Supersport team... | ||
| Steeleagle |
I was under the impression that the Yosh Supersport team was a factory team. My little birdie indicates otherwise. Not sure if Honda has the will (AKA sees the value of $$$ spent) to maintain "support" in Superbike or MotoAmerica. I guess we "stay tuned". | ||
| Jaimec |
Interesting, because all of the second half of the season both JP and Greg have been wondering who might inherit Roger's "Factory Seat..." | ||
| Jaimec |
I forgot to post this photo we took of the "Crutch Brothers" in Pittsburgh:  (Message edited by jaimec on September 26, 2018) | ||

I see Motoamerica folding. It's shell of what it was 10-15 years ago. Almost a joke. Who in their right mind would waste dollars in this series? Very sad because motorcycle racing is great, but Americans are ignorant. | ||
| Jaimec |
Interesting news. As much as I like Yamaha, there really are too many of them on the MotoAmerica grid. It'd be nice to see Aprilia enter the series! https://goo.gl/gSsK6D |
