Lars,

Just checking my favourite Blogs and lo and behold, you made "The Vintagent." I was hoping Mr. d'Orleans was going to be at Speed Week. I guess he opted for BUB instead.

Have fun..as you always appear to do.

Hi Lars,

              Fantastic story from start to finish. As a half Dane, I'm very proud of what you have achieved.

Next year is my first attempt at a record, I'm in the UK building a bike for the A-PG and or A-PF 650cc class.

If I can't make both Speed Week and BUB, I'm interested to know which you would choose as someone who is in their second year of competing.

I wonder if I should try for a record with my Nimbus too ha ha.

Regards

Peter

I have to ship my bike from the UK so a lot of those aren't realistic for me. Ideally come over for both Speed Week and BUB, but the 2weeks between the to events makes it very hard to get the time off to do both.

Hi Peter,

Basically, Speed Week has the history and plenty besides bikes while BUB is strictly bikes...

Take your pick and make your choice!!!

I see I forgot to congratulate Lars on his successes, so, CONGRATS where it's due!!!

Peter, hand's OK and healing nicely!!!

Either Speed Week or BUB, if you come with a bike, between wrenching, soaking up water, waiting in the queue on the line for your turn, you won't have much time left to see the rest!!! Shame cause there're plenty of different ideas around... I saw some, but not as much as I thought I would... Still, 1600 photos in 3 weeks, I've got plenty to study later  8-)

Peter.  Read post no. 250 on "BUB 2011" on the BUB forum.  It should tell you which meet you should run.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

From the bottom of my heart:
thank you !!!...Lynda ( you're a sweetheart ! ), Don & Gus ( and a special thanks for letting me use your
helmet, boots and gloves ) , Bill & Veronica and Joe ( special thanks to you for saving me at Speed Week ! ),
Glen , Jill, Freud, Franey, Jim, Graham, SquidH8er, Sparky, Peter and Patrick !

You are the best !!!

Sorry about my late reply here.
Been on a mindblowingly beautiful two day 'scenic route' tour over the Rocky Mountains,
crossing the continental divide three times, going back here to Santa Fe.
No inter-net.
What a beau.....ti....ful tour.


Ohboyohboyohboy....after the trails and tribulations at BUB
....WHAT a flipping releiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif it was to finally getting the little devil
to run sort'a properly and setting a record.

On the return run my mind separated into two different entities:
...one was screaming out loud.....GOGOGO through that measured mile
...the other just went blank....compLETEly blank

Both of them went: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!!!!
when I finally hit the exit of the mile.


NOT so fast as I wanted to/hoped for/wished for/dreamed about/prayed for,
but HEEEEY , I was running only half boost and probably a little too lean,
so what can I say:
it's just a simple matter of coming back next year and do better ....ain't it ?!



A happy Dane with the goofy'est smile on the Salt: CLICK


More later.
