John,
I missed seeing you fly by the 3 mile this year!
Greg going 229 MPH on the 750 was kinda cool though.

Bobby,

I missed being there as well, hearing that Greg beat bikes that were nearly triple in engine size and also the streamliners that attended was great, I did get to present him with his El Mirage 200 mph Cap for his great Run at El Mirage of 201 mph yesterday.

I hope to be back out with the new bike however until I have a race bike rather than a lightly modded street bike I will not race my own bikes at Bonneville.  Now that we are running very fast speeds at El Mirage it is easier to not go to Bonneville when El Mirage is 1.5-2 hours away and only a one day event...next time I come by I will wave again.. :cheers: :wink:

P.S. Mom and Dad say hello!

If I am not mistaken I believe they told everyone to only use the one line after about  the 2nd day.   I know this happened with the 2 short course lines for ridden bikes.   On day 1  you could pick either mtn or Intl course for bikes that were ridden to the starting lines.  But on Tuesday I think it was they only had 1 line for the short course and the workers decided which course you would be sent to.  I believe it  was AMA Ken who implemeted this rule.  I did not see any towed bikes using the other side to go to long course after the first day or so.   Everybody came around on the left side.  And even if they were supposed tto go to the other side what does it matter?   She was not cutting in front of other bikes waiting to go to the long course.  Short course bikes are an entirely different list.

We both need bikes that can go faster than 175 mph so we can go long course!!!

I never heard anything about moving the lines, so I was mistaken...  :-P

A Honda??? Blasphemy :evil:

I will have my wife on a bike capable of going over 175 within 3 years. That is my goal!!!  A that will be without a fairing. I am very confident I can do it with a 1650 MPF bike using a Harley Sportster as my base.

In Oregon the dirt bike club I belong to held enduros and scrambles in the hills.  It rains here a lot and on the slick and muddy courses the overall winners were almost always on smaller bikes.  Big bikes won the races when it was dry.  Greg did well on the 750 and that could be expected.  The less powerful bike with a very skilled rider could get better traction on the less than perfect salt we raced upon.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

We got in 10 runs and weren't really even trying.  Didn't run at all on Monday by our choice and tore down on Wednesday taking our sweet time.

It was very easy to get 3 runs in per day if you wanted to or more.

I did most of the posts on Wednesday. My brother and nephew Cliff had to get back to New York Tuesday evening for school. Cliff is a high school student and Tom is a professor at Dowling College. Tom returned on Thursday and made 5 runs. I remapped the Buell FI and changed carburetors on the red bike and the rest of Wednesday I was a spectator/reporter ... I think Tom made 15 runs with the Buell. We got it to 131 mph but Klockwerks took their 126 record to 136 so close but no cigar.

Eye Dr recommended eye drops due to a dry eye. Wrong. seems the retina was detaching.
Last wednesday spent over 2 hours on the operating table getting a tune up on my left eye. seems to be healing rapidly. patch came off yesterday morning with a healthy progress report.
riding soon.
Replaced the rear spoke wheel with a 17" Duece mag and W- Rated Avon Tyres, preparing for ElMirage.
Just a slight bump in the road.
