Quick check in:
I can confirm Joe's report about the AMA/FIM issue with oit bikes. I don't think this guy is a guilty one, but they seem pretty serious about it.
I talked with Max Lambky's team who said they'd been running way too rich and were reloading for another run in a coupla hours. Good luck to 'em! Here's a shot of the dual Vincent motors.
Tom Mellor's Triumph Triple blew a head gasket in a big way...and took out 2 of the head studs at the same time. They're trying to fix it and run again. More good luck wishes.
The Mtn course had been running record returns for quite a while. A few minutes ago they finished up and release a whle buncha bikes from pre-staging, where I'm parked at the moment. It was sorta like the Oklahoma land rush. I wish I'd had the camera ready and not been transferring files to the computer. It woulda made a kool shot to get the variety of bikes heading out. From small cafe racers to partial streamlined to a Harley bagger with ape-hanger bars.
