Enjoyed this piece quite a bit ! You do an excellent job of putting the reader right there with you. I think even a non-rider would appreciate the excitement you convey. Fun read !

Great story was this at the old airport in Dallas ? If I remember correctly, Jack Wilson got hit pretty hard as one of the riders came into pits. I was riding a 400 Four.

No wasn't me at a NTNOA meeting. Yes, Jack Wilson was holding a pit board to mark their pit stop and the bike came in too hot and knocked him down..........

Was a great time to be roadracing in Texas, with lots going on.

Ronnie, I didn't know it was YOU ! Shocked

you should have been on a bigger bike!

If all you other members knew the history........
we've known each other for a long time ! not often you have an arch rival and
a good friend in the same person !

New members ?? Some older members haven’t read this before (me) and it’s a good read.
I’ve wondered where you have been so it’s good to see you are still dropping in.

thanks to all who have found this amusing !
many more stories to tell but just haven't taken
the time to put them in short story form.
right now I just want to get back to work before I
run out of time, passion, desire.
oh, I forgot $.

It is always nice to see the striped blue hot rod in your avatar knowing you have stopped by for a visit.
