Don't believe I've posted these yet:
Check out the JT Racing Chest protector, what a museum piece!
Same rider, same bike, many years later, annual Father's Day dirt bike ride with friends - check out who has the holeshot inside line (and the only two stroke in the line up). How times. change...

I did a quick workout ride of 15 miles of single track Sunday (first ride in a long time) and it kicked my ***!
Here's a blast from the past, Cascades, 2002 or so with my late buddy Greg. (apologies if these pics are an enzo - I dig them out from time to time).

The important thing is to not ride a wheelie into the tree, you'll just hit the frame and deflect off. You get close, and then loft the front wheel over, carry enough momentum that the bike will slide on the skid plate and tilt the nose down till the front tire hits the ground. As the rear wheel hits the tree, roll on the throttle on off you go. Simple, right?

Back when I had technique......

The little Yamaha enduro went to a new home,that sold alot quicker than the 928.Those bikes also hold their value better too!
Sold my old my old RG400 to a friend a few years ago,would like that bike back.He liked my 928 alot,maybe I can see if he will trade my old RG400 back toward the car.

Pic of the 91 Ultra, currently awaiting an S&S upper end rebuild due to a dropped valve guide from the heat of the '08 ROT Parade (which I'll never do again without a water-cooled bike, so f'in disorganized!)
And a pic of the 70 Sportster, back when I had a beard, and about 10 lbs lighter than now
I also own:
02 Sportster 883R
96 Buell S-2T
81 Yamaha XV920
75 Ducati 860
74 Norton 850
73 Sportster XLH
67 Sportster XLH (basket case)
and the one I'll never sell, probably gonna be willed to grandson, assuming he can kickstart it, cause its magneto only (no battery)
1960 XLCH
