A buddy and I will be traveling from Central North Carolina to Indiana to attend.  I'm bringing my Kymco Super 9 (race setup - hopefully I can get it done in time) and he's bringing an SYM Jet euro with a few goodies on it.  Be sure to check it out!

Cool bike sir!

I'll be on something a little less flashy, but hopefully fast:


That is, if I can get it done...  I'm really trying hard to get it all finished and tuned in before the race.

Whiteknight... It IS copied after the UK Blue/Yellow Reflective
Format.  I could only afford the 2" wide tape.  I recently retired.
Previously over 50% of my riding was after dark.   By the way,
I'm not going to race,  but only going as a spectator.

Yes...Josh.  It looks like it should be there.  Apparently you've watched the video.  Get it tuned up as
best as you can.  The most common failure is they choke on take-off.   NOAA indicates the weather is predicted good for saturday.

Thanks guys!

Which video?  :(

I've still got to get the water pump installed and a few other bits before I ready to run.  Oh, and spend my life savings on a couple gallons of race gas. :/

Good to meet you urbestfriend!  I wish I had a little more time to chat.  I was in and out of my gear a lot. :)

This is what didn't get to make it to the races this past weekend. :P  Got it all up and running, but had no time to tune the carb and CVT.

Josh and all...We had a very enjoyable time as spectators.  My son and I went over
riding my two bikes.   This was my third annual race.  I noted attendees from Indiana,
Ohio,  North Carolina,  Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin and Missouri
at the very least.   We are happy this is in our back yard  (57 miles round trip).  Hope
everyone will check out the "Twist and Gone" website,  facebook and twitter pages.

Interesting note from a good friend raised over there is that the track facility was
built by a local man to keep the young people from racing on the back roads.

Hope to see more attend next year.   We had to leave around 3:15 for a family
get-together so I am anxiously awaiting the race results.
