Howdy,
Spent a week in England with FTWco racer Anthony
"Mr. Brown" Brown #47. FTWco racer Geoff "What time does it feel like
now" Cain #45 also took a big role in providing entertainment. The
hospitality and friendships provided were second to none and it is all
because of the amazing network of FTW racers we have. If any of you
reading this ever want to come to Colorado and let me play moto host my
door is always open to you all!
Sideburn's Gary hooked up a
boat ride for the day to catch some Isle of Man TT action. It took a bit
longer than expected to cross the ocean in a little boat with 8 people
but sometimes if not all the time the journey is the destination. It was
amazing to get a taste of the TT and I will return with out a doubt.
Me and my lovely little lady did a Co-Built
guided scooter tour around London.
Pete
"Wilky" let me borrow is proper framed TR6 for round #3 of the DTRA and
I had so much fun riding that bike on a proper shale track. in the
Thunderbike Main I probably had the ride of my life getting 2nd behind
the fast as lightning Tim Neave. In the Restricted class main I was
looking to finish on the box again when something in my drive train let
go on the ol Triumph, I raised me hand but it was to late and WHAM! I
got clipped hard and did a one handed, no power having tank slapper as
the pack swarmed around be. Somehow I stayed up and the only real damage
was to my underwear. Scooter Farm Dave hooked me up with his GS750
chopper for the Dirtquake chopper class. I think my beard helped me pick
up the ride. I had last pick for gate position.
Don't ask, lets just say i say it aint a crash if the bar never touches
the ground. The Chopper class was flat track racing at it's best.
Dimitri Costa is one crazy and very cool dude. I ended up crossing the
finish line neck and neck with Sideburn's Ben Part, his poncho flapping
in the wind almost brought tears to my eyes. I think we rode two victory
laps. I also think I got 2nd. or at least that is the trophy they gave
me. Thanks to everyone involved! I had such an amazing time and look
forward to next time. Come visit god dammit!
