Man, I love that photo of Conley sucking the face off Miss Owatonna 1979!
That picture scares me! Jack looks like he has other things on his mind!
King of Pipeline
In person I usually look angry.. I am inside, but don't show it,,LOL..

Miss Owatonna.. Oh yeah.. who knows if she kept up with the years...I'd definitely like to see that.. I was in Owatonna a few hours ago... I didn't see much there. I just got a banana split and left town...
B. Apold
Owatonna had lots of egar girls when I lived there... KOP, open your Waseca eyes
WBL BMXer - aka Chucky
Brad, did those girls have black spots and an udder?

WBL, yes and neatly trimmed beareds..
King of Pipeline
For once when I was in Owatonna, I didn't see Lemke walking.. or on his motorcycle.. Maybe I should have hit Taco Bell, that's where I seen him last time...

Isanti yesterday. Small turnout, and no old school class. Was a Mike Auman sighting, but is on the injured list, but was there with his kids racing.

Don't forget, next weekend is the Rum River Fall Classic. Lots of different things going on. Tot races and parent racing. Have heard of a few OS'ers that are going to be there. Should be a fun time!

Took a few artsy-fartsy shots yesterday for my own entertainment purposes, since there was no old people there ...

Is that my own personal dressing room at next year's races? I'm game as long as Springer has to do the cleaning.
Paul Springer
LOL, major belly laugh there Chucky! Conley found the place you slip in to your super hero cape. I am thinking about heading to Isanti Thursday night for practice.
Guest200901
Yes, I was Chuck-l-ing at the stop light when I left Isanti Saturday! Which made me realize I needed to start "The Port-O-Potty" of the week.

Hope to see a few elder folk at Isanti Saturday. Feel free to grab a tent and camp Friday night up there with me and both my boy's.
Paul Springer
Man I love the Fall weather, we should be in good shape for Saturday's racing forecast.

I wonder what happened to Russ? Last I remember he was going to be coming out to the State Final weekend to race and mix it up.
B. Apold
The problem with Fall in Minnesota it only lasts for about 3 weeks. October blows, its to cold, November historically is warmer than October (but cloudier) and December is sure to bring snow. I can stomach that forecast, but Jan and Feb (for me ) positively suck... I live for April (Ssssssssspring)

I live in the wrong state
Guest200901
According to an email from Russ, he said he wold be at the Barn Grand Opening
Paul Springer
Good deal, it will be great to see him again! I was wondering where he has been? I was about to ask bnd to put out an APB, yo yo...

Nice t-shirt Jerry, did your mom dress you that day? Something tells me your wearing brown corduroys too. Hope to see you this weekend.
WBL BMXer - aka Chucky
Hi guys. I'm finally back on the board.

Boecker, nice to hear your knee is feeling better. I hope you're able to ride this weekend at the barn.

I will be racing at the Barn on Saturday night and Sunday this weekend. I hope we have a good turnout for the last OS/NS event. Brad, since Friday is just a practice, you should try to make it on Sunday. If you don't want to race, you can still practice before the racing begins. It would be fun to have a good showing for the OS Invitational race.

Wanna leave at 5-5:30ish? I plan to bring Hannah's bike too just to get that out of the way & put it up forsale to boot.
Also, do you think Mike's place has any 3/32 chrome chains? I forgot the OS GT needs one after I ripped it tinto two sections...I've never seen a chain do that. Major Ouch! I can't believe I didn't fold that sprocket too.


Anyone looking for a nice starter bmx bike? 20" Torker from around 88-89. Its identical to a Free Agent. Its got some good parts on it. A mix of OS/MS/NS. I want 150.00 for it. I bought a new SNAP one piece sporcket for it .. The other sprocket and chain folded on that bike too...I'm having chain issues, I don't know why.
Paul Springer
If it is the bike I am thinking of you need to offer up the forks to Conley without question.

Lets leave as early as possible, are you still talking about driving seperate in case you break a nail and have to leave early biggrin.gif

I am pretty sure Mike's Bikes should have a chain assuming the shop is set up (?)

I'd rather shove them up my tail pipe then sell them to Condum... LOL!!! j/k... Mark? If your into these let me know... ph34r.gif

Really though, these are exactly like you had only yours were white. I could get them blasted for ya too. I think J&V would charge 5-10 to strip them and Creative Coatings will charge 75.00 to powder coat the DG frame and redline fork... its really reasonable. If you painted them in the garage with a can, primer, paint, clear, sand paper, compound and time would probably surpass 75.00.. Let me know and I can get it all done for ya.
Justin Miller
I would really like to go to the barn and hang with you old farts this weekend, but we have family in town for the weekend. Have fun and take lots of pictures for me!

Are you guys talking about going Friday night? Its killing me that I can't make practice night. Pauli, throw an elbow Brad's way for me. biggrin.gif

Ya, I plan to race, IF i'm not to tired. Sat might be along day/night.

Friday should be fun as well. I need to ride. I haven't riden my 24" since the last last at Elk River. Its been a non bike riding year for me. sad.gif I've been coming to rehbein's since 01 during the Winter and it helps me with the Winter blues, cuz I get'm. I live for the sun/Summer.

Justin, we'll get pics...MC will be in-da-house

I took the GT F/F to the coaters today for color. Man, thats hard finding the right blue. There are so many blues. I think I came real close to the oem GT blue, but a tad bit brighter. The original color is to dark, like the Calf shiot brown color on the new C-yaaa frames.... wink.gif

If I was in a custom mood I would have done bright orange F/F with all polished out parts... Being Manning is buying this bike I gotta keep it real... No-what I'm say'n?

Yo- B to the A

scott Boecker
brad, Im sure if you go to fridays ride you will not make it to sunday's race. i'm sure you will brake a nail or get hung up on a bolt on the gate. As for my bike color it's gold and black , man color's , not shiot brown. not like someone's bike colors... red and yellow , feminine colors.

Thanks,
Bruce

There is a bike shop at rehbeins that should have a seat post in stock. Mike's Bikes is the shizzle dizzle, they will be set up and stocked as of Saturday before racing.

Sweeet, Party at MC's Hotel room! Come, Bring it MC Lite... Lite Beer that is.

But I aintz gotz no elbow pads.

I packed the van last night. We got a locker and I'm only doing this once this once this Winter. Its a pain loading the mini, trying to remember everything (because Hannah sure can't) haahaa, anyway, I'd like to drive one of the cars once in a while too.

Pauli, do I need hooks? I have a bunch.

I would hope he has a job and or goes to school... Unless your Stumpy or Bubba, I doubt AA pro payback is very good and the spike curve on the grid falls real fast... Its like Moto-x too. Lets not forget you have to 1099 yourself at year end...


That is a sweet photo huh? Here's another. MC snapped these last Spring

That second pic rules. Everytime I go to Rehbein's, I eye that line up.
I'm planning on being there sunday racin'.

Guest200901
