Those civic center races with live in my memory forever. Those were just great times. And very exciting. I hope someday it will be at that level again. Alot of people and excitment, is what made it so fun.. Why not have wooden jumps again.. be cheaper than dirt...

Yup, JG Goronzick indeed... He was a consistant fast rider. Great shot. Was that ABA gate shot of DC #50 at the 82 Grand's??


Here's the finished product guys. Got the Avocet chain ring yesterday (France) and Avocet NOS cranks and a sealed YST sealed BB all installed... Now its done. They look like Campi's huh??? I'm a happy guy!!!

Thanks for the pics Rex !!!!!!!!


Guest200901

Do you think todays riders would just bunny hop over the front and compress down the backside somehow?? we launched off of it like flattrackers at the Peoria TT cycle race.

That was a tough jump to stay low on. As a matter of fact so was the drop-off jump in the first turn.
The step-up in the second straight claimed many casualties also, it had little to no back side on it. Scary first and second straight to say the least.

It sounds like ATR did well at the Blue Springs MO national, I think just about everyone made the main. I am anxiously waiting for the details. I know Jeff Moe tripled 1-1-1 (Fri, Sat, Sun). More details to come...

Camping sucked, rained most of the time and circuit board in the furnace in out camper fried.

Congrats to all the MN racers on a great showing in Blue Springs. I'm anxiously awaiting DC's report.

If any of you guys need any plumbing work done Russ Newcombe is the man. He swapped out a faulty hot water heater today and did a super job. Better than that it was great to visit and catch up together. Nancy is still battling and still has a good bit of fight left in her. Please keep her and Russ in your thoughts and prayers.

Anyone going to make it to Rum River this weekend for the Rod -N- Ride? This should be a good time!

Trackdaddy's wheels were turning with this one!

Info From Rum River BMX:
Rod-n-Ride BMX spectacular weekend event! Tons of Steel…Hundreds of Horse Power…lots of excitement. We will be hosting our first ever – Hot Rod/Muscle Car/Classic Car show & BMX racing event. Car show starts early – racing during the show.

Money crunch... I sold one of my Mongoose retros last week.... Now this week, my black Haro retro, is going to be gone.... bye bye....
Paul Springer
Do you already have a buyer for your black Haro, is it going up on eBay?

Whats up, I am semi interested, maybe, possibly, kinda, let me know.
King of Pipeline
Well I sort of do have a buyer....But as you may or may not know, those black Haro's are extremely stoke.. So, I can't sell cheap.. It's very unlike you to be interested..

Alrighty then, thanks for making my decision for me. Good luck to you! ph34r.gif

Guest200901
King of Pipeline

I just sent the Haro out.. Yesterday it was 17.00 to ship the Mongoose to MO... Today it costed 23.00 to ship the bike to Kansas..... Not bad, for UPS..... I got 460.00 for the Haro.... I think that's absolute most I could squeeze out of it...
Jeff Manning
If and when I ever finish my HUTCH, I'm selling it for no less than 5 figures. I have to feed and cloth my children with fancy resteraunts and designer clothing ya know mellow.gif ..
Rydjors Dark Sider Black Sheep 1%'r
how did you ship it so cheap? I have to ship a bike or 2 and need the secret password at UPS!

Hey KOP , sell me that Tahoe F/F and you will have some GAS money to get out of your County. I need a summer project.
Paul Springer
Boecker, where is that BABY?
King of Pipeline
The Tahoe project is in full swing.. I got rims and tires on it.. I'll have it together sometime in the next year.. Going all out..I decided to put some good parts on it. Get a DK stem... so,, The price is rising daily..
B. Apold
KOP,

However, I think prices on parts have peeked, so careful if your trying to profit. Rare frames still do good and Tahoe's are pretty rare. Still never bring JMC, Hutch or CBR money.

That was good!

To bad Numbnutz & Doorknob must have gotten it shut down I see, hope they are at the clinic getting their blood pressure checked. That place always like that? WOW, people need to lighten up!

At least the Kopster PROVED THEM WROOOONG. What else you got in that attic? Bodies?
Paul Springer
It looks like they pulled the plug on the soap opera, after some of the comments I was curious about the thread.

I am so antsy for outdoor season, let's get it on...
B. Apold
I responded to KOP's thread but doubt it was me who got it shut down... He was getting slammed on there so I stepped in. Idoit people that don't have an once of interest start razz'n him about the bike being out of the box and think its the same bike as the one he rides. Those same people would be the ones to ask if they could see it if was still boxed.

Today looks like a great day for Weather (78 sunny). Tomorrow, nice, warm, but windy.. I hate wind.

It's a pretty common occourance over at BMXmuseum - home of the self-proclaimed eBay Police. Things get a little hot in a topic & posts start to dissapear left & right.

Sandberg could have never used that gate, he would have got tangled in it..Ha!

Thats about as much fun as watching grass grow..Those guys must have been very dizzy after every moto doing left-hand turns for 5 minutes a pop.
