Looking for Vintage 1980s Race Bikes for Free Track Time, Lil Tally MONDAY

Charlie Young contacted me this morning to help round up V4, V5, V6 riderS who want to get a lot of track time in front of cameras, possible interview time, etc... See Instagram link below.

This event will be NEXT MONDAY, November 19th, Dry, Sun Shine, 59 degrees and a recently rain washed track.

Not my gig, just helping to spread the word for those who can make it.

I'll have my V4/AHRMA Vintage Superbike Lightweight bike there.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD FOR LIKE BIKE RIDERS TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE RACING. LET'S GROW THE GRIDS!

 

If it was a weekend....I would go , This Coming Monday will be hard to round people up.... sounds like fun

 

Pretty sweet. Wish I lived closer. I'll have the RD350 and the KZ650 ready to go for this coming season

 

Let me see if I can get off work for this...any details on the video may help me plead my case for needing to be off work. lol

 

Contact Derek Kimes via his Instagram posting.

 

I'll be there with the RZ as of now.

 

I see you already posted on his Instagram link. Good Job!

 

Have fun gents! I hope things work out well for all involved......I saw Derek saturday and hes looking forward to seeing you guys out there!

Say hello to Jesse Spade too...he will be riding dereks bike. Good guy.

I tried talking Derek into riding some himself.....he looks fully capable to me......get him hooked boys!!!! Talk him into riding some!!!

 

Looks like I'm going to have to wish you all the best as well guy. Had a rim rupture as I was lacing up wider rims for the KZ440. Got filing to do on the next rim and I'll be working on it while ya'll have fun on the track.

 

I couldn't make it either. The RZ let me know on saturday that it wasn't up for a day at the track. It was ready for its winter rebuild. So instead of risking a catastrophic failure I had to bail.

 

Post on Derek's Instagram string to let him know?

 

I called him and let him know.

 

Yeah, I thought so too. I dont know much about Jesses WERA history or past, but he speaks fondly of WERA, and last week was talking about building a "Clubman Legal" bike......I couldn't decide at the time if he was serious or using the "tounge-in-cheek-wera BBS-definition" of clubman

Anyway, he will be riding a beast of a bike, turbo aircooled 750 I think....shaft drive, which I guess if you were going to run street gearing Tally would be the place.

Best of luck to Derek and Jesse .....sorry to hear Jack and 90kacoupe

 

Ah, OK....do you roll on Jesse Spade wheels?

Yeah, he hooked up with Fuller somehow. I'm not certain but I'm guessing that's where Jesse's custom bike thing came from.

Hey, here may be another interesting connection....do you know David Loydd, Loydd brothers racing up in Alpheretta I think???? #10 AMA flattrack Ducati guy? .....anyhow, turns out he knows the subject of this thread Derek as well, probably Jesse too......he ran WERA from Ohio I think....Grattan....saw him saturday as well at Atlanta Motorcycle works. Middleton and I drug a bunch or parts up there for a "Swap Meet"....David Loydd speaks highly of WERA too.

Sean, you and Ev have touched alot of folks over the years.

Middleton had boxes of old Cycle News....David picked one up that had a list of all National AMA Pro Flattrack numbers for 1993 (I think).....there he was, #96....I enjoy talking to that guy....he rode a super sweet XR500 / Aprilla supermoto deal.

Ol' Ronnie Raven showed up too.....Bikeroni Tony who beat Bowie at GNF one year too....good crowd.

Only downside to the whole deal was hanging with Middleton

I hope things went good for Derek and Jesse today.
