Anyone know of an 80+ year old former Kawasaki racer living in KY south of Lexington that happens to own a bait shop? I have a friend that was on a long distance ride, crossed a double yellow from fatigue, and stopped at the next off. That happened to be a small bait shop owned by a man and his wife who let him sit by the AC and the bait shop was full of racing pictures and he mentioned racing for Kawi. This sound like anyone people know?
In the late 80's there was a WERA vintage racer named Granville Smith,IIRC.He was from Lexington and probably in his 50's then.
From the story, it was a non-descript shack. Buddy stripped to his boxers and sat in the shade of the place, then some dude wandered up with a cell phone on one hip and pistol on the other. Invited him in to cool off. I was wondering if he was connected somehow. Guy and his wife and I've always wondered about the barnacle part . Not a big deal either way, just occured to me as he's telling me about this random chance thing, that someone here probably knows these people.
