Glad you were able to get to the HS start Mike. My brain fart of the weekend was missing the start of my 2nd Vin 200 moto on Saturday. I was working on the 250 and missed the announcement of changes made to the afternoon program, and lost track of time. Glad you all had a great weekend.

Bill, I am planning to be there next week running Vintage 250 and possibly Vintage 125. Very low expectations for results, but hoping to have some fun. I’m a bit concerned about the track we’ll be racing, though...how Vintage friendly will it be?

This is always a fun event, and I’m bummed I will miss it this year. CERA does a good job for a worthy cause. Hoping good weather for everyone and safe racing!

That’s right....the ignition coil fried, but at least the fenders still shined with SC1!

Race Tech stiffer fork springs are important. Stock oil height and .38 or .40 weight springs are suitable for Enduros.

Nice thread, Mike, and thanks for the shout out. You know I’m partial to the Kawis and I look forward to your fresh 175 tipping next year. Here are my 3 KDXes...1984, 2001, 2004

Thanks for the info Mike. I am planning on coming up late Saturday. Will there be coffee/breakfast available for campers on Sunday AM?

Haha....I didn't care about getting smoked in my class, as long as that #850 was eating my small bore roost

Yes Bill, thank you for the sobering reminder lol. I tore the top end down last week and piston/cylinder/power valves look really good. I believe it is a transmission problem this time. Since complete rebuild after KY, the bike only has about 3 hrs on it

You were riding well, Mike! That Yammy was cooking. Despite Friday weather, a very muddy NC hare scramble, blowing up my '93 125, and making a stupid move in the EVO3 class, my weekend was a blast. I'm already looking forward to next year. Thanks again to the AMA for all the hard work!

Thank you to the entire CERA crew and volunteers, Beer Map Group, Trials Inc., and AHRMA GL for putting on a great weekend. I know everyone worked hard, and the effort was appreciated. the PV HS was probably my favorite event of the weekend, but I might have caught the trials bug, too!

PayPal says I ordered mine 05/15, but I have not yet received them.

Very interesting article on Tom White in the LA Times. Tom does a great job announcing our VMD motos and interviewing class winners. Hopefully he will be back this year... http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-tom-white-motorcycle-museum-20170425-htmlstory.html

Yes, I'm hoping for closer scrutiny around bike eligibility in 2017. It was anything goes in the NC HS this year. Im also hoping for a crackdown on reckless riding around the Mid-Ohio facility. I don't want to lose the privilege and convenience of my pit bike at VMD because of a few jack a***s...

Mike, I also received VMD MX award documents this week, but the HS stuff has not yet arrived. I'm guessing Erek Kudla has been really busy with AMA Congress and the ISDE in Spain. I will let you know when I receive the docs in case yours do not arrive.
