You saw John’s RS250 in my shop earlier. This just in: “Day one on the bike was great! Thank you for getting it in working order, cheers.” Go John, Go!

Stock engine on pump gas. LE OEM damper rod forks & Penske Shock. Stock wheels & brakes. 62 year old rider.

This pristine Aprilia RS 250 Cup Bike is ready to go back to it’s owner. I first rode one of these on the Monday (maybe Tuesday) after the 1998 AMA Vegas weekend. Did you notice all my number one plates???

Farther and Son in T-11 at Laguna on Lindemann Engineering suspension. Life is good.

I’m racing Bruce Lind’s TZ750 in Open 2-Stroke and my SV650 in Sound of Thunder 1, 2 & 3. April 18th to 20th, Racing @ Willow with AHRMA.  I will be in the Berg Garage.  First garage on the left after you enter, look for my RV & Trailer.

Five Races =Three Second Places! And a new PB of 1.58.476 on my 2017 SV650. Last year in July my best was a single 1.58.86 and I mostly raced at 2.00.something. This year in Friday practice I worked down to a 1.59.71 on a front with 9 days of use and a rear with 5 days. Bridgestone Baby! In the 12 lap Twins GT on Saturday I raced at 1.59.something and did the PB on the last lap of my 3rd race. Today, Sunday, I raced in the 59’s in race one. Then I did three 58’s in a row before finishing with .59’s in my 2nd race.

These tires now have 75 laps on them and they look new. Lindemann Engineering Suspension Baby!

See you at Buttonwillow Raceway Park this weekend with CRA. I’ll be set up here in RV Site 15A on Thursday afternoon. Practice on Friday, Q and 3 races on Saturday, sadly only 2 races on Sunday.

My gloves are older than the kid in the next pit. I’ll be 62 in April.

Lindemann Engineering will be doing free suspension set ups this Saturday, Oct 26th, at Dainese Orange from 2 to 6pm.
