Will do Tom but First I gotta get her in the mood. Then I slowly suggest that she download the pics and all the while try to make her feel like it was her idea. After she is already to go, then I gotta size them down and upload them. With today being my birthday (crap - 51) and tomorrow being Friday...well I'll try to push for a completion date sometime this weekend, so I'll try to pop this weasel soon! :mrgreen:

I am sitting on the line, ready to launch the screaming yellow zonker into the stratosphere when the Gibber roars up beside me and screams that Dan wants to see me at scoring to inspect my motor. My heart falls into my stomach for about 3 seconds (old age) and then Gibber starts laughing, crap man I was having a heart attack. After that I knew that I was officially part of the gentleman's class . Never had so much fun racing before.

Happy Birthday shredder! Looking forward to seeing everyone at Carbondale.

Here is the you tube link to my attempt at capturing the Melvern 1000 class race with my helmet cam, until it got broken off. :oops: This has always been a fear of mine but the safety tether held on until I the end of lap 3 where I tossed it to my wife at the finish line.

Watching this video a few times I did notice that Gibber's rear end looked a little bouncy. You need to get that shock fixed Gibber.

Tom, I think you need to get a tire that doesn't hook up as much, It felt like I was shot by a shot gun with your roost. damn two smokers. 8)

Here is some of the family reunion pics from Melvern. I also put up a rare pic showing Tom just after re-entry and just before touch-down. This photo was just seconds after the sonic boom was felt! I'm sure you all heard it too!

We have Tom pulling out another win at scoring, JP coming over and checking out what kind of soil he has been roosting on the Shred-mister and OOHHHH YESSS! A wonderful pic of Dennis up close showing the happy smile on my face with the birthday gifts I received from my buddies - Oreo cookie dust in the eyes and around my mouth from JP, busted glasses and nose from Jim Presley and I'm guessing some burned rubber from Tom way bback from the start. (Yes Tom I was following YOU off the line....dang nabbit...frusin flibber frat!)

No that ain't chew on my teeth either, it's a half and half Jim Presely and JP sandwich on dry rye baby!

You knuckle heads are, are, are, AWESOME!!!!
:wink:

After watching your video JP (great video) I realized how close we were together all day! That was your little dust tornado's I saw at every fribber-flapping turn! You son of a gun! No wonder Ed Morris was yelling his head off at me at the the end of the enduro section every lap! - I could read on his face that something good was on the horizon, I just didn't realize it was YOU!. I also could tell from the video that it's truly a wonder that Gibber could even maintain control to keep the heap on the track with that bouncy bounce going on! Ho Lee Cow! I also saw that every time you can hear my monster Husky snarl and eat ... YOU STEPPED IT UP ANOTHER NOTCH! Nice job and well done!

That's it. I'm calling Dan. We 1000's may be riding at seventy something percentile but next year were starting a new class because we are also riding in a class that has 125% of the fun as compared in the AA class! So stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it!
WHOOP! :wink:
