Yoiks!
Geoff, what did you guys do for new tire break-in in those days? Did they use mould releasing compound or was it different for race tires? I remember rolling out of my driveway after my first set of new tires - I didn't even get on the gas, only slowly let out the clutch, and the rear went squirrelly!
Ah, we just mounted the new tires and put the tire warmers on them. They'd still have the stickers on them. You get a "sighting" lap before the start which you could use to scrub them in some, but they were pretty much ready to rock. You can see the wear by the edge from spinning up the rear. The edge would be green and purple at the end of the race from burning out the compound. I chose a soft front and a medium rear most of the time.
But yeah, way back in the day when I rode on the street, I'd take a file to the new tires to get them scuffed a bit. -
He's playing off a post I made about a fake Chevy pickup.
Lol, I figured. In fact, I even thought about your post when I was looking at this vehicle, I'm like, crap, this I'll fly on the forum..... -
Most positions gained in a race...ever!! Due to being held up from getting fitted with a helmet cam and missing my warmup lap, I was forced to start from pit exit while giving the entire field of 40+ bikes a rolling head start.
Once the last bike's rear axle crossed the start/finish line, the flagger waved me off.....the result???? Went from dead last to 7th place with my eye on a couple more positions on the last lap....grabbed my two downshifts at the end of the straight, the transmission went into a false neutral, before I could grab the clutch, it dropped into second when I should've been in 4th, and it spit me off doing 120mph.
Minor damage to the bike and to me (I wasn't just a pro racer, I was also a pro crasher
). Gotter fixed up to make the next race that same afternoon.
The pic you're about to see will show me passing on the outside and while not recommended due to the guy in front of you could fall and take you out, sometimes exceptions just had to be made
......for your viewing pleasure.....

Also, I'm wondering about that thing on the left side of the church's sign. Is that a walking stick, indicating only a certain type of member is accepted, or is it supposed to be a shepherd's staff?"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Yeah, probably a shepherd's staff (like I guessed). The staff incorporates a hook for grabbing and moving the sheep/goats around the neck.Maybe a shepherd's thing-a-ma-jig?"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Yup. Big Math. I've always questioned their Integer-egrity.HAPPY PI DAY !!!!
Meanwhile, here's what Monday morning looked like at our house. Maybe (??) the last snow of the winter. Maybe not. You never really know in northern New England.
At any rate, it's been very pretty here, mostly, this week so far. Nearly 60 degrees (F) as I type this today (14Mar).
