The Monarch hill climb was very fruitful. More winning and best of all was having my girls there with me. Even got our pit crashed by the lovable Warren who is keeping it real over on the Church of Choppers blog. Don’t tell his lady but I think I infected him with the race bug bad enough that he traded his ol widow maker YZ490 for a midget race car to come tear up the hill climbs! The guy I sold my old Pontiac to had a fun rookie race. Lost it after crossing the finish line but he already has the car back in good enough shape for the next race.
I came across another Hayabusa deal that was too cheap to pass up. Not sure what to do with it but I have a few ideas...
The old Goldwing had been put on mothballs since fatherhood. Unfortunately the carbs did not like the hibernation. After rebuilding the carbs I found the fuel pump not working. After replacing the fuel pump I found the fuel pump power supply circuit faulty. I pulled up my sleeves and soldered a new transistor onto the mother board inside the ECU. When the solder smoke cleared I took the family for a ride on the old Blue Whale.
Alex flew over from Norway to do some testing on Moped Dick. Good times were had and Bonneville looks promising this year. Although I am not going to be the piloting space monkey, or at least not the main one. Tomorrow I pick up Alex and his buddy Peir from the Airport. I might just sneak out there on the Goldwing if I can get the time off from work...
The little chip off the old block has her first couple of races under her belt. The pride I feel is out of this world. Her world is becoming a lot bigger and mine is becoming much more concentrated. The good stuff.
Here comes...
