Barber's 2011

Post by greasepencil »

Anyone from here go? I was on my 73' T500 and had a few people point at me (some laughing) :D , was it anyone on the board? I was seen hauling several kawasaki h2 engine cases and a set of early h2 pipes on my T500 if that helps.

I was there. I had 2 bikes in the VJMC bike show. Also got to do 2 "parade" laps around the track with the vjmc club, that was a blast. I think I may have gotten the roadracing bug now. I've been reading up on ahrma rules and what it would take to build a bike.
Not many other Suzuki smokers at the vjmc show. There were 2 gt750's, an X-6 hustler, and my GT550, that was pretty much it. Tons of old Honda's there.

Good, I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one from here that was there this past weekend. I wish I could have went by the show area, but was too busy entertaining the wife and dealing with the parts vendors to stroll up there and take a look at what was there. I'd say go for it, roadracing looks fun, but I'm far too poor at the present to build a bike, so I'll just have to live vicariously through your build lol.

I was there with my red/white RZ350 and white/blue stripe RD350LC. I usually parked in the VJMC parking area.

I was there also, rode my GT500 up and camped. Wanted to Volunteer for VJMC but ended up Volunteering for Friday and Saturday mornings with Barbers handing out radios, and then working Corner Marshall Friday afternoon at corner 6, Saturday afternoon at corner 13 and all day Sunday at corner 3.

I was pretty much bushed by the end of eacn day so I didnt even get to hang out or look around the swap meet. I camped upper end lot D with the Corner Marshalls.

Heres the GT all loaded up and heading out on Thurs. Sorry I missed you guys.
