weekend with AHRMA

[rich_imp]

it was a cold and windy weekend. I hit the road at 6am heading for Willow Springs raceway to spend three days volunteering with the American Historic racing motorcycle association. temp in the mid 50s with 40 mph winds with gust to 60 mph, it would only get worsehttps://imgur.com/SBXFRMUhttps://imgur.com/Z2TlU4k
i took the 395 N. to the 58 W. to 14 S. head winds and cross winds blowing me all over the road. i got signed in and stowed my gear and was sent to corner 8 for flagging duty, after lunch i got to do hot pit inspection where we look over the bikes coming off the track for leaks or potential problems. the bikes range from mid 40s hand shifters to mid 80s 1000 twins and fours with 2 strokes throw in

Wow, that looks cool, Rich. I haven't been to Willow in a few years other than for car track days.

Does AHRMA allow spectators/people who just want to come watch and check it out? That would be worth driving a few hours!

after lunch they put me in the start / finish tower to help with flagging.

I was in the pits all Saturday, so missed the show. But buried in the back in your pics, I espied a CB1100 with bags, windshield, Yosh exhaust, and big tank. Hmmm, wonder whose it was, amidst all the lesser classics......

Ralph Wessell whooped the Harley boys on his class C hand shift Indian

what a site it is to see a hand full of these old bikes ridden in anger. not everything was showen or raced this 38 vellaset is used to cruze the pits

a grope of cb160s ready to hit the track

i found this in the swap meat

it is a mid to late 60s American Eagle renegade 150 these are Laverdas rebadge i may have to make him an offer

sunday saw more of the same
i spent the night in Lancaster with plans to leave and the Angles Crest hwy. down to the 15 and head home. forecast was calling for temps in hi 30s with rain. i am ok with rain but not the cold so i hoped on the 18 after 20 miles there was a road closer and had to go back about 10 miles found another side road winds still blowing me all over
the folks of AHRMA are some of the nices people i know.
AHRMA.ORG find races near you and go

the first time i did this i road to Alabama for the Barber festival and i have done it every year

Good show, Rich

Way cool! Some years ago I and a group of riders from work rode up to Willow for those races, and then rode back home. The whole weekend was a blast!
