    I just wanted to share this with everyone. This is so so cool!

    This is Harrison's dad talking... truly amazing.

    Saturday noon at the Superbike races Harrison and I strolled over to the Yosh garage at the request of Don Sakakura ,as he and Harrison had been corresponding via e-mail since February,and looked him up. He came right out of the truck when they told him someone named Harrison was there to see him. Very nice guy ,he introduced us to everyone including the women who cateres the lunch as well as drives the semi.

    We had lunch with Tommy and he introduced Harrison to Mat and Blake.Mat stuck around and chatted it up with Harrison for quite some time asking questions about the benefit race and T-shirts.

    Don then had Rich(team mgr) give us the million dollar tour thru the truck,etc, in the garage,they took pictures of Harrison sitting on Tommy's bike,and then down to the pits to watch the race on their moniters.For a while we were standing next to Kevin Shwantz,I was more star struck than Harrison by this.

    It was cool to be right there and watch as Mat and Tommy focused on the race and Blake got some last minute advice from Kevin ,of coarse some knuckle heads came up and tried to get autographs while they were in there zone.Harrison was disgusted,me too.

    Mat was the last to leave the pits and as he headed to his bike Harrison wished him luck and Mat turned ,smiled ,and said thanks to Harrison.Better than an autograph.

    They invited us back to watch again on Sunday but Harrison wasn't feeling well and we had to go home before the Superbike race he was torn but I told him it wasn't worth risking his health.He inhailed to much dust camping by the esses and was having trouble breathing.(the doctors said don't breath in dust,oops)

    When we got back from vacation a week later all the mail came on Monday and with it was a box from Mat Mladin with a hand written note that said,

    "Hello Harrison,It was great to meet you at Mid-Ohio.

    I thought you were going to be there on Sunday but I guess you

    watched from the other side of the track.

    Enclosed is my 3rd place medal that I have signed for you.

    Also,I have enclosed some shirts and hats for you to keep

    or auction off,whatever pleases you.

    I purchased one of your shirts and will wear it proudly.

    All the best for the 'Benefit Race" Kind Regards."

    Mat Mladin

    Well that was our experience at the Superbike Races this year.Pretty cool ,only way I figure he can top it is if he is actually racing in it one day.

    See you all at Beaver.

    P.S.Harrison e-mailed Don and explained his absence Sunday and also a note to Mat thanking him for everything and asked Don to forward it to Mat.

    Don replied and said it was a pleasure to meet you, wishing him good health and if he can make it to another race we could do it all over again.Very nice guy he really made Harrison feel good.

  17. Bike Storage Over the Winter

    Well I really dont want people in and out of my garage at their own will so that's really not an option. I just dont want something to happen or something to "go missing" and have to shoot anyone. Sorry. The over the winter thing would work great tho. You could even come visit your bike. lolzz

  18. Bike Storage Over the Winter

    Posted

    Im just trying to get a feeling for how many if any people would be interested if I did this. I have a decent sized Garage and a basement with walk out stairs. Im not sure if I want to use the garage or the basement yet, but the basement would be climate controlled.

    Anyway, I know some people keep their bike outside all year round and, well, that sucks. So If im not using the space this winter I figured I would offer it up to store some bikes. The fee would be VERY reasonable.

    Any interest ?

  24. Tire pressure

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    All depends on how hard you ride. On the street it is more difficult to get you tires as hot, so you should start with a little higher pressure. Remember the rear like to warm up faster than the front. If im going on an aggressive street ride I will set the pressure cold at 32ish R and 33ish front. Depends on how hot the day is tooo
