Why MCADX Days At Grattan Is The Place To Be Each June
I upgraded my video editing software to a newer version, so over the last day or two I've been playing with it a bit. I took our footage and some photos from our extravaganza in Grattan last year, and made a new video. I hope you enjoy it!

If you haven't been to the big Grattan party in June with us yet, this will give you a little taste of just how awesome it is:

Just laid out a 2007 sample master plan. I got the funds but if I do MA0 west/east, Schwantz and Bargy it uses all my vacation days. That is figuring 6 to go to Miller and back. Wonder if the boss will believe I have track fever.

I've been diagnosed with Chronic Soichiro Febrile Illness....

there are also Michio and Shozo strands of the virus.... but the recovery from the Soichiro Illness is much more fulfilling.

There is actually extensive medical research on it, but if need be I may be able to get a fake doctor's note for ya sheep

Not unless a vendor (that does leather rentals) comes onboard. A couple of years ago, Jim Sheldon from Trackoholics set up shop and had leathers, boots and gloves for rent, but Jim has relocated to the west coast and is no longer available.

You've got plenty of time to shop around and get some. You should have them for street riding, too, at least IMNSHO! Get a good two piece with a full zipper and it'll be comfy for street riding, too. There's some good deals around. Check newenough.com if you haven't already!

I think kneedraggers used to rent leathers, I'm not sure if they still do. Worth a quick check to their website, though.

Re: Why MCADX Days At Grattan Is The Place To Be Each June
I will have an extra set of leathers to loan out to whomever needs them. They're the Honda two-piece Hein Gericke leathers with full circumference zip, size 36 waist (I'll have to check on the jacket size). Let me know if anyone is interested...
