I think I have a couple of Pro Honda Oils stickers I didn't put on my bike. we can slap them on your 50 and pretend you're a factory rider.

Depo DNS'd. Some crazy claim about not being able to start it but chose not to bring it to a place where people who do lots of mods and repairs on motorcycles would be abundant. Yep, weak.

He ended up riding BWhip's Ruckus while DoubleDan and I slugged it out on 49cc knockoff pocketbikes with evl_twn pulling 1:30somethings on a 200cc cheater, JetB hauling RedRider's doppelganger and JH41 pulling paparazzi video duty on his scoot.

The videos and pics tell the full story so I won't make this a spoiler. There's just no way to capture it in words.

Here's a glimpse from the pregame warmup:

I think it needs a "Ride of the Valkyries" soundtrack.

It took me about 10 seconds to get to that point and he was laughing so hard he forgot to wave the yellow until I was almost there.
