****!, I had 1st almost the whole race, right till the end. Thought I had a clear lead, so I slow down right at the end to get up on the b-ball court, and all I hear is Rodger scream, I won sucker Or some **** like that It was a blast guys, riding to the bar was sooooooo sweet too, the ride home like 8 miles was

We'll do it again in 2 weeks.

Later,

Lance

Dudes let me tell you, I get to rodgers and unload my bike (88cc with cam, carb, revbox , BBR forks, I shock, manual clutch and stock gearing)look at everyone elses and not a bigbore to be seen. I am thinking money in the bank. Not so, I got my *** whooped. While racing down the bike path in the rain I came up on a curve and lost it. If it werent for that fence I would have slid onto Lake Shore Drive. Picked my bike up in last, missing one handlegrip and finished third. I ride my 50 every week at Joliet MX Park and I had a better time lastnite than I had all season at the track. I am in for the next one with street tires and better gearing for sure. Also my nephew got alot of it on tape. I am pretty computer illiterate but i will see what i can do about posting it. Mark

Robbie can only hope to improve
Next race will be for sure twice as long! I think there should be more risk involved somehow (dont know how that is possible, but we'll figure that out)

I know that we should drink a 6-8 pack of beer b4 the race starts. I am so happy it rained or there would not have been so many crashes. The risk factor was awesome.

I still can't figure out how rodg slid down the path for 30 feet on his *** and still won? I also have no clue how that one d00d who fliped over his bars after hitting a curb and then got ran over by me stayed in the race? Some tuff cookies out derr!

There is no need for the weak to apply for the race.

haha yes, if we would have raced past that cop that threatened us with the 500 dollar tickets it would have been sweet. The cop wouldn't have known what to do and I sure as hell wouldnt have stopped racing

Where's the video???????????

That shiet sounded like fun!

I talked to my buddy that still lives up there(Hammond, IN) and he just bought his son a PW50. I told him I was gonna buy a 50 and he asked "For who?" I was like, ME FOOL!

He just laughed and told me a 50 was a kids toy...
I called him back later to tell him about the Cannonball Run.
I told him to go out & see what adults can do on those "kids toys".

Lookin' good, all of you, wish I still lived up there! Although this Florida weather isn't too bad.
