Last weekend

#1 Unread post by fireguzzi »

Last weekend was the Shorty Barr Memorial Race at Aonia Pass GA. For those newbies here and those that don't remember my posts about it the last couple of years, it is an annual race held in remembrance of my grandfather. He was a cool individual who raced flat track, hill climbs, harescrambles and street races.The street races being in his youth. His most recent bike he raced was the triumph you see in my sig. Im sure some more pics of it are on here somewhere if ya wanna look. maybe.

Here is a link to some pics and video clips I threw together of the races if anyone is interested.

Thanks dude. Looking at that bike makes me feel 21 again.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Hey, no problem. It did the same for him. He restored the bike when he was in his late sixties. Right about the time he started having a lot of problems with his kidneys and heart. Before he got too bad off he actually rode in a couple more races on it.

He sure was proud of that bike.
