USCRA Spring Moto Giro- rider #46







did I even grown up in Wmass?
this years event was not far from the area I grew up in and I never knew the roads were this good! (google Hancock MA)
nice twistys and elevation changes, Italy eat your heart out

Day one was on a 66 Honda S90 - it'll put hair on your chest at 65mph

before the first stamp check I snapped the rear brake pivot bolt and need to do the next 130+ miles with just the front, smoothness was the rule of the day.
I did keep up with a few bigger (read less than 250cc) in the twists but lost them on the straights and hill climbs

Day two was on my 250 Monza that Pete T from MACH 1 has breathed on

did day 2 on the monza, forgot to wire the exhaust / header nut and had to bang it tight on with a rock applied to the end of my socket wrench, rewired at the time check stop - but toasted my leather riding gloves reaching down on the straight to snug it up while riding

only other problem with the noise maker was that it lost both screw in lever to the petcocks - any one know the size and thread?

Loud and Proud on the Monza
