Attention Kawasaki Triples Fans! There's a new message board in town!

http://kawi2strokes.com/forum/

 Putting it delicately, there was a massive spam attack on the old Kawasaki triples site that (along with some internal politics) led to a bit of a rebellion.  Anyway the new board looks great and is off to a roaring start. If you like the Kawi triples,  Be sure to check them out.


While I'm at it...here's a pic!

Heads up on the old Kawasaki Triples Board,

For those of you who frequent the old Tomcat Loftis Kawasaki Triples Board it has bee essentially demolished by spambots and does not look to return. 

There will be a new board set up by the old moderators (without Tom who is no that involved any longer anyway) which will be located at http://kawi2strokes.com/

It's only a placeholder as of the moment but it will be up and running soon enough.  Please make a note of it!

UPDATE: Tony Nicosia needs your help!!

Update:  Just got this e-mail from John who's running the show:

Hey Steve,

 great you are helping.

Keep it simple have them write their "tribute" and have them E mail them to me directly.

Just make sure they need to say what tony did for their motorcycling experience, I vote tony is not useable.

And their name and city/state.

Thanks John

PS have then put Tony Nicosia in the subject box....

Johnayleng@aol.com.

Over on the Kawasaki Triples board John Aylor is spearheading a drive to get Tony Nicosia into the AMA Hall of fame and I want to do everything I can to help out. If you have a minute, they need folks to pop in over there and just leave a quick message that they support his nomination and think he should be entered.

For those of you who've never heard of him, Tony is THE man who put the early Kawasaki Triples on the map with a small truckload of dragracing records. And it doesn't hurt that he's a hell of a nice guy and is still a legend in the Triples and 2 stroke community. There seems to be a bias against dragracers getting in. I just got off the phone with Tony and he said that he'd love to be the guy that breaks the ice for more of them. And I couldn't agree more.

So if you've got a few minutes head over to the Kawasaki Triples board and go to this thread http://kawasakitriplesworldwide.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58674 and follow the instructions on the very first post by JaaMoo.

When commenting pleas don't just say "I vote for Tony" That's not what they need to see. Just put something down like (but not exactly please):
I think Tony Nicoscia is a credit to the sport of motorcycling and would make a fine Hall of Fame recipient.His accomplishments speak for themselves, his skills as a rider are legendary, an he is always willing to help anyone interested in the sport of motorcycling.I can't believe he's not a HOF member already...


I really appreciate it and I know for a fact that Tony does too.

Here is the man himself "back in the day" lighting it up!

Question for the folks using Google Reader

I had someone ask tonight about posts not showing up in Google reader.  Is anyone else having problems with anything along these lines?  Said that: he can't see the2-stroke feed in Google Reader.  Subscribed to all posts, the feed shows no new posts after 2009. 

Anyone have a similar issue?

Thanks!

By the way...

Best month yet!  Thanks for stopping by!

Quick mesage...

Since changing my welcome message to include a request for pics I've had a mild flood of pictures.  Please don't think I'm  ignoring anyone it's just going to take a bit to get it all sorted out.  Some really great stuff will be on the way shortly. 

Please stay tuned.  And Thanks Much to Everyone!

A couple of great new blogs...

A couple of new absoluly MUST READ bloggers have come to my attention. The first is Mike 'Stu' Stuhler who commented over on my 2-stroke blog. He runs Stusshots. To quote his profile he's "Fan of all racing, but the bikes are what makes the adrenaline flow and the rush set in."

While drooling over some of his work I tripped across a friend of his. Make sure to stop by and visit Larry Lawrence at The Rider Files for some fantastic photography and more importantly, the stories that go with the pictures.

I've been doing some serious wrenching on my Project -X so ther'll be some updates there later and I'll have more on both blogs later today!

Peace.
