Couple of pics from this morning.

[zxfan]

Took the KTM up to the usual bike gathering this morning.

A Water Buffalo showed up.


Then local guy Johnny Bohmer shows up driving his 2006 Ford GT that he recently set the world's fastest street car record with at 310.8 mph.










And finally one gratuitous photo of the KTM sporting it's new Ohlins.


It's always interesting showing up there on a Sunday morning.

You never know what will turn up.

Cops there too! Where do they have it at? And how do you find out aboot these things.

 

[roadczar]

Badass GT.

 

[zxfan]

The cop was a non issue.

Don't even know why he bothered showing up.

Pratt Whitney is right around the corner and this gas station has been a hang out for their employees for as long as I can remember.

Bike guys have been doing a Sunday meet there since the 90's.

I wonder if he has to safety wire those rear hood pins in place on a run so that they don't blow out. Looks like the cable wraps on 'em have seen some wind!

Love the student driver sticker.

Cop: "sir I clocked you at 310.8 miles an hour, why were you going that speed?"
Driver: " That was all it had."

The pins are installed backwards.
The head of such hardware needs to be facing the direction of flight!

Out by the olde Moroso track?

Out by the olde Moroso track?

Yes.

You've probably passed by that gas station numerous times while pursuing your racing career.

Is it all built up around there now? It used to be in the sticks.

The heavy industrial and large warehouse usage is now almost to the track property.

Another mega distribution type building going up now a little east of the track.

The track property will eventually find a buyer and what was once a really nice racing facility will be nothing
more than a footnote in Palm Beach County history.

 

[NORTY]

Like what is happening at California Speedway....

As happened to Ontario Speedway

or Carlsbad Raceway

or Riverside International Raceway...

They built a huge Amazon distribution center in town. It looks to be finished. But nothing is happening there. Maybe they are thinking twice aboot it.

Had a '75(?) GT550 Ram Air in the early 80s. Ran strong once we eliminated the oil inject.

I bet you spent 10 minutes trying to start the waste bin before you realised it wasn't your bike...

I have to admit that was funny.

Never stop being you Lucky.
