Honda 160 with Cozy sidecar

Weakly Rider with new side kickAfter much effort we now have an operational sidecar. Eventually the sidecar will go onto a 1968 Honda 175 but for now it is fun to ride around.

All American F160 Super Cheetah Bike Hoopla at Pat’s Acres—THANK YOU!!!

For those of you that missed out on the weekends fesivities, you blew it BIG TIME!

Bradford threw the all time 160 party at Pat’s Acres. And it was GREAT! I heard several of the riders present comment that they had never had more fun on a motorcycle in their lives…

For starters, the track was a treacherous piece of work. Tight, slick, and nasty, with a liberal dose of dry sweep in a few corners. A fast lap was a real challenge. Supermoto on your knees was the order of the day. Slippin’ and slidin’, backin’ it in…I rode until I couldn’t ride no more. Then I threw my bike down in a successful effort not to punt another rider. Bobby would have been proud!

Chef Bradfords grub was world class, and we all ate till we were blimped out. Then we sat around and told lies, just like in Spokanistan. Sarah and Michelle got to put in a bunch of laps on their street bikes. And the neighbors even put on an impressive fireworks display for us.

I sure hope this becomes an annual event. It was WAY too much fun. Thanks again to Bradford and crew and the great folks at Pat’s Acres for hosting us. And special thanks to Bret for the 4 hour masterpiece repair to my fairing after I threw it onto the track!
