Racing...

Well here we go again. We are packing up to go down to Mosport for the Vintage Motorcycle Festival. My husband has been frantically trying to build an 82ish RD350 and he is running out of time. All year he has been borrowing race bikes. Now that there is a possibility of having his own, he is excited and stressed. The frame he picked up from a kid at a gas station and the engine he bought from a motorcycle mechanic in Gatineau, PQ.

I keep pondering the possibility of attending RACE school next year at Shannonville, but, having not been on my own motorcycle yet this year, I am afraid I do not have enough road time.

Our five year old daughter is getting quite comfortable on her minimoto and was probably the most photographed thing at the last Canada Cup series at Mosport. It is a replica RC51 and everyone got quite the kick out of her. She had even memorized my speach about the bike and I could see her (from our pit) stopping to answer questions about her bike. She would tell them it weighed about 35 lbs, went 10 miles per hour with her on it, has an 18volt rechargeable battery that lasts about an hour and that it could hold up to 175lbs. Then she would get off the bike and offer whomever the opportunity to sit on it. What a kid! If Cycle Canada does not publish any pictures of her, I'll be surprised!

My husband, not to be outdone, ordered a pocket bike from e-bay. He has already gone through 1 chain when he took it with him to St. Estache earlier this month. Now we all have pit bikes (I am using Lina's Honda50 until she can reach the ground on it).
