I forgot to mention that I worked in racing for at least a decade before going into the trades. I worked in the shop and as a pit crew. I worked for a F5000 team and 2 different drag racers, Mickey Thompson being one. I fabricated some, most with fiberglass. I worked at the shop that built the Ford J car body that Ken Miles was killed in. I worked in a motorcycle shop too, and we had both flat track and RR riders. I didn't have the experience on bikes but I rode hard on the street on a cafe racer and in the dirt with a dirt bike. Funny, I enjoyed going round and round locked up like speedway on the dirt way more than I did hauling ass over unseen terrain. Didn't care for jumps at all. I made an early version of the skid pad to ride sideways on concrete lap after lap. Busted my ass many times but never broke anything but the bike.
Give me 4 wheels.
