the Handbuilt show was great, got to see the first of the flat track qualifiers on a really short flat track, and the show inside the Fair Market was great, some really interesting bikes including being able to check out the RSD RD400 in a TZ chassis bike that I've always loved

Good to hook up with y'all

COTA has awesome run off though so no deal.

Pretty amazing that Moto 2 is about as fast as MA superbikes.
