Pete was a fast cool dude... :thumbup
Looks like he is still a cool dude.ort
Say hey to him from the budman!
Actually, you know who was really cool, was Grandma Francis! How did I forget her, bring'in cold cuts, bread, gummi bears, cookies, and drinks for all the racers. (Even Joe Brett Williams!) :rofl

Yo Budman,:cool

I relayed the message, and Pete remembered you from the track. But it took him a little while because back in the day, I was the Budman. And we ain't talk'in beer neither :cool
You wouldn't believe it, Pete's been living down near Fresno (If you want to all that living?) for about 10 years now, and when he came up Thursday, we go to this Mexican Joint in Santa Rosa, and run into Mark McDaniel of all people! What are the odds of that? Mark had his little boy-child with him, and they looked so much alike it was scary. Even for me! (Can you hear the banjos?)
Pete still rips, he rides a '01 K12RS and carries corner speed like on his old TZ!
I'll go and type some drivel in the Cruising/Touring section...

I miss, Frank The Maz. I took his trophies up Sears, he came down and stole mine due south.
That rag editor #20 hung me up and look at that gap I had to make up. I yelled at him then to get his ass moving. Honey Badger coming thru!

Look ma, no kneepucks!
Every NMP's special device Dave.. :laughing
Young folks.. knee pucks were ductape.. or leather.. because nobody made them..!
Toe sliders, belly pans, back protectors, etc.. all good stuff that was not around a few decades ago.. times change.
For motorcycle racers and safety that changed... has been very good..!

Exactly, about 40 layers of duct-tape made it just right. About 1" thick, & thick-enough so one race wouldn't ruin the "puck." You could just tape over the previous race's "wear." :teeth
