Usual suspect Randy Black is up to his old monkey business: the business of taking old trials bikes and turning them into absolute gems. In this case, the '84 Honda TLR 250 Reflex was a complete restoration from a chassis he got from Danny Bishop. The 1964 Triumph Mountain Cub T20M was a "find" somewhere in Kansas. Randy always could spot the good ones! Enjoy this trip down immaculate vintage motorcycle lane. Note the immaculate garage...

Michael Dennis Blom left us 21 September 2009 as a result of Mantle Cell Lymphoma. On the left is Simon Beglar, his old friend from New York and fellow moto ref. This was his last ride with Simon, Stefan Yencha, and Dirk (whose last name escapes me). This was a day of grace before the cancer overcame him.

Some of you may remember that a few weeks back I solicited volunteers to have photos made to go on motorcycle safety advertisements. One chosen was of Cheryl and Josh, mother and son, as pictured here

Larry Segeleon points out, correctly, that the Pittsburgh guys who ride in the rain have nothing on we bicycle race moto refs and marshals. The scene here is the moto pit prior to the 2007 US Open Bicycle Race. Yes, that's freezing rain on the trees. The weather was so bad, the TV helo couldn't take off. CRAB Steve Whetstone's bike is the yellow GS in the foreground. At least the bicycle riders had physical exertion to keep THEM warm.
The race was Williamsburg to Richmond, but they stayed in Richmond and transferred to W-burg that morning. During the ride from Richmond to W-burg, there were cars spun out on the interstate and into the median. Apparently the trip to W-burg on the motos was very interesting. They all made it just fine, thanks, because they're hard men and skilled. The race went on.
