I’ve not been to Mid Ohio, but this was 80,000 people pre-covid. It’s not back up to speed. Many commercial entities have not returned. Ace Corner has not returned.
Barber for sure.All you folks that are there at Barber....which do you like better, Barber or Mid-Ohio AMA Days?
A funny thing happened after i had loaded the XS1B in the van to head home.
Pardon my ignorance, but who is that?
Doing "The Dragon" on weekends is a pain in the butt. Far too many folks who think they are just one YouTube video away from a professional racing career.Barber..... the swap was mostly metric, not much for the Brit boys, or the Euro fellows and very few Harley bits. There was a stunning 77' D model... in Maxi Maroon.... ask'n $5500.oo with upgrades you couldn't buy one and get it in that condition for the price. I only saw one Xs on the museum floor.... which was the case from my other visits over the years. I thought there would be at least a first-year model and a Special on site by now. They had several Cb 450's on display. The VJMC hosted a well attended event and on hand was a stunning 1970 Xs1. My buddy and I headed out saturday morning for Deals Gap and the " Tail of the Dragon ". 318 curves in 11 miles. Upon arrival it was utter insanity ! " Turners " (mostly Japanese cars) almost bumper to bumper.... mixed in with the Porsche 928 club, Vett's, Mcclearn's... and motorcycles. I decided to do my ride in the morning. I now hold the record for VW theme scooters in high-speed corners, qtr mile speed and lean angle. I did not ride the compete course since I didn't need a Hayabusa enema. We stopped on the way home in central Tenn. to check out a pair of 1930's Moto Guzzi's .... video on those later.

Yes, I’ll be at the VJMC Show Friday and SaturdayOk kiddies..... anyone heading to Barber ? Myself and an old army buddy are get'n our act together. Prepping the trailer.... camp'n gear. Got our tickets and camp'n permits. I've done Barber about 4-5 times, and this is the 2nd time I've done it with the army buddy. He hopes to be on his 34' Moto Guzzi.... I'm not sure on what I'll trailer. I heard they added to the building and the swap meet has gone gonzo.
