                                                          Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories.
                                                                         Seems a lifetime since yesterday.

I'm no old guy, but I haven't raced in a few years. Would I be eligible to race on my JMC without having to buy a full membership?

I've got at least 4-6 from Marietta Ohio/ Parkersburg WV coming.  Don't know the tally on how many bikes we'll bring though.


Looking for a Kuwahara "Hopper" frame sticker kit.  If you have one please message me.

I plan on being there and racing my JMC. I'll likely bring a trunk full of crap for the swap meet as well.

Change of plans. I'm not racing, but I'll be there with stuff to sell. I don't have everything to put my JMC together how I want it, so I'd rather not build it yet.
