Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories.
Seems a lifetime since yesterday.
Come the daybreak, come the morrow,
that woman's waited up all night for me again.

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.

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.
