General Two Stroke Talk / Practice Track Diaries The Wick 338 04/06/2019

To say that I like the wick would be an understatement. I fashion myself of Dutch descent with the sand mastery skills of the greats Herlings, DeRouver, Strijbos, Van Der Ven and Van Den Berk. In reality, Im just a nutmegger of English and French Canadian descent with no skills mastered or speed for that matter. I do get around alright despite this and I'm sure I feel the same as the aforementioned, ask me, I'll tell ya its true.
I was supposed to meet up with my southern crew, you know the guys from longed Island, but there was rain predicted the night before, not much, but enough to scare those rebels away.
The track was actually perfect KJ and crew did a masterful job prepping the circuit for some good 'ol OP. The Southerners missed out. When the rebel yell, she cried " NO NO MORE, NO NO MORE!" Any way after last years rain debacles here you cant blame them.
So with not much fanfare I rode well, gaining back much of the technique I lost over the winta months. What has been most surprising is what the six months of diet and physical training has done for me on the bike. There's something about being 180 lbs as opposed to 225 lbs on a 125cc. The only draw back is I am out riding the stock suspension on the 1990 CR. Had some oh shit moments because of it LOL.
To give testimony to my new found condition and ability, at about 2 pm and my final session of the day (5th for those counting) I chased down and passed a vet expert on his new 450. This light a fire under him and he went back around, but I dogged him till the end of session. Last year this never would have happened, jeez the past 15 years this wouldn't have happened! LOL. well it was fun and in two weeks I do it again at Central Village Cycle Club, Yup that place I swore I would never return to. till next time!

I write this in memory of our Brethren Coop, God rest your soul, you are missed.
So a lot has changed for me these past 6 months or so. First and foremost my wife of the last 13 years (5 years together prior) decided to dissolve our marriage. I have found faith in God. I quit drinking as a comfort. I lost desire to ride. I started a strict diet and exercise program. I decided to rebuild the Katoom yet again, only to put her and my 93 CR on the market. I lost 45 LBS. Ive been growing my hair long. I have written many poems and have been writing songs and learning covers with my band mates in Burliegh's Men. I changed my TSM handle. I met somebody who showed me I can live again and most importantly I regained my desire to ride once more!
So with the cold snap all but over here in New England, my fitness at a whole new level (not seen in twenty years) and the weather looking great for the first OP at the wick, I got my shit together and prepared to surf some sand.
My brothers Angelo and Nick from the Island, that's long Island to you not from these parts, and Brian were making the trek up north and bringing along some others to join the fracas.
Well to say I was up for the first session would be an understatement and felt good from first crack of the throttle. The track was over all really good. Three sections were going to be a mess so I decided to cut these out in the remaining sessions.
The other Islanders that were in the Group were capable riders one i particular stood out, not because he was on a bitchin Husky 250, but because he is a fearless rippa and a typical New York asshole. Gabby (Gabe) as they call him in the inner circles of New Yorkdom is an old pro from yesta year when men were men and Stubbys chick was horny. Well, in one particular session i realized what true mad man Gabby is. I tend to yell at people on the track, for various reasons usually cause they are spodes and in my way. Well i come upon a fallen Gabby in some lonesome berm making dirt angles and decide to rouse him a bit, bad idea. This antic of mine turned a not so mild mannered Gabby into a man hell bent on one thing, my demise. That's just what happened shortly after Gabby hit the afterburners and caught me. A bit of cat and mouse ensued and then it happened, Gabby punted me off the track. It was nothing really, I got spooked by the guy riding up the back of my leg, lost control and tipped over. Totally unintentional.
Back in the pits we all gathered about to reflect on what just happened. Angelo saw the whole thing and was telling the rest of the story to Gabby as to who I was pissed and gesturing at Gabby as he motoed away lol. Gabby thought this the greatest thing and after me earlier teaching him what a spode was, asked if this mad him a spode, to which I replied " no, just an asshole".
This made such an impression on him that he made me honorary Connecticut Chapter president of MIRA ( Mentally Ill riders of America). I wear this honor proudly.
The rest of the day was a blast and we will do it again this weekend. Cant wait
