Yeah, nothing like flat track. This one will be indoors, which is like droping a coin on the floor and racing around it. A bit more like this. also known as short track, for good reason.

Got to the show and ran into Honorato on his 750 Sport, right next to an unbelievably stock and pristine 750 Sport. We toured the show and later found the owner, Kevin, who lives in Marin. While talking to him, another gentleman showed up and said that he had two of them in his garage. We had 4 Sport owners standing around Kevin's pristine 750 sport talking about the bike, this site, and life in general. We had 3 Sports in one place, and we think we might be able to get up to 10 together in one place. We all know of at least one other owner in the bay area. We are going to try and get a meet-up later this summer. Any suggestions for a weekend to meet up?

We should get a few more members on this site soon.

Sorry, no pics. Raced out the door in the morning and forgot the phone and camera.

Cheers,

How to convert a normal commercial bike to a dirt bike? This does sound a very broad question but I just need some initial guidelines on making a dirt bike out of a normal bike (125-150 cc). Materials? Total cost? Reliability?
