Hey Ya'll
I got to go ride a snow bike yesterday and it was
a blast!
It was way more fun than I expected.  I rode a
2moto on a 525 KTM, we rode up some pretty
good hills and down really steep stuff in
deep powder.  So, now I want one!

Also I got to watch Scott Walenburg's band
at a place called Terrapin Station.  Scott
is the publisher of Racer X and there are
usually some dirt bike guys in the crowd.
I met a couple of new friends and they offered to
let me ride their bikes at the upcoming Vintage
Inter Am race coming up at the end of March in
Boise.  Yes, they had been drinking and they
had never heard of me or my reputation for
destroying bikes....  So we won't be friends
very long, but I should have a good story to tell!
Scott's band ROCKS, it was great, I don't get
much music here in SE Idaho, unless I want to
hop on a beet truck and go see the Chior.
And I mean BEET, not BEAT, BEAT would
be good, but we have trucks loaded with sugar
beets running the highways now and the Chior
I speak of is in Salt Lake.  So Scotts
band ROCKS!!!  Alman Brothers, Grateful
Dead, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn plus
dirt bike guys full of beer, what a good time!
Now back in New Hampshire, Clipper boarded a
train with his girl named Jo...???? and went
to down town New York City.  Here they got
their room at the Penn Hotel, which I'll
bet was pretty swank.  Then Monday night, they
 met up with friend of the magazine,
Brad Tegarten from MPC KTM in Roseville CA
and they all went to the Steve Winwood Eric
Clapton concert at Madison Square Gardens.
Doesn't that sound cool?  I'm trying to be
happy for him, but ship, it ain't easy!
I'll bet it was a good show and a good time.
So here are some links for you to look at
while I dream up some new news.  You may have
to cut and paste cause I'm an idiot.

That's all I have for now, keep those cards and letters coming.

    Yes I watched the video and now I want one ! My birthday is right around the corner, so I can’t wait. I noticed the photo, a Dan Leanard original, sweet, same as the previous post. If its not to much to ask, can I have a 525 with my new snow kit?
