The swap meet at Wauseon was awesome this year. I scored a set of tanks for my 39 EL and a pair of racing top ends. There was Barn Freshness everywhere! The boys from Kansas brought a bunch of bikes and parts that haven't seen daylight in 50 years or more. Check out the pics.

More coming...

God Damn the Pusher Man...at least that is what Pat Murphy (the previous reigning champ of the board track class) is thinking! Carl AKA Big Jesus of Pusher Man Racing takes the #1 spot in Wauseon on his latest creation...The Bottle Rocket! When the dust cleared it was Carl Up front. When I asked Pat what happened he graciously stated, "He Kicked My Ass!"

More Wauseon Photos to come, including Hand Shift Class and the swap meet...

Wauseon Racing! A wild scene in the HandShift Class!

What excitement at the races this year! We were lined up for the main event it was Hotter then Hell out there. We were all at the starting line ready for the starter to hit the green light, out of the corner of my eye I noticed something was not right. The Indian a couple bikes over to my left burst into flame! Now I have seen bikes catch fire. It's happened to me at least three times. But not like this. That thing was engulfed with the rider still on board! Finally he jumped off and let the bike drop. His arm was on fire too but he got his leather off and turned out to be OK. I think he did a stop drop and roll...

A group of us at the starting line took off around the track to get out of the way. We came around slow to see the bike still blazing! Water is NO GOOD for a gas fire! We went by and came around again on I think the third pass the flames were out but there was cops dragging a guy off the track from what I could see and some kind of melee going on. I couldn't tell what was happening.

After another lap they set us up on the starting line and we raced while folks frantically covered the wet mess were the Indian was with dirt. Man what a night!

My son Jesse got these pictures.

But that was not all. Apparently the announcer (who was from ESPN 2 and first time at Wauseon) decided to poke some fun at the situation and say to a grandstand full of bikers..."You are really getting your $15 worth tonight aren't you?" (something like that). What a Smacked Ass he was!!!

Well my son said the crowd went berserk and started booing the announcer throwing stuff and several guys jumped the wall and went after the guy! That is what I saw when I came around and saw the cop dragging a guy off the track! Apparently one of the guys that made it over was the builder of the bike!

Nice way to enrage a crowd of Antique Motorcycle people!

I have a bunch more pictures of the races and the meet with a ton of cool bikes I will post later.

I wonder if that announcer will be back next year?

Off to the Scrap yard...

I wonder what kind of tractor parts these are?
