I won my class at the AHRMA Hannagen trials but placed poorly in the Classic 250cc class. Dana put on a hell of a difficult trials but dang it was fun. Lots of up and down off camber sections all in amongst the trees of the Pacific NW. My Bultaco MX bike ran perfectly all day but after being passed by a BSA and two horrible Greeves motorcycles I have say my Sherpa S was out gunned on the terrifically fast Hannagen track. Wide open in top gear on the back section of the track. Outrageous fun!

Hopefully AHRMA NW will have a few pics from the MX before to long.

Very cool!  Looks like Barry did a really awesome job navigating those trails.  I'm not real familiar with how the scoring goes but to me it looked like he may have gotten a perfect score on that run?  Thanks for sharing!

I think he did zero except for one 5. He is riding a Yamaha TY175cc. I hate them. The little TY is highly regarded but dang they are little tiny motorcycles designed for small people and they sound worn out even when new. Nasty!

Enfield is back on the work bench, left foot peg fabricated and new 13” rear shocks fitted. Getting the motorcycle off the ground and on the work bench was a major motivator for me as its so much easier to work on. My body revolts if I spend to much time on my haunches or sitting on the hard concrete floor.

Slow progress but I have the rear brake figured out and the seat mount is almost done. After the Isle of Vashon TT we are taking off for Charlotte NC and riding the blue ridge parkway area for 10 days.

So after the most motorcycle filled month of my adult life I am back home and glad to be here. A VME ride from Eatonville to Stevenson of over 300 miles (on my 175 Bultaco), then the VME held the 31st annual Isle of Vashon TT and had over 900 riders enter the poker run then my wife and I hopped on a jet airplane and flew to Charlotte NC and rented a 2013 Harley Davidson Electra Glide and roared up and down the Blue Ridge Parkway for 10 days and now we are home. I had a few days of free time after North Carolina and devoted about 8 hours to the Enfield trials motorcycle. I guess only another 1000 hours or so until the thing is complete! OK so I am exaggerating. The Motorcycle is really close to having all the fabrication done then it all comes apart for paint.

Oh my 6000 views! I am enjoying working on my Enfield and cant wait until I have it ready for competition. I have also been admiring the new Royal Enfield Café Racer. The 360 view shot at the ACE is world class photography check it out.

I am extremely anxious to get the Enfield project completed as the 2014 season is fast approaching. Its amazing how much free time it takes to do up a project like this.  I wish I had enough dough to retire and ride full time. Its my fondest desire....
