Yamaha Accessories division…. – it didn’t do my old buddy Ed H. any harm!!!

Beyond belief story blog….last time I drove the BC mountains was in about 1973 +/- on Yamaha’s latest model – what’s with those sink holes…. The new stuff you talk about is wild.

If I can regress

June 10th Blog
Interesting stuff –watched a program describing Ferrari and other large companies marketing – one was the YouTube video on launching a car to the US form Europe off a ramp… BMW did that one with great success. Attention grabber – very new concept.

The vamx bike – when you snap the throttle on FI at mid range – it makes power over and above the map – chip control? Do you have a link on how that works – I don’t get it?

Sudbury – haven’t been there since it used to look like the moon –wonder if John Jorwaski is still kicking around?

May 8 Blog
Didn’t you guys put a bunch of those cancelled sleds in storage in Toronto?

A year or two after that …..one of the engines showed up in midget race car – at my old race mechanics place. The engine was acquired and put in by a race performance guy (deceased -at a young age) and Bill fixed it up a bit with more parts the dude brought along. It ran strong – he was usually top 5. Think it led for awhile at the indoor in NY.

May 1st – Blog
Then the King invented Circle M–uggg.
SRX –2002 SRX 700 would be nice to own

April 8 Blog
If it ever stops raining – maybe you can get your talented daughter on a board– she got the skis pretty dialled last year – by your reports.

The old Enticer – ay –who would have thought – nothing could ever stop em – back in the day or today looks like.

That Merc sled, at the vintage snox race, made us old racers look like slugs – he should have lapped the field twice. My late friends, Bud and Danny, would have turned over in their graves if that saw that.

You are welcome for the butt kicking, glad to hear that you plan on blogging as long as you can, because as far as I can tell, us Yamaha riders are as dedicated to the sport as anyone. Keep up the good work, but when are you going to finish the SRX story? Just when you got me pulled in and how the Viper fits in with the story, you give us 4 non related entries. Spill the beans, I’m ready!!!!

Great to see another post CR. Your definitly right about the season. I can feel fall in the air each morning as I head to work. Lucky I have my shocks rebuilt and ready to go but a new phazer will be hard to resist once the white stuff starts falling. Keep up the good work.

You´re back! Great! Never missed a blog writing by you. Always some new and interesting stuff here.

Mornings are becoming chilly here (well, I live over 130 km north from the Arctic Circle though..)

Isn´t that Blair Morgan in his motorcross uniform in that pic? Not too many “red tops” like him in those events. LOL

Yep.. Thats Blair, I always smile when I see him and Tucker in their Yamaha jerseys during the off-season!! cheers cr

We’ve missed you Chris, we still hope for a great snowmobiling tale once in a while, but I’ll always be here. Oh I ride sport bikes too, so I’m interested in everything you’ve got.
