After years of dragging Blackie around the country I outfitted her with new tank/side covers in Euro flavoring thus Euro Blackie.
Last weekend she took the checkered flag at the I-76 Speedway Hooligan class. It's a flat track and basically set up for cars but some us run street bikes on it just to be idiots. I put on a new set of Shinko Trail Master Dual Sports and they handled great.

The bikes in the race this time:
-XZ550
-HD Panhead
-KZ750
-CB360T
-2010 BMW 1100RT
-Ninja 250

Most of the bikes got lapped by the XZ 2-3 times in the 12 lap race. 2nd place was about 1/2 lap back.




Apparently the 2nd place guy usually wins with a decisive lead so he'll be gunning for me next time.

That's awesome, thanks for posting!  :) How long is the track BTW    So what was the 2nd place guy riding?

He had a CB360T. I believe the track is 3/8th mile.

I think he is working on getting his KZ400 back together. He's apparently a great rider but the XZ is a bit much for the small bores.
