Thanks,Dangerous 13. You're absolutely right. Second is sweet. Plenty of fast guys out there, and that helps the ego, to focus on the positive. That girl really humbled some guys. Its like a 30' Gap and coming up short means a ride in the white bus at Goshen.
 Here's a Link to the POLO Hillclimb. Again the Helmet Cam makes it look easier than it is, but I got a couple minutes with my video camera to show a little better perspective. Next stop is Radio Shack for some Batteries that last.

I forgot to mention that there were 4 or 5 Triples at the race. They are 750cc, 3 cylinder 2-stroke engines that were originally mounted in a Street Bike Chasis. They were called H2's and were produced in the 70's. Imagine having three 250 motors on one bike. They had three carbs to jet, (strangely enough with no reeds) three plugs to change and three exhaust pipes. The original pipes of course are a no-go. That along with modifying a 250 chasis, makes for some really neat custom fabrication. There are some other one off bikes on these vids, they all rode in the 750 class that I had footage of. There is also an Open Class with more custom bikes, but have nothing to show you from that Class.
