Ken,
Glad to hear that your loop stood up to the other bikes. I'm planning
on riding one of my loops out to Grattan in June to watch the races so
I'll be there to cheer you on. I've got a bunch of tools at my place in
Detroit so if you need anything last minute give me a shout on my cell
phone 313-283-9968. I've been working on building up a Honda CB350 to
race in AHRMA events but I don't have any experience with it yet.
See you in June...

Just a quick note that our beloved Loops are quite capable machines. A friend of mine talked me into joining him at a US Desmo run track day at Robeling Road Raceway this past Monday. I was a little concerned about running the old bike along side modern Ducatis, Triumphs & a few Japanese bikes thrown in. I have never had the opportunity to run the bike along side modern bikes, so I had no idea how it would compare. I'm very happy to report the Guzzi not only held its own but put on quite a showing. I was grinning from ear to ear as I was able to pass Ducati Monsters, 748s, 999s, Triumphs Speed Triples, etc.... In there defense, these were not racers, most were street bikes but all the riders in our group had track experience. I'm looking forward to my first race of the year, at Grattan Raceway in June.
