More Davenport shots . . .

It was a hot one this year at Davenport . . . however it didn't stop Willard from runnin' the dual-engine around the grounds. Great to see Wiley & Co., Rattlecan & Co., Hippy & Co., Matt & Co., Heavy & Co., Geltz, Toby & Steve . . . DA & Cyn (that's her '72 she's wrenchin' on) She picked it up this Summer . . . and it's never been apart - runs like a top ! It was great to hook up again and here what's been goin' on in this world. Hope everyone has a good Fall . . . and see you soon ! -Noot Jr.

Team Hawbaker

Jeff has 3 big wins himself at Davenport. He kinda moved into a new roll the last two seasons by bringin' in some top riders - and giving them the opportunity to run some top-notch equipment. Bake's riders are always smiling at the end of the night . . . since 9 times out of 10, they're on the podium !
Good job fellas - nice to meet ya'll !

Joe Kopp is still fast . . .

As everyone kinda expected - Kopp won. They even started him dead last and he came threw the pack and checked out. He had a fast bike - but, a professional rider is always in a league of their own. There was nothing more for him to achieve - maybe sign some autographs? Joe Kopp has always been first class in my book of racing heros. He's won the dirt TT, short track, 1/2 miles, Miles, cushions and grooves. One of the smartest and most dedicated racers to ever throw their leg over a motorcycle . . . and he did it all from the state of Washington - so, he had to drive for at least for 2 days to get to most of the races. Thanks Joe for showin' up at our Iowa track !

Davenport, Iowa 2013

I see Harlow has "The Seat" now . . .

a famous seat from old-time Vegas chopper days . . .

This Sportster and it's hard-core rider came from Chicago . . . On I-80 . . .

WITH A 20T TRANNY SPROCKET ! Cool !

Joe Kopp racing Davenport 1/2 Mile . . .

Rumor has it, Kopp will ride Gibson's Triumph. I've seen it go.

It's very fast.

Geo Roeder will be there to challenge him . . .

Friday Nite - Under the Lights !

See you in the pits . . .

Party after at the East Bath-House . . .

See celebrities . . . from all the magazines . .!

See Jeremiah ride wheelies and almost hit stuff !

Keyway

That grind is for precise key placement.

It can't go on too far.

I always wondered why they did that . . ?

Born in a small town . . .

Admission to our local Floyd County Museum was free last Saturday . . . I went and checked it out. I hadn't been in there in 20 years. Charles City has a famous history. Hometown of Hart-Parr, Oliver and White tractors, Salisbury Labs, Carrie Chapman Catt, George Nelson, Vive Lindaman, Wimpy Winther, Paul Riordan . . . and the 1968 F5 Tornado that ripped apart the town. It's nice some people saved this stuff over all these years for everyone to enjoy. To remember your past is certain to fulfill your future.

Baker Kicker Gearset

The Baker kicker gears have a polished and smooth surface. For the record, fitment of parts was excellent.
High quality stuff . . . and worth the money I've heard. I won the gift certificate from Baker which was given away at the The Horse Magazine Show at Sturgis - and I'd like to thank the folks at Baker Drivetrain for participating and giving away a nice prize ! When all assembled - it kicks smooth and I can't wait to try them out . . . kick after kick after kick . . .
