Here's my 89 Wing. I'm the 3rd owner, 1st owner had until 2014, the 2nd owner had it until I bought it April of 2016 as it had been in his barn for a year as he had carpal tunnel surgery and could not hold it up. It has 121k miles on it and she's pushing 153k now. I didn't get to ride it much last year due to back injuries early in 2020 then it was down trying to find the vacuum leaks for most of last year. Got the vacuum leaks fixed this last March and now she's running good. I ride rain or shine and will be riding until the snow falls or it gets into the 20° weather.

Had a race weekend this past weekend. Practice on Friday then raced Saturday and Sunday. I was signed up for 19 races but a fried clutch took me out of 3 races on Saturday (one to notice the problem and 2 to get it replaced), and I did 10 races yesterday. Also had my front brake master cylinder fail on me on Friday (don't know how I didn't crash) so I had to replace that too. No wins but podiumed in over half of my races and I did have my GoPro on for Friday, Saturday and one race on Sunday. I should have the videos uploaded to YouTube sometime this week if anyone is interested to see them.
There was one bad crash this weekend (not me and not in any of the races I was in) that they had to call LifeFlight out for. The injured rider is busted up quite a bit but will make a full recovery. This is the second weekend in a row that a helicopter has had to transport an injured rider to the hospital. In 6 years, I've seen a helicopter called out 7 times now. Not a safe sport but it'll have to kill me to get me to stop.
Track and motorcycle season is over for me. Ended with a championship win and third place in three other championships. A lot of tires used and no crashes but more than a few very close calls. My business partner with the tire business was ejected from his bike this past Saturday due to a mechanical failure. I sold two of my bikes last week and now I am looking at another racebike to compliment my current one. A friend at the track let me take his Ducati V4 out yesterday and the bike is absolutely incredible and now I want one. Got to save my pennies cause that'll be a $30k investment.
