My Kawi 650 Limited.
I believe this was a race in Huntington WV on the Ohio River.
Must have been around 1987 or maybe 88

Was that a national at Huntington? I spent some time on a friend's racing 650 but I never was comfortable on it, motor was ok but I just couldn't get with the handling. River racing was definitely different.

The new shaped skis make it easier than ever to ski on a slalom, but the getting out of the water isn't as easy as it used to be.

Who would have tought that just getting out of the water would become an accomplishment once more?

Yep - I think so.
It was a big deal I do recall .... with all the Stars there.

For sure - the 650 didn't handle like the 440/550's. Was a Big Boy.

Yes, for me as well...the river current added another dimension to the racing. And the stuff floating past .....

Racing downtown Columbus I came out of the river with tar streaks up the back of both legs, at Wheeling there were real log jumps moving down the back straight and at Ravenswood I came out of the Ohio smelling like my xray processor tanks.

I am intrigued - and no, not by the men straddling the giant phallus shaped tube:eek:.

How do you hijack a topic named "man, you guys are boring"? What does it mean to be on topic on this one? Seems like an invitation to not be boring and breathe some enthusiasm during the annual summer post lull. 22 pages of responses and 14,000 views in a little over a month means somebody is not bored with the thread. Its one of the topics I find myself reading to see what's up.

After suffering endless posts about motocross being dead, deader, or deadest, sandbaggers, Toesmac's stupidity, or Dungey's lack of will to win, this has been fun and even clever at times.

Keep up the good work.
