Dropped in to say hi, been a long time and just looked in the other day.

Thanks guys, nope on the board track takes to much lumber, I`ve had it up to 25 mph on sod which seems fast on a bicycle.

Pitchy, my friend, it is just so darned good to see you here. I absolutely love that board track racer, and never would have thought of hanging a Wisconsin on a bike frame. My last Wisconsin was a 9-horse -- on a Gibson Tractor.

Really great to see you back here again, hope you plan on hanging around for a while. I was going to suggest you tell us about your steam boats till I saw the board track racer. Without reading I would have thought it was a vintage machine. If you find the time I would love to hear all about it.
