Bike of the Month.

Looking down the track they are a little off to the right. Byron is an old track. Looks sorta scary if you take a close look at it. Lots of cracks and missing chunks of asphalt in places but it hooks good and I've never had a problem. Usually go up for the weekend foar the 2 Wheel Speed races about two-three times a year. No lights and they have a curfew so no racing usually after about 6-7 pm. Makes for a nice weekend if you have the time.

There is a road we took that brings you with in a few hundred feet of them, I would have stopped and taken a close up but you would not have known what it was, they are huge close up.
We just missed the TT races in Peoria IL, someone told me they were in September :pinch:
I will do some research on the two wheel events in Byron, that would be a cool day if we left for home by 6 or 7, there are a lot of deer between there and here :whistle:

This may have been brought up at some point before but has anyone thought of taking all the bikes from the previous year's BOTM and putting them in a calendar or something as a fundraiser for the site? I just looked though them all and I thought it'd be a cool thing to have for the house in addition to helping keep all the good info on the site.
