Obviousy did not turn out in my favor...:rofl_200:
Really nice guy and still can ride!

Very cool. Just being able to say you lined up against the man would be accomplishment enough for most of us here

Congratulations.

If your talking to me tell him I start working on it in the fall. I have it in my head just gonna try to hook up with some GenII guys over the summer to use as sounding boards for my ideas. But It will be as innovative as the original MAXGASSER.

How small is Jay? 5'7" 150?

 

[jbretthorton]

One of the passes (when I had a good 60'er) Jay and I where just about neck and neck through maybe 400' I missed a shift and there he went... gone....
We got back to the staging lane and (again I was having a good pass) he says "what happened to you, we where right together?" I explained that I missed a shift... then he said " yeah I had a shitty pass as well" HAAA! moral to the story shitty pass for him is great pass for us!

That is really a great honor Bro. To line up against the old Patron Saint of the Vmax. You had to be a little distracted and in awe. I'd be.
I'd like to just meet this guy sometime. I believe Jay has an 85 that Yamaha gave him,if I understsand that right. He put the Vmax on the map way back in the 80's. Great pics. Thanks for posting this.

I ordered the classic '85 poster below with personal autograph to me and my son. It's a keeper and worth the few $$. I remember when this picture came out in '85:
