Spotted this back marker at Barber today in the expert class

Oh and he was smoking folks running 1:35 laps

Heavy-Dee · 10-30-2005, 9:31 AM

Should we know who that is?

Getsome · 10-30-2005, 9:39 AM

not close enough to identify anything.. looks like some dude on a GSXR... that's about it.

Think VERY fast, number is slightly off but leathers are his. Granted it was rumor (repeated by many) but he was smoking through the expert group smooth and like they were parked... think 34

Just rumors and I was testing the camera

If it was not him there was some other AMA riders there. Although folks said he was there and riding, I figure someone elses bike.

OK OK so this thread sucks... I will go baaa-ck to All and soon the wooly computer

I can't tell anything from the pics, but 34 would be Kevin Schwantz. What was the occasion?

last STT track day at Barber. I figured the quick sell out was for that reason. However I talked to a bunch of people that said Schwantz and a few others were there and riding. There was one lady from Arkansas that said a group of 30ish riders all came from that area together for it.

I just went down to see a pal ride and test the camera some (so I can recruit dad to take pictures of the herd next year)

Oh and my buddy laid his F2 down

Only minor damage though and he is OK.

I was looking at the AMA website and couldn't figure out who it might be with the limited info. but it was kind of interesting seeing there are actually a few people in the AMA from around here. One guy was even from 2 towns over (that was the closest one I saw)

sheepofblue · 10-30-2005, 11:21 AM

Oh and e signed my wool but it is kind of scratchy...

I thought KS had a sponsorship w/ Dianese? Them's Joe Rocket leathers.

JR was his old sponsor, but I doubt KS would even take a chance on screwing a sponsor. It's just not his mindset.

Okay, just looked at the pics and unless Kevin has gained about 80 pounds since last week (double checked a photo on his site), I seriously doubt these pictures are of him. He usually wears his KS leathers and not just straight Suzuki colors anyway (and I have NEVER seen him wear a helmet that wasn't his own logo/design). This particular rider looks more like Opie Caylor than KS.

sheepofblue · 10-30-2005, 3:32 PM

so I was told tales and he was not riding

Still this guy was quick

Kevin may have been riding, you just didn't get his picture . . .

If he was in that session he was not moving to fast

Oh well I think the camera did decent for at speed photos though (the original is even better than that posted)

That is really not Kevin..... trust me I know....

If you have never heard the how DEPO made an ass out of himself talking to Kevin story.... be happy to tell again.
