I just got back. You have to be 21 to go to bars (18 in Louisiana), so none of that. Its a pretty boring town, but I was up there to see my girl so I wasn't bored. I'll try to remember to ask her tonight what is fun in Evansville.

There is Big 4 cycle and Bud's Harley Davidson on Morgan Ave near Green River road. West side Honda is on Franklin avenue on the west side of US 41. The Superbike Shop I think is right across the street from big 4 cycle. The mall is on green river road and Best Buy/ Home Depot and all that are on the Lloyd expressway on the east side.

i was there last year also. i was riding a 04 dvx400. i put it into the wall hard and trashed the axle. for the captains race i rode my buddys 450r, i was riding against Quin Michaels. he has the Raptor. we have to do things the way they want it done. that arena is very small, if they just turned us loose in there somebody would realy get hurt. i know most people think the whole idea is stupid, but when things work out right we have a lot of fun, and we get to make alot of little kids realy happy.
the whole thing it worth it to me if i just meet 1 little kid and know that he or she had fun.

if you make it to the show please come over and say hi.

we dont think of it as a race, it is a show,
and we have a lot of fun, and we are riding in a heated building in the middle of winter.
