Hey,
I’m at a loss today. I’m packing to cut a dusty trail to South Dakota. Whatta scramble. If I take everything I think I need, I’ll require a sea-going freighter. When Billy arrived he brought a tent, camping stove and enough gear to hike across the Himalays. He cut it to a Bandit’s Bedroll and a backpack. We’re hauling the tent in the truck.
Just shows we’re all nuts. Natch, I fucked with my bike to almost 2 in the morning, then slept on the edge of the bed chasing my mental check list in my dreams. Let’s hit the news before another interruption, list, or call comes in from the Badlands. “Yo Bandit, will you bring another case of beer?”

THE CANTINA CHINAMAN ON AGING–One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It’s worse when you forget to pull it down.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it’s called golf.. Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth…AMEN..!!
D&D DEALER PROGRAM CONTINUES TO EXPAND–They dyno test all their systems for maximum performance. They currently work with Zipper’s performance and developed a killer combination that completely upgrades twin cam performance. See the tech in our Garage (Tech department).

DOMINIK NOT RACING FOR WILBERS– y mutual agreement it was decided that Dominik Vincon will no longer start for the Wilbers Racing Team during this IDM Supersport season. Now as the Triumph Daytona is rather impatiently raring to go, Phillip is enormously glad to pilot the further developed 675 on Pirelli in our Team for the rest of the season!
Because of the experiences with Philipp last year we know that the second half of the season is going to be extremely exciting and that with him
Joshua Sommer gets a perfect mentor and instructor. On the other hand Phillip has to pay attention else talented Joshua might well get very close to him as already announced during the last IDM run in Salzburg!
We strive to end this IDM Supersport season with those two riders and hope that this duo is going to stick together next year as well. Due to the apprenticeship he begins 1st of August Joshua will be present in any case! We?ll be back with more news after the following weekend and Schleiz!
