Ray German Reports:

This is also in the general discussion board.

I finally got home today after 2500+ miles ans (2) records. This stuff IS NOT as easy as it looks. I came here with two goals that was to set two open records and to set the bar high enough that someone trying to beat me had to spend some cash to beat me. I think I achieved this, but it took alot out of me and several other folks. With this I feel that I should thank some people who helped along the way.

First, is Aaron Wilson, who spent many hours prepping my bike to achieve this effort. Brian Nallin, whose expertise at head porting was great along with his brother (Richard) gave me great advise on the proper way to go down the salt. Then there is my sponsors, Nallin Racing, J&M Machine shop, TDS Customs, Powersposts Alley, Team Evles, and all of you on the Bad Weather Bikers.

Then there was the food crew which included Paul from Oz, my mom Barbara German, and many others that I can't remember. The pitcrew of Dick German (my dad) and Anastasia German (my daughter). Snail & I voted and decided that we had the best looking pitcrews because of our daughters. The support I got from Paul form Oz, Paul, Peter, Henrik, Philly, Josh, Tami, Art, Aaron, Richard, Steve, Susan, My family, ans so many others that I forgot that it is too long to list. The sporster list folks were wonderful also.

This was a wonderful experience, please do not think that it was easy, but it was wonderful none the less.

BTW: I backed up the first Team Elves record, but that was just from the luck of the draw not skill.
