Kent says Hi from Minnesota

[mudduc]

Hi All,



I'm Kent Larson from Minnesota. I was pretty active back on the 900RR and HSTA news group a decade to two ago but have dropped out of motorcycling community (but not out of riding) for quite a few years now. I think I was even on this forum for a bit back in the early 2000's. I was a CRA, CCS, FUSA racer from 1994 to 2004. Worked NESBA as a control rider/instructor for a few years. Wrote "Motorcycle Track Day Handbook" with a few friends contributing (Copy and paste this to see samples-->"https://books.google.com/books?id=gg1LM967OhMC&printsec=frontcover&source=g bs_vpt_reviews#v=onepage&q&f=false"). If you like the book, don't buy one. I'll give you one if you shake my hand and ask nice for a copy.I'm getting back on this forum and others and into the motorcycle community as I try to re-street my backup RC51 and maybe move out a bunch of the crap I've accumulated over the years.  I really need to identify/list and sell or donate about 300 items laying around my house.

One motorcycle I have to get rid of is a 1997 Honda ST1100 that was stuffed under a guard rail down in Iowa back in 2002.  I picked it up for the owner who wanted to leave it there instead of pay the $700 tow and storage charge.  I figured I could get him back into riding once he sees how we could fix it up as a naked town bike but he was done with riding and I couldn't talk him into returning to the sport.  I just sold the frame and clean title so now I should get on with parting out the rest.Well, perhaps I'll start getting stuff in the for-sale forums soon unless career, kids and crippling depression gets in the way.Drop me a note and say hi. Remind me if we've meet. Looking forward to reconnecting with you all.Later,Kent


Current Rides:
2014 Honda Grom
2008 Yamaha WR250R
2005 Yamaha FJR1300
2001 Aprilia RS50
2000 Honda RC51

Hi Kent,
Welcome back! I think I remember you. I'm not so good on names but I remember faces and bikes. You have some nice bikes for sure.
