As the summer of 2024 is winding down that only means one thing. The Canfield Fair Bike Nite is upon us once again! I look forward to this event every year. This year will be different because I'm only taking one motorcycle, the Kawasaki. The BMW is still waiting for parts (turn signal, coolant reservoir). I'm entering the Kawasaki in the "Sport Bike" class but I should enter it in the "Classic Bike" class. The new operation that is running the event wouldn't even know the difference... You see for years the local Goldwing club ran the event, great knowledgeable folks. Now it's run by some Harley club. Last year a Harley Sportster won the sport bike class. Go figure. Anyway it's still a fun time with premium parking! Also it's the beginning of a five day holiday away from work. Oh, also I turn the big 6-0 on Sunday. Yeah, I know I can't believe it either! So, I'm looking forward to a fun filled Labor Day Holiday weekend with motorcycles once again being the theme...

No way your rice burner can compete against a hardley ferguson in the sport bike category. Ha ha, just messin' with you Norm. You should win easily with that retro widow maker.Larry

I'd think the only thing a Harley club would know about the sport bike class would be what they saw in the dealership, our dealership sells Harleys along with their sport bikes, or what they remember seeing flash by them out on the hwy... Good luck. Just me, I'd have to vote for the Z900RS1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Okay fellows serve it up! I have to eat some Crow...
Turns out, the little Kawasaki came in second in the "Sport Bike" category!
There were some pretty nice Sport Bikes that showed up "crotch rocket" type motorcycles (I hate that term) R1's R6's ZX's CBR's XR... but the retro Z900rs found it's niche. Well I did do a little trash talking to the judges. Maybe or maybe not that helped. I'm just saying... It was a fun night, oh, very hot 93° but cooled down with thunderstorms all around us. But it never did rain.
Ill post pictures when the forum gets more picture posting friendly... I'm not sure what is going on with that tonight...My Motorcycles:
