Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival

[CL-100]

Anyone going to the Barber Festival next weekend?  If so, I'd like to meet some other Bridgestone enthusiasts if you have the time.

I'll be racing my SR175 there in GP200 and 250. I have Thurs practice. I should be in the pits on the first (lowest) level near pit in/out. Look for number 108.

We're going to be there.

Looking forward to seeing you race Paul.  Hope you don't mind if we pick your brain a little.  My son is building a 200 road racer.

Great to meet you Paul.  Thanks for taking the time to chat with us.

While watching your race Sunday morning, the guys next to me said to tell you "Canadians Rule". Figured I'd pass that along.

The radial fin heads peaked my interest. Are they custom or refitted for the BS 200? I expect they cool better...

Thanx for the pics Al! And nice meeting you and your kids. Like I said, if you have any questions about your son's bike build just shoot me a message. I think I know what Canadians your talking about!

Hey Bert,

A company by the name of TabLoc used to make the heads and other things like aluminum sprockets. They were extruded and then drilled and machined for whatever application (Bridgestone, Yamaha, etc). TabLoc sold out to DG, which most people know made the radial heads for many bikes including Yamaha RD400. I don't know if they cool any better then the stock heads (I've run both set ups).

Paul, thanks for the education. Even if they don't cool any better, they just look cool!
