Race bike count

Having just updated the number of race tracks on which I've ridden, I tought I'd take a stab at trying to record the number of different machines that I ridden on those track. It gets fuzzy when I've ridden more than one example of the same make and model. How different do thay have to be? I've ridden AJS 7Rs from 1951 through 1062, plus 7R motors in custom chassis. So inevitably this will be a bit of a rough count. Also, the year of the bike might be a bit appoximate. '70 Kawasaki F-5 Bighorn '71 Ossa Pioneer '72 Yamaha TD3 '60s?

Track Count update 3.0

In 2024 I added two new tracks to my track count. 25-26 May, 2024, I raced at Nelson Ledges near Garrettsville, Ohio. It's quite remarkable that I never raced there before in the 52 years I had been racing. I was certainly well aware of it, as it was quite legendary for the 24 hour M/C race that was held there for many years. And, it was certainly no further away than many other tracks that I raced at regularly. The track became quite derilic but a few years ago, new owner repaved the track and uprated the facilities. This was the first time AHRMA raced there and I very much enjoyed it. Track 121. Then on 7-8 Sept.,2024, I raced at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, Pa., also know as Pittrace. I had raced at this location several times when it was known as BeaveRun, but in 2011 the track changed hands and by 2015 the track was extended. I enjoyed the old BeaveRun, but the bit that was added is fabulous and very challenging. Track 122.
