Thanks, Kas...

That first year we put those handle bars on the car as a joke, we had a 
ball going through Tech.  Because of our straight faced attitude, the fact that 
they were completely functional, and the official TRIUMPH hub cap badge 
they sport, they caused more high power caucuses than early "No Way!" reactions 
in Tech.  

Those handle bars have long been Ole Blue's signature upgrade, but I can 
only use them for drag racing, or generating puzzled looks and questions in 
our paddock.  The most common question being, "Is the driver handicapped?"  
And of course, Wismer answers, "Yeah!"

But except for slight bends in the road like 'the kink', I can't get the 
handle bars past my gut in hard turns when road racing.  It's my gut and lack 
of natural talent impacting my lap times...not the handle bars.  But as 
always, I appreciate, seek and need any and all further council.  

Keep it coming.

Hope you and Peg are healthy, happy and warm.

Bill
