Call me a wimp. But I got all teary eyed when I saw Billy's bike.

I know Billy gave it 1000%.
The fact that he is there riding means a LOT!

I got Billy to his plane after the Minnesota National and I wished him the best. I have been watching to see how he has been doing and was completely shocked about the bike breaking.

I got information from a very reliable source that said it was the Alum swing arm.

It just goes to show you what kind of person Billy really is! He is an outstanding guy that rides his butt off and has more determination than most folks that I know.

The Boomhauer house is still very happy with Billy and we will keep pulling for him to the very end!

Give em hell Billy!!!!!!!

Boomer

I understand that. My point is that it was an alum swingarm not the mag swingarm.

US Trophy Team is in 4th place now (by about 3 seconds) after running 3rd almost all week. It will be a nail biter for the 6th day's motos to decide 3rd place between Finland and the US. Keep your fingers crossed.
