Annual National Turkey PRO 2011

"A" · November 27th, 2011, 01:28 PM

The annual meeting of motorcycle enthusiasts in eastern PA area held the National Turkey PRO slowrace on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Nice weather with temperature in the 60F drew a large attendance of fancy two-wheel vehicles:

This year, the even is held at a new venue in Oley Fairground in Oley, PA.
With better parking arrangement, larger field of participants and spectators for the slowrace.

Race format is simple, oval grass track, with a incline and decent.
Two riders faceoff, head to head race once around the track, the slowest time without putting foot down wins. Any bike can participate, even the large BMW with hard sidecases or the little 50cc clown bike.

I rode out on my 01 Kawasaki Sherpa 250, hoping to dominate the slowrace with my fine motor skills, but against the tiny clown bikes I had no chance of winning..

Roads out in Oleys were great, lots of elevation changes along with curves.

Good times, not many more riding days like this for the rest of the year.
