The newest addition to my garage isn't a bike. It is a 1988 Blackwater 100 Pinball Machine in pristine condition. I rode this event in 1983 with my buddies Larry and Jerry. It was one tough ride. This machine is pretty cool to play and reminds of some great times riding back in the 80's. It also goes well with Beer and Pizza.

That's pretty cool. I wonder how many motorcycle pinball machines there are. A friend of mine has an Evel Knievel machine but he won't sell it to me.

That's a great machine. Looks like it is in excellent shape too! Score. Machines have gone up in value lately. |

Super cool machine! I've heard of The Blackwater. I raced enduros for 20 years 85ish-95ish, best was a B rated rider. We had one in Northern CA called The Jackhammer enduro. Really difficult - and 2017 was the 47th year. 100 miles like the Blackwater but it was two 50 mile loops with a pitstop in the middle. Hard to make a loop on most stock tanks so everyone had bigger tanks. I was most successful with mt IT465, failed miserably on my CR500. My two racing buddies Steve and Dave --- Me on the right with my IT465 |

Most bikes were 250s, 200s and 175s. The tight woods made a big bore a tough bike to navigate, unless of course you are super human Scott Summers on a 650 Honda. Now our group does mainly ADV riding for off road and that is a ball. We are trying to put a trip together to CA and ADV ride the Sierra Nevadas. I did ride LA-Barstow-Vegas in 2013 and 2014 on a KTM 500EXC and was glad to have that power in the sand. |

My then future step son was using it as his race car garage and it was, to be kind, a pig sty. It took me over a Winter to "Restore" it.
