Konnichiwa (Hello),
I am not sure if this is the proper place for an introduction, so please let me know if it is not.
My name is Richard DeRousse, but will answer to Rich, dude, or yo. I just repatriated to the US after spending 4yrs in Tokyo. I was there for work, but spent most of my time racing.

I used to be a member of CCS and WERA prior to my departure and I am looking forward to getting back out on the ol' stomping grounds with old friends to see if I managed to learn anything while in Japan.
Looking forward to getting myself re-aquainted with the racing circuits and organizations back here in the US again.
Word...
Hey there Rich...welcome. We're all friendly...just watch out for the ones that bite. (kidding..we had them muzzled). :biggrin:
Konnichiwa Rich-san,
Welcome back to a much lower cost of living and less dense population :biggrin:
What part of the country do you live? Maybe we'll meet. I used to be the Midwest region's all around backmarker for Thunderbike and F40. Well, for the 2 races I'd attend at Gingerman. I write "used to be" not because I've found pockets full of speed (no wise cracks from you _____ (K3, Bernie, lbk,....)), but I'll be doing to other race orgs in the upper midwest.
But I don't mean to threadjack into something about me. Welcome back to the US and racing. :thumb:
Howdy, welcome home. Please introduce us to your Pocketbike Queen... :biggrin:

Come up and play at Blackhawk in less than 2 weeks. Lots of forum members out and about there!
Match names and faces, eh? We'll just picture me with the face of Adonis, the mind of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the personality of Cary Grant and the .... Oh well. :rollseyes: better stop now since I've given more than enough cannon fodder to the gallery. :lmao:

Is that a euphamism for "Getting azzpacked while in the process of being lapped?"
:kicknuts:
Wish me luck this w/e at Nelson. That place is wicked, stupid fast. I can only imagine what it'd be like with a smooth surface.
