Just a quick note to introduce myself.  My name is Kurt von Ahnen and I used to race with the CCS club on the east coast years ago.  I moved to Colorado and got active in the MRA, then some FUSA stuff before I quit racing.

Since then I have been pursuing a writing career in motorsports and freelance for a few magazines as well as run our own free Ezine at www.vonconcepts.com --- I also supply content to www.1tail.com.

My family is looking to move now to Albuquerque, putting me in a position to return to racing again in the CCS club.  We're thinking TZ's and maybe even a few USGPRU races?

I look forward to meeting and writing about you.

Kurt

Since you'll be in ABQ, check out:

www.roadracesw.com - the Southwest CCS affiliate

www.ASMARacing.com - Arroyo Seco Motorcyclist Association a CCS affiliate in southern New Mexico.

There is also SMRI which races at Sandia in ABQ.

There's getting to be a few more GP bikes out here.

If you don't race, you can be a corner worker and get some good stories from some of us.  ;D(here she goes again :P).

Hey Jerkygirl, I just so happen to know what a Wabbit is, I wonder who else does? ;)

I don't know what a wabbit is?  Go ahead, tell me. Is it allowable on the board? LOL :)

Ummm, I don't think so. :-X :o

Just do a search on the web with that spelling, it will show up right away! (a woman I know let me in on this info, it's more or less a...well...ummm... man replacement for the ladies! ;)).

(thread hiccup over)



So Kurt, why in the world would you want to leave beautiful Colorado? What part did you live in?

Anyways, welcome to CCS again!

That's a tough one Mike...  I still love the Denver area, but recent (3years) decisions have put me in the position of having to go back to working a real job, and lowering the cost of living for my family.  Plus Albuquerque is home to a very good friend and ex-race partner.  

Although I consider myself a stable individual, our last year has been a tornado.  We had little Rainey Joy (daughter) - but my wife's work didn't file the benefits in time, We had a car stolen, I was in the chinese dirtbike business online - disaster, and finally... I am home now with a broken ankle and no insurance for lost wages.  Believe it or not - I fell in the driveway getting the baby out of the car -- 10 years of roadracing and this is how I get hurt :-/

Bike-wise I am looking forward to experiencing different clubs and getting away from the MRA a bit.  I was part of the Racing 2 Save Lives effort, and I am the Managing Editor of the MRA program -- so I was in pretty deep.
