Name: Darrell

Location: Kansas City MO
Interests:Sport Bikes & Track Days, Funny Movies, Meeting Forum Folk, MotoGP
Occupation:Motorcycle Mechanic
Darrell's Bikes Are:Kawi Green '06 ZX10 (because yellow doesn't corner well), and a Burgundy '93 ZX11 (currently being restored...very slowly)
Darrell's bike's modifications:K&N air filter, Full Muzzy Exhaust, Air horn, Power block for Cell phone, LED tail lights



The Man and his Machine




Leading a pack through a right hander




Coming in from a couple decent laps, (you can't see it through his tinted shield, but he's grinning from ear to ear)




Here's where he ply's his trade, (notice he has a couple buddies to keep him company)




He makes an effort to meet Forum Members whenever he gets close enough

Darrell and Bennice try to figure out how far it is to the bottom of the canyon
(did you guys ever figure out who could spit the farthest?)


Darrell and Tina (a2rider) meet up with TimStanley


Darrell gets to have a bite to eat with Likarock (& family), and D-Day



And of course, behind every great man, there's a great woman right?
Tina sure can pick em.




Darrell, you are an important part of the heart and soul of this community.
I'm sure I speak for all here, and wish you nothing but the best fortunes in this coming year, thanks for being part of our family.

I called him and told him. This may lighten his step as we pack today.

He says thank you! You did a good job on the write up, Dave.

So Tod did the design and you're taking credit?

Darrell would like to contribute more, but he doesn't want to get banned!

Leading a pack, that's funny. I guess if you are far enough behind you can lead. LOL

I had a huge smile, I really liked that track. now I am about an hour away from it too.

Thank you guys, I really wasn't expecting to ever have this honor of being the MOM.

Darrell, should the truth be known your MOM page has been done for over a month and the secret was kept. Tod did do a great job of building it and hiding it.

We really do appreciate all you do for the Forum and all the members.

Thanks for being here!

It's been a long time coming Darrell.
You contribute advice, assistance, opinions (plenty of those to go around), and of course laughs.

You deserve to be honored. Congrats.


I hope everything goes smoothly with the move this weekend. Nothing lost, nothing broken, no injuries, everyone gets there alive.
