    My new ride!

    For the first time in 30 years, I don't have a sports car. Got rid of the Corvette and bought a new Ford F-150 Supercrew Platinum with the twin turbo V-6. I missed the Vette for about 10 minutes.

    Estimated cost to move a tank

    Wasn't quite sure where to post this so hope it's ok here. I'm selling my entire system and I'm trying to get an idea of what it would cost someone to have it moved in negotiating the price. Essentially, they will just need to come tear down a 90 gallon reef with 100 lbs of fiji, two clams...

    Another weekend at the track

    My wife and I did some track riding this weekend again. It was a really hot day and the bikes were sliding a bit but a fun day. This guy lost it and high sided about 120 mph right in front of my wife and she caught it on film. Really bad place to pass on the inside with a 130+ MPH turn coming...

    No classified section?

    Am I overlooking it? I thought we used to have one. I'm selling my entire system and wanted to post it up here in case anyone withing driving distance of me was interested. Can I just post it here? Any rules I'm not aware of around selling?

    A few track pictures

    While I'm going to be busy tearing down my bike after the crash at the track a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd post up a couple of pictures I just got back from the track photographer when it was still in one piece. Too bad they didn't get any sequence pictures of the crash they often...

    Crashed the track bike this past weekend

    Still not sure what happened. I was running five seconds off expert times and the bike felt like it was on rails. Not sure if the rear tire gave out or if I hit some liquid on the track. It was strange weekend with 15 crashes and four ambulance transports. I didn't get hurt at all and...

    I'm without words . . . A new way to keep things safe

    This is no joke. It is actually on the Sears Website and you can buy your own today. I really think they would work well but why would I pay $12.99 when I can easily make my own. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...00100383&aff=Y

    Talk about your pucker moments . . .

    I was at the track this Sunday having a great time and lost my concentration on the last session of the day which is the most likely time to crash. This is what happens when you downshift at 133 MPH and release the clutch too fast with too little throttle. You lock the rear wheel, fish tail...

    Needed some stress relief so I hit the track last weekend

    I have been playing around with camera mounts between sessions and put this together. Switch it to HD 720P and enjoy.

    Guitar People - Need your help

    My dad called me and told me he picked up a used guitar. He said it was really old but couldn't tell what type it is. He drew a picture of the only thing he could find inside the sound hole. Anyone have any idea what model this is?

    Getting ready to get rid of the tank

    Well, after having my tank setup for the past 13 years, I'm getting ready to get rid of it. I have not had any interest in the past couple of years and it has been on autopilot mostly. We are going to install wood floors in our home so I would need to move it. Figured I might as well get rid...

    Restricted areas of NASA Space Shuttle Tour

    This was one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life! My friend works at NASA on the Shuttle and as the shuttle program is coming to an end, employees that work on the shuttle were allowed to bring six people into the restricted areas where they prep the shuttles to see areas that no...

    Had a blast this weekend!

    Finally made it out to the local track. Anyone have any idea what 130 mph on a back stretch feels like in 38 degree weather? It is pretty darn cold! My wife and I in the pits pulling out for the first session on brand new Bridgestones that I just mounted the night before. I only had one...

    Do I really need a 4th motorcycle?

    Thinking of adding a 2009 Ducati 696 to the stable. Something a little different indeed.

    For my Motorcycle Peeps . . .

    Finished up for the most part this weekend. Still have a few odds and ends like safety wiring to wrap up before it's maiden track debut. Many performance mods to come later. Concentrated efforts and money on suspension first.
