Title: Did I chop someone?
Post by: EX_#76 on May 14, 2007, 12:29:10 PM
The expaust can was loose on my bike after the LWSB race on sunday at BHF.   ::) It was sporting a small rubber mark on it like someones tire had been lightly rubbed on it.   :wtf: I never felt any contact.  I was just wondering who the person was?  I checked with all of the racers who I rember seeing in the race and all of them said we did not touch.  Anyone see or hear what may have happened?  If I chopped someone please let me know (and I am sorry  :wah:)

Wasn't in the SB class, but wanted to take the opportunity to say it was super cool riding with you and Ed and all the other LWSS and ULWSB guys on Sunday in my first ever race. It actually took longer to get lapped than I'd thought. I was waiting for it, and when it happened everyone was really great about it. I was just hoping to not get in anyone's way. Unfortunately, it was too much fun, so you'll be having to deal with me being a new moving chicane from now on. :)

Thanks - The suit started out white, with blue and black where the diamond plate is - that would be the fine work of Roger and Alexa at Spyder Leatherworks.   :thumb:

Thank you, but it's Roger's artistry. He's got a few more tricks up his sleeve, I believe. ;)

Yeah, Roger did a fantastic job with them. When I got the suit from a friend of Xian's, I thought it would be too cutesy if we had (sort of) matching leathers so when I found out Roger could re-color them, I told him I wanted a black suit, and to try out whatever he wanted... and it sounds like he can do all sorts of crazy stuff with the paint. It's the same process as what he uses to "freshen up" color, but this shows that he can completely change it.

Alexa of course is responsible for the Badtz-Maru.

It's a little more Spinal Tap than my usual style, but it's awesomeness... and I'm thinking the next addition should be "truckstop" in old gothic lettering across the top. With an umlaut over the "u" of course. (or my last name since it technically does have an umlaut in it when spelled the old German way... hmmm)

He already has them, his mom bought them for him. Freakin hilarious. He was pimping them at Autobahn a couple weeks ago.

That would be my mother-in-law.  Give credit where it's due.  Straight from Graceland, they are an official replica of The King's custom-made shades in lurid gold.  People were laughing themselves sick when I broke those bad boys out! 8)
