Yeah, I know where you're comin' from.


It makes the board a bit boring, I think.

Lots of blah, blah, blah.

Hey guys....

I meant this to be fun.   :D  

We're all just a little 'focused' on this sport.

Hey Dawn, I think that they're all so wound up, they don't know what to do with themselves any more...me included.
I think the harley-hog saw his shadow, so 6 more weeks 'til riding season.

Things to do besides focus on motorcycles:
#1 ?

#2 ?

#3 ?


See? That's how it goes. Good thing the Chicago show is next weekend and the Indy show right after that. Then they can focus on something other than...oh...that's right...more MOTORCYCLES!!!!!!

Daytona!!!!

Then wait... (playing jeopardy song...)

Racing season starts!!!! (except for the lucky guys where it's all warm and stuff, they get to go out and play earlier)

Then all returns to normal, the world will spins properly on it's axis, and wheels will spin smoothly on axles.

Ahhhhh...the sound of motors revving...


OK...I'l go back to work now.

Do or do not, there is no "try".

Wait am I still on racemotorcycles.com? For a moment I thought it was Autoshowpics.com or Cornercamping.com, just confused...can we make this weather.com? I really would like to know the forecast for Daytona and whether or not to bring a winter coat.  Flashback to last spring, brrrrr, well so much for the extra banking to warm the tires up.

The frame was snapped, the #3 rod was dangling from a hole in the cases, and what was left had been consumed by fire.  I said, "Hey, we've got all night!"
