    Awesomeness

    Wait, what? I owe you a beer? How did that happen? I took a long break from here after TWN passed. Then three of my riding friends ate it. It was hard to come back - kinda like returning to your elementary school - you recognize it, but it's just not the same.

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    I stopped in at Bob's last Saturday to test ride an S1000RR (awesome bike - may become my first beemer after passing (that's passing, with an 'a') on a K1200GT in favor of the FJR) and heard that a Bob's customer is in the IBR. (edit - I guess that's "Hello Kitty") So I know they are watching...

    Safe for work if you get to listen to music at work. Talented whippersnapper:

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    Yeah, that's what I meant about the time machine. Even though these pictures were taken before the rally, they look a lot like what you'd expect if they were taken after Leg One. I guess I wasn't clear. Regardless, the pix are poster children, prolly and literally, for the role of attitude...

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    Franks and Beans! Got to chuckle at a couple of the photos on the scorecards. Two riders posed as if they had access to a time machine and mugged based on their results after Leg One. Meese has that crazyman face you'd expect from someone that rode balls out the way he did. Killer. Then poor...

    Patti Knight (Mrs. TWN) Passed Away, Friday, 1/15

    I regret the blast from the past. Sorry to open the old wounds. But when Tim went away, I pretty much never came back. This is a good enough reason. So sad. Tears for you, Tim. Tears for you, Patti. Peace out.

    Made by Ninjas...

    Ahahahaha!!! Man, that's MEGA! Thanks for caching it - when I went to Craigslist to see it, it was already gone. Loved this: "It even has a tool kit in the back. You know what the tool kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when...

    2009 zr1 corvette hot lap

    (Can you tell I'm not workin' today?) Tres Schweet! Huge props for doing that in an unassisted 911. I figure it's only another 50 years before all the valleys in Kali are filled to the brim with binned 911s. ~2:00 about cracked me up. :) :) :)

    2009 zr1 corvette hot lap

    Heh. Every time I see a C6 'vette, I look for the Z06 badge. I don't know why I do it to myself, because the very next thing I do if I see it is turn green with envy and then start day dreaming.

    2009 zr1 corvette hot lap

    +1 It's truly remarkable what you get for the price of a ZR1. Heck, the Z06, or even the base 'vette is a tempting choice (finally). They started to get the kinks out of Corvettes with the C4. The C6 seems to be almost completely sorted out in terms of engine, suspension, chassis dynamics...

    Robotic Concubines

    You know me, always good for an off-topic diversion. To wit: Just as *** drives other areas of the tech explosion, especially in Internet-related technologies, it will have profound impact on the rate of adoption, and form of adoption of the coming robotic revolution. Particularly, I view the...

    So I Think I'm About To Know A Dead Guy

    You want to meet him? I'm there every Friday night. It's a restaurant in Pikesville, just northwest of Baltimore City, proper. I'll pick up your dinner if you want to make the ride. It might make an impact on the numskull if strangers from the Internet are stopping in to lay eyes on the...

    That's an interesting idea. Hmmmm. This one is compelling.

    So I Think I'm About To Know A Dead Guy

    So I stopped by the restaurant tonight. Jonathan was there, so was Carla, so was Carla's father. ( Jonathan drove his mother's SUV tonight, instead of the bike. )I talked with all of them - until Jonathan walked off, and then I continued to talk to Carla and her father. He related that...
