    Prepping the FJR to sell

    So, after new fork seals and fresh juice in the front end, it was time to kiss and make up with her, so, mounted a new Penske 8983 on the rear tonight to replace the clapped out 9 year old stocker. Was late when I wrapped up, so didn't get a chance to shake it down.

    Thanks for all the kind comments. As with any type of relationship, when you do, or think of doing, something that you shouldn't have, you sometimes make up by buying it something nice.....update to follow

    Prepping the FJR to sell

    So...haven't been riding much lately. Lots of time at work, stuff around the house, toying around in new Jeep, bicycling, running, etc etc etc. Just haven't been able to find/make the time to ride. During the Cycle World bike show, looked at a KLR650 and thought it would be a decent toy to...

    Super Sad

    I didn't want to see that picture any more than I didn't want to see the video ever again. The analysis is meaningless. Regardless of what happened, our sport suffered a big loss.

    Super Sad

    Such a sad couple of days in motorsports. First with the passing of Dan Wheldon and now this. Sic was often criticized for his aggressive riding style on the track and was doing a great job of making better decisions on the track. He had such a promising career ahead of him...he will surely...

    These girls are good!

    Definitely a magnificent feat. She comes from great lineage with her father, the late great roadracer and flattracker Randy Texter and her grandfather Glenn Fitzcharles who is a multi time sprint car champion.
