    “CHiPs” reruns

    I had the occasion to work with Larry Wilcox (Jon) on a few projects and I found him to be a decent, rather humble guy. I grew up watching CHiPs so it was fun to meet someone you admired when you were a kid. The new remake movie was funny but wasnt anything the original cast would be proud of.

    SOLD--Motoport Kevlar Mesh Suit and Liners

    Mike, you would probably like the stretch Kevlar better. I hardly wear my mesh anymore, though its great for warmer climates. Your price is a steal.

    First sport bike

    If you have sciatica you may wish to avoid a CBR or R6. Target a naked bike with a wide flat bar and the ability to add adjustable rearsets. Otherwise youll be howling after a 100 miles.

    Bullitt 559 Displayed at America’s Car Museum

    Long story about the car and owner, I’ll share over beers. Glad it is here in the PNW for a while. The other Bullitt car is in Riverside undergoing a restoration and not as pure as this car.

    MV Augusta Brutale 1000 Oro

    I just need the check for my Singer Porsche 911 to clear, Don. Worth the google if you dont know the car.

    First sport bike

    Try a middle weight 800 or so. Russberry speaks the truth about liter bikes, they are fast and fun but turning effort is high and they really want runway to be super enjoyable. A 750 or 800 would be fantastic. Stay around 400 lbs or so. That would be KTM 790 Duke,

    MV Augusta Brutale 1000 Oro

    208 hp naked with a 13,600 rpm redline and a 190mph top end. Makes my 158 hp Brutale seem tame. Beautiful bike.

    High Bridge, Ben Howard,road research

    Youd need to ask Achiu. I had only a big smile on my face.

    4 wheels and 2 wheels

    Update: my oldest son and I did a 1600 mile road trip home this summer in the black car. It was a fabulous 4 day adventure. 105 degrees when we left and down to 42 degrees in fog on the Oregon coast. We took amazing backroads and Hwy 1 through Big Sur. Not a whiff of mechanical trouble...not bad...

    High Bridge, Ben Howard,road research

    Achiu came over Sunday for some tech work on his cage, and we took a short run in the 914-6 with its summer tires. Almost zero traction on the roads here. Be careful on Ben Howard, there is always gravel on the road and I always seem to hit it.

    FU*K FIRE

    The Rock Store, Neptune’s Net, and many other places survived. Three friends had no damage but one other friend lost his home. This was is a devastating fire.

    FU*K FIRE

    Three of my close friends had to evacuate the SoCal Fire, and it crept up to the ridge of SportsGuy's neighborhood (whose residents were already dealing with the awful shooting). One of my friends won't know until likely tomorrow if their house is still standing. The fire burned through the...

    Curtiss Zeus electric motorcycles

    The prettiest motorbikes I’ve owned are nearly unridable after an hour. Includes the MV Agusta F4 and Brutale, and Metisse Desert Racer. Beauty comes at a price.
