[twowheelnut]

I lied. See you tonight!

The International Man of Mystery's Death Valley Ride 2008. The only casualties I'm aware of are; one rear Diablo, one front headlamp, one side case, several bottles of Jack, SoCo and assorted other libations, several hundred thousand bugs, many tens of gallons of liquid gold, many tens of California, Nevada and Arizona traffic laws and at least one heart.

Also, henceforth, Fairlaner shall forever be know as, "Fair-Ninety-Miles-Per-Hour-Is-Still-Too-Slow-And-While-I'm-At-It,-One-Hundred-Miles-Per-Hour-Is-Just-About-The-Right-Speed-To-Share-Lanes-Laner". :blink: I, on the other hand, will henceforth be known as, The ***** Who Followed Him. mg:

Im off in one hour up to Lone Pine to link up with those racer pretenders!! I know I will be watching them thru my windshield most of the time but it is what it is. Look forward to a safe and enjoyable weekend with all those that make it.

Skooter, sorry that you can't make it but I saw that you posted about WORKING. Give it up man, retirement is a real gift and pleasure!!

Very nice..... but may I suggest leaving out the pic of the fuel prices? It might cause heart attacks.
