More evidence that work magically fills both the time and budget available.

Juck: Good call. My own short-lived train-hopping days were both scary as hell, and great fun. We may have looked dirty and grim on the outside, but on the inside we were having the time of our...

Great test, and thanks for posting it. As Millier said, these types of tests are worth much more than just words and opinions.  It's interesting that after knowing which were which, it becomes much...

Oregonyankee:  When I read your original post about your problem, I was surprised at a few things that you mentioned, especially about the Sigma rep you spoke with not offering a post-paid shipping...

A few sidecar shots from today's races, plus one bike Lin will recognize. Part of the 14 historic sidecars entered in the AHRMA event at Sonoma. Too hot into turn two ends in an off-track...

Jande:  Beautiful  restoration!

Dave, I wouldn't touch a thing on that shot, since it absolutely, 100% perfectly describes how most of those pre-unit bikes felt way too often while riding them. When your choice of handlebar grips...

Oh-h-h-h, sh-e-e-e-et !!!   You're THAT Lin Evans ?!?  Hang on while I gather my now-scattered thoughts. OK, I'm back.  I wasn't sure if I should reply privately, but what the hell. Everyone here...

Yup, good memory, Lin.    Sparky Edmonston was Kenny's best friend and wrench for years. Sparky was a racer himself, and his dad invented the Lectron racing carb. Sparky died in 2008 of melanoma,...

Motorbike hound reporting for duty.  Woof!   A little 'feets-up' power sliding into turn one at the Santa Rosa Mile, 2012.  This is "Sparky", the most fearsome, most powerful, and pretty much the...

Charlie:  Wow!  Thanks for sharing that link to LJ's work.  I'm stunned by his or her work. Absolutely magnificent!

My guess is that he only talks that way when he's at sea?  Cabin fever symptom, maybe? Besides all that, how come he's still replying to you, Mr. "Number Five"?  Looks like not being able to...

Agreed. That was a shock!

I use a Pelican card wallet in the field. Waterproof, solid and small, so easily carried with you. To prevent having a card shake loose when opening the Pelican case, I have two thin rubber bands...

My first shock - though it didn't sink in until later - was paying $330 for a ONE gig Lexar CF card for my first SD9, ... and it was on sale!  I think the actual retail price was over $400. My...

Thanks, Larry. It was a fun event. Lots of "nice noise."

Sorry for the repeat photo. DP is glitching again.

Some shots from the vintage races going on this weekend at Sonoma Raceway (Sears Point) Not really Alain, but a reasonable facsimile. This guy had the car absolutely flying. The sound was awesome.
