A Nice Seafood Dinner

Get the movie reference?

Anyways, I'll update this when I decide what I want to do with it. My plan is to make it mostly pictures and not a ton of talking. Everything will be about riding, maintenance, specific rides, and track days. It will be like a photo album with short captions. I figure that will be better... no one is going to read long diatribes anyways.

Need to fix my damn camera first, though... for now it will all be camera phone shit.

Can't wait to get out there now that the weather is trending up.

Nice weather has arrived!

Forgot blog rules... edited post :lol:

Made huge garage progress this weekend. It's mostly done (details in Garage Build) and I'm incredibly fucking happy with it. I'm on some garage forums and a lot of people there have amazing garages that are nicer than mine and 10 times as big.... but they paid someone to do it all, and they just use it as a museum for their vehicles that they don't work on. This space is going to get USED heavily, and I built the entire thing myself. It's a pretty awesome feeling. On to the pics:

Also, ordered an onboard camera setup that will be here this weekend in time for all my TDs and Gap days:

Had some track fun recently, but then had to cancel my trip to the gap, SC, and Jennings GP :no:

A couple laps of NHMS at pretty much my full pace. I'm slow :no: :

I also threw it on google video because sometimes the quality comes out better there:

Turn 2 remote-cam. These pics always come out cool, wish I'd known he was there so I could have tweaked my form a bit... this was a first lap, trying to heat up the tires:

Coming out of 3-4 up to the hill at 5, full WOT (look at the forks):
