OK, fellers -- I've once again volunteered the Entropy Lab (AKA, My Garage) for a maintenance day -- oil changing, new parts fitting, brake pad replacement, and like that -- I got tools, coffee, a garage with a fair amount of room, and it's a good way to spend a saturday or sunday morning/afternoon riding to the north burbs, kicking tires and racing benches, and mebbe learning something in the bargain I'm open to suggestions -- any weekend in April is good, jsut lemme know |

Guys, Don't forget the Daytona 200 this weekend. It may be the first time in quite a while that an American made bike has a real chance. I think it's going to be on Speed channel. Hey Sam, is the dealership going to have it on TV? |

One of only 12 that we are allotted. I now have a tentative person penciled in for that spot. If else wants to go let me know so I can pencil in alternates. I have a total of two spots that are not confirmed "meaning paid". Sam |

Larry, is the XB for you or the old lady? Too bad about the insurance rates. Keep searching, you'll find something cheaper. |

larry, try state farm. my brother and i had the same problem with all-state. state farm seems to have a much better quote. all state was coming in around $1000 more per year than state farm. i'm 31 with a 9S, brother is 27 with a 12R. |

Larry, Too bad I didn't check the web earlier. I went out for a ride this afternoon around 3:00pm - 5:00pm. There were a fair amount of bikes out today in the general Homer/Lemont/Lockport area. Sorry I missed you. |

Greg, You gotta know that I was running Bluff Road several times this afternoon. I should have watched for you doing figure 8's on the Cass Avenue exit/entrance ramps! That new housing development on the hilltop crest of Bluff Road is going to be big trouble in the future. I can just picture flying up the hill westbound, cresting the hill and catching a car making a left-hand turn into the subdivision when it is completed. Too bad, that was such a fun hill to fly over when nothing was there. |
