ebear: thanks for the vote of confidence. guys like you and spiderman are, clearly, the cornerstones of my fan club.
johhny lunchmeat: putnam county is beautiful country. Tom waits wrote a nice song about it, on "Nighthawks At The Diner". it's arguably NYS's best-kept secret, you lucky feller.

tramp - I kinda like it here. I'll have to check out that Tom Waits song??? or album???

If the wife and I are out riding on Sunday we'll try to head over that way and see if we can cross paths with the group. As we speak she is leaning towards breakfast at Marcus Dairy.

Wow! The wheelies on the airport are one thing but the lane splitting demos are something else. Was that shot in Europe? Or Britain?

That's inaccurate. The Buell won by 0.092 seconds. It not only covered the distance in a shorter time, after leaving last, it also reached a higher top speed.

In layman's terms...that what we call a butt kicking.

Johnson was awarded the win after further review of the videotape. See www.indystar.com for the full story, though I imagine there's a racing rag out there that does a more thorough job.
It's a shame that Smith didn't get his first win, but it's still impressive to be right there in the mix!
