Been so much since January that the racing has had to take a back seat. Got a podium last month and the machine is just tired.

Rear rocker gasket is leaking, the fork seals are weeping.

Days consist of handling the STUFF that life gives you and this is what dinner looks like before going out to start the fork rebuild.

(Thanks Antelope Valley Buell for the overnight fork spring compression tool loan!)

Looks like a nice healthy meal without a lot of fat. You should be commended.

I try on the food thing and exercise. It's kinda critical especially when healing!

I've got a tired motor and suspension on my Buell. Probably done racing for this year as the $$$ just aren't there.

Hope to get the top end on the motor done, new fork oil, a new rear shock and maybe GMD set up assistance before next race season.

Sharna Lee - photographer sent me a pic of my run to my first podium this year. Kinda nifty for an old fart (yeah, I get all that "LOOK AT ME" egotistical stuff going on)

I'm sorry, but I cannot read your number, thus you must be disqualified. : ]

Looks to me that you've made some progress since last I saw the floor!

When's the party?

We made progress because we HIRED OUT! As it was, I was hoping to be able to lose the house in a fire and collect the insurance money.

I HATE TILE!

(couple months and we've gotta do SOMETHING in the way of a party)
