racing

So Julie took me to the races this past Sunday. Not a good way to keep a man wanting a motorcycle calm.
A friend of ours, Dustin, races motorcycles and Sunday was the last race of the season. since neither of had seen motorcycle racing live before we thought we'd give it a go. All I can say is there is no way you could get me out there. Those guys are nuts! Everyone kept saying it's safer on the track than on the street but no thanks. Even got to see a guy wipe out in a group of about 15 bikes. Amazingly no one got hurt or hit. Dustin did pretty well, getting third in the 2 races we watched and sealing third place overall for the season in one class of bike. I got a few good shots of the action and have some gifts now for our friend. He has also asked me to design a poster for his race team to thank all of their sponsors.
On a little different note, my motorcycle will have to wait as I spent my motorcycle fund on a mountain bike (bicycle). No pictures of it yet, but I paid $495 for a $1299 bike. Yes it's new, it was a leftover 2005 model. SCORE!
