American Flat Track at Calistoga

Just a quick note. A piece I did about the American Flat Track event two weeks ago has gone live at the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog. The Calistoga half-mile was the first time I'd been to a half-mile event and I really enjoyed the difference.

This happened about a month ago at the first race of the SRA-West season. We were running second when the bike in front of us-- Team 5150-- got a heavy weave under braking at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and couldn't make the turn.

Greeting earthlings. I bring to you a youtube video I made showing the NUVIZ heads up display, a super-wizz-bang-number-one-happy-lucky-do-everything magic box. I have been using the device since August and already have a video showing my initial impressions, but I wanted to actually show the unit itself and not just what it's capable of doing. … Continue reading NUVIZ Heads Up Display: Unboxing
