  • 2010 SRA-west Provisional Schedule

    Here is the official unofficial schedule for the series I race with. TBC is “too be confirmed” as we have no official deal yet with those two venues.

  • Loss

    A couple weeks ago I got word my friend Lisa committed suicide. It was a serious shock. After years of battling cancer, she got a clean bill of health from the doc. A week later she took her own life. I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for friends to show for a memorial when my mom called. My…

  • The Engine Is Running

  • Sidecar Build Continues

    Spent my three-day weekend on the sidecar. A lot has been done. Most of it I did not photograph. The frame has received considerable modification. The GSX-R1000 engine has been mocked up in place, moved six inches forward of the old engine, to put more weight on the front wheel. This alone will likely change the entire feel of the…
