Afterward, we walkedLäs mer

Brian had two different meetings on Tuesday, so I acted as chauffer- it allowed me to have the car. I drove to a cute coffee shop for devotions during the morning meeting and then got a manicureLäs mer

Hagerstown used to, may still get 1 of these events - the Hagerstown 1/2-mile. Late July. It was the throttle-on/rr tire-spinning, sideways out of the corner, tire traction limit brain-training (and handle-bar banging close proximity) of flat-track racing that made American asphalt road-racers dominate the world from mid-1970's to mid-1990's. As for so many things in our history, we taught the rest of the World what we were doing, and now they've come back into contention (even a Spanish, to a lesser degree Italian dominance).

The family knows I mean I'm going to multi-task some things, often do, when I say I'm going to Buell this! Erik Buell, formerly an engr at HD & road-racer, went out on his own, when HD wouldn't design roadracing superbikes. He still used HD engines, further hot-rodded. Multi-tasking? Buell designs feature multi-purposeness, like that twinspar frame is a fuel tank, too. Rr swingarm, oil reserve. Frt brake, big, single vs twin, bolted to the rim (saves parts, wgt - unsprung mass, at that!). My moto hero in many ways. (I own a Buell 1125RR, their hottest and unfortunately last motorcycle, 2010).
All good things must come to an end.

They don't shy away from the love of eating and drinking here. Of course it's beer capital of America. Not shy when saying, 'drink Wisconsinably'.
ResenärLooks lovely. When will you be back?
ResenärI (Brian) added a couple of Mad Madison pics, related to their love of bicycling. Factoid: over 10% of Madison bicycle commutes to work! Home Wed, late.
