Threading the needle, Herrin (who says he lost brakes!). The latter was responsible riding (irresponsible if an attempt at late-braking, alone!!)

THAT museum is amazing!!! New pics(20) just added. We borrowed a couple Buell high performance motorcycles to get to the airport on time! (Not really, but did have to recover cell-phone from rentalRead more
Traveler Good eye. Yes, a UK built Ariel Square - this 1 with an enclosed, 2 seater side-car. I thought, "Good to match with the large, 1000cc (2 chained-together cranks, 2 twins) engine". That side-car could kill a <500cc air-cooled engine, not to mention dangerously slow accelerations! :-). Family of 3, go for a motorcycle ride? Come on!

Almost home, landed in "Maryland, my Maryland". On the title, pardon another family insider thing. My kids know it. Yet the origin was indirectly from my traveling Dad. Our whole family used to goRead more

To counter-quote Japanese-American "Irv Kanemoto", wizard MotoGP tuner for HRC Honda,..."There's no tear-in-the-eye..., of tuner Bruno Tussinelli", leaving the "Baltimore GP" behind. Insider, family joke - a British moto commentator quote from Honda/W. Gardner winning the 1990 Australian GP.* *-YouTube it, highlights? 1 of the best races, ever. Aussie Wayne G. dices and slices with top American riders, combined with near high-side crashes of rear wheel spin-up, ...he crosses the line with hole-worn, dangling side-fairings! Thus, this led to Irv K.'s proud, 'tear in the eye,...' having tuned the violent power-delivery HRC Honda into something at least a few humans on earth could ride!

Must be in the dad quote book we didn't get. My dad too: "Act like you like each other now..."
