Motorhome Racing

In 12 years of stock car racing, I can't believe I never thought of this!

An Enjoyable Daily Commute?

Image
(Yeah it isn't the greatest photo...camera phone) Dan's latest post got me thinking about how fortunate I am and how I brush off most of my daily rides as "not blog worthy". Many of my co-workers and others in the office building where I work have questioned my sanity when they've noticed that I commute on my Harley despite temperature. I find it humorous that they question my sanity when commuting on the bike is by secret to maintaining my sanity. Back before I owned a motorcycle, if you made a comment about enjoying your commute to and from work or looking forward to the ride home, I'd a thought you needed counseling. But that is exactly what commuting on the bike has done. I look forward to the ride home. I get 30-45 minutes of time doing something I enjoy - riding a motorcycle.

Hope for Tyler

Image
Tyler is a two year old little boy living with his single father in the Atlanta suburbs. Tyler has been diagnosed with Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) . Upon diagnosis, his father was told that Tyler would be blind for life and there was no cure. Through research, Tyler's father learned that umbilical stem cell therapy could possibly be the cure. Tyler's dad, Eric and Tyler's grandparents are seeking fundraising opportunities to raise the money for this treatement. Please take a few moments to look at the website and consider what you can do to help with fundraising. Hope for Tyler Local race track promoters - consider a charity race. Motorcycle Riding Clubs - consider a charity ride. Donation and email contact info

New Ink

Image
Saturday was a rainy do nothing day in the Metro area. We elected to ride into town and have another wonderful lunch at Mary Macs Tea Room . Once again, I was delighted to feast on roasted turkey, cornbread dressing, creamed corn, collard greens and cracklin bread, fried green tomatoes, and certified Georgia sweet tea (no lemon please). After a good southern meal, we headed on down Ponce De Leon to Liberty Tattoo to get a little ink work done. They were wonderful folks to work with, and I'm quite proud of how my new tattoo came out. So, what did you do this weekend?
