yep,...just as i thought.....Hayden by a hair.... this was not Rossi's year... Still,...what a champ! Congratulations Nicky!!!

This one is going to be a nail biter!!!....can't wait Nicky Rossi it's all about me Pedrosa Marco

now,...that, i havent thought of!!!.......... Hhmmm

I retract what i said about Hayden by a small margin.... There goes the F%^&ng championship!!! hope you're happy...... immature kid.....

it's going to get good!!! my prediction.....as much as i hate to admit it...Hayden will get away with it

"MADE OF STEEL .... FORGED IN HELL".... I love it!! they should write that one down!

dude...why so cheerful?

IS THIS YOUR LUCKY DAY OR WHAT!!!!

have you tried these ? I thought about it for a while... i'm still curious

sorry to start monday like this read...

Hey Rocker...... good report whenever you feel like hitting west Texas,... i'll hook you up!! i'll be heading out to Marfa in about a month... pm me dude....really

that was cool.... in other news...guess what? Biaggi's back! at crash.net and at the Alstare site... it was about time!!! good for him....bad for Bayliss and Corser, and the team...and wsb and... Bblllllllrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

I already contributed to his campaign... Kinky for Governor..... I actually meet the dude at a parade down in my hood this last spring,...he has a following!! Campaigning trail!!!

talking of rear brake...... this is how is done.... 'round this parts.... we call that "square dancing"

you gotta see this.... i hope he had knobby tires..... i just can't help it... "they're gonna beat our asses!"

that's right, there's two twin blngs on one lot, the other one is leased as storage for a cartographer right now, but it's set up so you could live in it if you wanted to.... I lived on the east bay (Alameda) a while back, and i know...stuff is crazy expensive out there! what i could think of doing is, buying a tiny piece of land out there by sebastopol or something like that, were you could build one of those things....keep the bike there, so when friday afnoon comes along you drive there, spend the night and early sat you go out and ride the wine country all day, you could ride all that extra time you would use just for commuting there!...you know the roads...they make the tx hillcountry look like kansas then on sunday afnoon you just drive back home. ideally, i'll get some other bike buddy or buddys who would be interested on going in / investing with you... if you were to rent it, the same, there's always some motorcycle nut like us who will be interested in living there, plus it'll take care of the propierty and the bike/s...

B, that's vinyl siding you're talking about....wich btw is absolute crap.... no, it's actually standing seam metal roofing, pretty common around here....it's galvanized sheets...the roofing contractor was hesitant about installing vertically, cause he had never done it before... but it was no big deal, it worked out great....the building is pretty straight forward....conc slab, framed in wood w/ 2x6's, insulated, drywall interior, plywood sheating exterior, wrap in tyvek and skinned in galvanized mtl roofing... it's actually pretty cool inside, the mtl siding is not a contributing factor to the temp inside, besides it's tall enough that any hot air stays up on top...it also has clrstory operable windows all along the tall side...just in case.

well,... the site was an empy lot, the area where i'm at is the old part of town, skidrow right south of the downtown, the oldest neighborhood in San Antonio, dating to the 1800's... not a very safe place, but land is cheap....not much people venture down here... the area is a mix of older industrial parks warehouses and the like, just across the river is the abandoned lone star brewery! because this old houses in the hood doesn't have garages, nor room for them i was forced to build one... (it's actually two) you lease one and put your stuff in the other, it pays itself! actually i'm leasing both, the one with my stuff in it is occupied with another guy who has a 748,.... he lives there, the place has a loft, full bath, kitchen, central air....blah blah, also a good friend of his, is a duc mechanic...the guy takes care of the bikes, so it works out great. at the time there's the Guzzi a 748 (sometimes two), an rs250 and sometimes a K1200s.... it's also a great place to stage out rides, everyone can bring their bike, spend the night and take off early without having to coordinate places to meet...

that's cause...it is!....

tidy...!

tell me about it.... and yes,.,..Orson is Da-Man!! (one day...one day ) I really can't wait..the whole northern region seems tailored for 2 wheels... twisties and boobies!....the only thing better than that is, twisting boobies!

Look at this little pass i found outside Girona...on it's way to Figueres (Casa museo Dali)... and here's the other side ...

those picos de Europa area looks to be great!! i was checking stuff up on google earth... heck i might as well hang out by the Pyrenees and check out Andorra...those roads look great on googleearth ... ... check this bad boy out!!

hey B, thanks for the pointers dude..... orson, would you think that buying something vs renting have any advantages,...does it matter or make a difference? i checked out ducati madrid...they have some decent used bikes,... i think the insurance may be a bitch, instead of just renting something with all the coverage you can think of, that place does not seem to be renting ducs... yes, Alhambra...a buddy of mine (the dude that has the 748) says it rocks. I wan't to check El Escorial...museo Del Prado in Madrid, Dali's house and La Sagrada familia in Barcelona and The Guggenheim in Bilbao....and that's kind of the main trip,...after that anything goes. Another friend says that Oviedo is a very, very cool town, i might have to check it out.... can't F*&^ wait! one more thing.....the running of the bulls in Pamplona seems to be in July... hmmm (we might have to look into that) I've been to this one in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico it was a blast, a couple of years ago too.... i did see a dude get horned badly by a bull about 6 ft away from me... right there, you appreciatte having had a couple of expressos right before The Encierro....i don't know if the dude made it, he got taken out of the barricades by paramedics. it was exhilarating though!

i know,... i-t s-u-c-k-s.... you'll get back on the saddle one day... meanwhile how about this other little drug..? to keep you busy in your break from bikes.... check those bad boys out!!
