It's 7:00 here and my adrenaline is still pumping...... WHAT A DAY. Blog words just cannot explain the experiences had this day. From getting to meet Mr. Carr, seeing so much iron and inginuity from 1920 to 2009 and then trying to slow my heart rate down when you are instruced to proceed to the start line. Pre-stage and main was almost a 2hr process all the while watching runs and knowing you are soon to be lined up at mile 1. My goal was to bring a bike from 980 elevation to an adjusted salt elevation of over 8,500 and [View Full Entry]

We had a pretty good travel day and got ourselves into Grand Island Nebraska before I started hitting the rumble wakeup strips.... True road trip, Mel made us up some sandwhich's and we just motored away the miles, she kept me on track with paper maps (see "Notes" below...ugh) and fed tid bits on the states we are in. We got to see the Mississippi.... Yeap Kids Thats the Mississippi, The Mighty Miss - Ol'Man River..... (for you Lampoon lovers). Illionois was very Indiana but we really loved the rolling farm land of Iowa... hit the Norman Rockwell Romance button on [View Full Entry]

What a Long Strange Trip it has been, and that's just "getting ready" for this road trip. Honestly it has been a blast tearing down and building back up my KZ-Gal getting her ready for the salt. Utilizing all the mechanical talents my Dad taught me over the years and turning a 33 year old piece of history into what should be a very safe and hopefully fast (for her) journey down the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats. So getting from torn down to built back up and now actually tucked inside her lil travel box :), special thanks to my Brothers [View Full Entry]

It was my last year of High School and looking to get myself that dream bike. I had been lusting after the new KZ 900 Kawasaki for about a year and now I was finally ready to buy. Well actually I "finally" got the unwilling nod from my parents to go out and "Kill Myself", so off I went. I ended up on a Honda 550 that year due to limited funds (dreams cost a lot) and admittedly I also had a mild case of intimidation of that KZ beast. Oh don't get me wrong, I was loving life on two [View Full Entry]
