Triumph StreetTriple

Triumph recently announced the StreetTriple

Looks like a hoot to ride around the track.


I'm really digging that Roulette Green

Long time no blog

Its been far too long since I've updated this here blog. I'll blame it on being really busy, but in reality I just haven't felt like updating it.
So whats been going on for the last few weeks...

To say I've been busy would be an understatement.
Running to NVR every weekend to do the video for them, work from 0830-1700 every day, trying to get things finished up at work before I leave work here for training, fighting with software thats supposed to make my job easier, dealing with tech support on that, riding the motorcycle as much as possible, trying to squeeze in some lake time, offering in-home computer support a couple evenings a week. well I think you get the picture.

I did get a chance to take my bike to the drag strip in Kennedale Thursday night. I went to hang out with friends and watch them run, I must admit that I had an absolute blast taking a few runs down the track. Its clear I'm not professional drag racer by looking at my RTs (reaction time) and I did discover that my VFR800 is a hair bit faster then the mid-'90s VFR750 but it was VERY close. to the tune of .0071 sec difference at the end of the 1/8th mile.

With the rain lately I've gotten to test the wet-weather capability of my new tires (well I say new, they now have over 1k miles on them) and I'm very pleased.

With all this rain, I need to get out and do some mudding, but then who wants to mud by oneself? besides the fact of what to do if you get stuck, its just not as much fun when alone.

Last night was a time for getting back together with friends that have been out of touch for sometime. One came out to ride at the lake. The other decided to be my MySpace friend again. Good times to be sure.

Finally got the pics from the track photographer of the track day that I did back on May 7.
