    I've had 3 in 5 months. Two had the breathalyzer thrown in for good measure.

    That was Tuesday.

    I noticed something that day. If snow cakes up on the forward radar and blocks it, the cruise control still works.

    “But Mr Mack, why do you have the cruise on driving through a snowstorm?”

    Simple. It was 35 degrees.

    Wrench tells me all the controls for the autos are on top of the tranny. There's just not that much to a good 'ol 10 speed.

    Well I started racing 1976. Motocross and desert racing. Then I got older and and decided crashing all the time sucks and decided road racing was safer. I raced middle weight supersport and middle weight superbike. And then superbikes. I haven’t raced since 2007. Wife told me she was pregnant and I was done that day. Here’s the thing... I knew how talented the people better than me were. I didn’t have that talent or commitment to be life flighted. LOL

    I just spent the last ten minutes trying to find a stand alone clip of Les Grossman screaming “Diet Coke!!!”

    All the video clips have enough profanity to get me banned. So I declined to post them. LOL

    At least I can still shift gears in my pickup truck, even if it is only 6 of them. :D

    Better than I achieved.
    Always wanted to race, but never had the money to make it happen.
    Had to be content with enduro style Trail Riding.

    It’s good for sure. Have you ever tried some of the Japanese whisky brands? They’re really good.

    I often wish that’s all I did. Never had more fun then being with friends and my Dad riding in the high desert of California. I trade all my racing to go do that again for a week.

    I bought my son a Suzuki JR-50 the week he was born. He doesn’t like it. Too loud.

    Smart kid. LOL
