    Buddy has family crisis, has to sell 4 USGP 3-day tickets

    OK, so my bud at work's wife's grandpa just got into a car accident, so they're headed out to see him instead of going to the GP this weekend. Anyone interested in picking these up today? I can bring them to the Blue Fin tonight too. I have Sunday grandstand seats I will throw in to sweeten the...

    Any of you cats and kitties starting to play with Avalon? I'm having a biatch of a time on a demo project and am looking for good resources to help guide me down this evil, evil path ...

    Alpinestars Supertech Size 48 (US 13)

    The closet-cleaning continues: I wore these Supertechs for just a dozen days or so before deciding to replace them with Vertigo Corsas (which are also for sale). They are in very good condition. The only blemishes are some minor scuffs on the inside ankle area, and on the metal heel plates. They...

    Sidi Vertigo Corsa, Size 47 (12.5US)

    It's time to clear out some gear from the closet, so my beloved Vertigo Corsas are out the door. Why sell such beloved boots? Note that they're size 47. I wear a 48. It was close enough to get by, but my last trackday convinced me it's time to treat my feet a little better, so I'm rectifying...

    The Omelet Thread

    Iron Chef is on, my bike's prepped for the track, and Valgar is slathering himself with salmon, so I'm rightfully inspired to bring the topic of the mighty omelet to the minds of the Kitchen Sink. Rich in subtleties, the omelet is a dish as varied as its chefs. Friends, let us rejoice in its...

    Monster Props Act II: Evolution Suspension

    Just got back from UKTech1 and Dangermouse's shop, Evolution Suspension, for a fork and lower triple install (forks I've done several times, but I don't have a good way to take off that lower triple, damnit!) and some other little bits of love. Having met Robert and Jane before, I felt good...

    Monster Props Act I: Helimot

    I've been sitting on my Helimot writeup for a bit to get used to the suit and give it a true shake at the track. Result? I can't say enough good things about the fantastic work Helmut and his staff did. I went with a G23 two-piece with pockets, chest perf, knee velcro, and kevlar inserts. The...

    CLASS @ Laguna, 9/1 roll call

    Anyone else headed down? CLASS veterans with tips for a first-timer to their format or things to think about beforehand? (I've done nine days at the track, six with either the K@TT Novice School or CSS.) I'm thinking of picking up a rental van for the day and would have an open spot if someone...

    Discovery: Up, up and away cleanly

    Anyone else watch the Shuttle launch this morning? The view from the new camera on the external fuel tank was awesome, especially when it separated from Discovery a few minutes ago. Beautiful! Watching the flight brought me back to watching STS-1, the first flight with Columbia, take off as a...

    What else do you do while sittin on the bowl?

    The porcelain throne is a sacred place and, for Elvis, the final place. It is a sanctuary for peace, reflection, and expulsion. In these harried modern times, it is one of the last bastions of tranquility. So, what are your favorite pasttimes whilst cranking out a poo? "Masturbation" is assumed...
