...Never surrender.

My dad sent me some passenger floorboards for his new Yamaha Stratoliner. He wanted them stripped and shot 'wrinkle black' to match the wrinkle black factory finish Yamaha lays down on the frame. I even went as far as to find a Stratoliner and get a feel for what the factory wrinkle black felt...

More upgrades to the trailer now that HF finally got off their butts and sent me the stuff I ordered. First, my wireless remote control winch got in. It's even camo, which is cool. Had to fabricate new mounting brackets and mig-weld them up to the existing hand-crank winch mount. Simple...

Dig... http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/American-rider39s-bitterness-at-TT.4042236.jp You throw some tea off a boat a couple hundred years ago, and someone has to hold a grudge. Doug had a entirely new FII sidecar built just for the TT over the course of the last two years from the ground up by...

...share the road with these morons. Taken about 20 minutes ago along Mission St. in Santa Cruz.

Dito, I guess I'll be buying a couple 8x12's from you :teeth They published the article. I'll throw two copies in the mail your way. :thumbup

Talked Sidewalk into taking a ride with Rick on the LCR. Which as far as sidecars go is the e-ticket ride. Sunday Morning practice, after going out Saturday on a Formula II, an older Formula I Baker, Sidewalk prepares to step up to a real full-tilt modern Formula I LCR with a championship...

So Girl Wonder and I were down here at Willow Springs racing last weekend. We stayed at the Only Game in Town like we ususally do. We got room 115 and it turned out to be really nice. We enjoyed our stay quite a bit for a change. I felt bad because I microwaved some soup and it boiled over a...

Girl Wonder and I are headed -back- to Willow Springs this weekend for another Superside race. (yes, back to back race weekends) And I have a nice portable DVR unit, but my lipstick camera is pretty crummy. I was looking to borrow one with a wide angle lens to put on the nose of our CSR...

Sarah and I had a great second round of the SRA season at Willow Springs. I made a couple changes to the CSR to help her before we left. First off I changed the trail on the leading link from 35 to 22 mm. This lightened the amount of steering input effort required an amazing amount and...

So we got a new tow vehicle... 2008 Rav4 Sport w/the 3.5 liter 270 horsepower/246 lb-ft torque V6 option. (3500 pounds).

Sarah has a big problem holding WFO in right hand turns, and blipping the throttle for downshifts with the stock CBR1000RR throttle assembly due to the amount of 'throw' the stock throttle requires to go from 0 ~ 100% Sometimes she has to re-grip to get 100% throttle and be able to control the...

My Dad sent me some passenger floorboards and brackets he wanted shot for his new Yamaha Stratoliner. The frame on his Stratoliner is a wrinkle black finish. So I ordered a wrinkle black powder from Eastwood to finish the parts he sent me in. First step was taking everything apart, and then...

Sarah and I loaded up the Outback for the last time for the first race of the season. The ScoobyDoo which has served us well the last 1.5 seasons would be retired this year to be replaced by a much more powerful 2008 Rav4/v6 Sport capable of pulling a big enclosed trailer without breaking as...

The first race of the 2008 season for the Sidecar Racers Association West was great. We had an excellent showing of 11 rigs on the grid at Willow Springs. Which given the sub-50 degree temps, snow on the mountains, and wind, was pretty stellar. We have many more teams coming out this season...

Started as this... Progressed... Progressed... Progressed... Mechanical done...

So I have a TF2 server/process that's on some -fat- bandwidth and an amazingly awesome box in a colo. But it goes unused most of the time. The HL2DM process on the same box is very popular and pretty high in the HL2DM server stats on steam. Not the same for TF2. I'm curious as to if anybody...
