The little spot
is for friends and Kirsten. The tickle that started it was a
thread on a forum discussing the relationship, if any, between
motorcycles, fast cars and slow boats... The results are in...
There are way to many people sailing that have a motorhead back
ground. The best explanations are the relationship to freedom
or feeling free that is a state common to the past times. |

This shows
the whole thing in it's beginning, notice my first sail boat
in the background. |

I rode this bike for ten years and
over 130,000 miles... about 1980 |

First day at the race track in 85 |
|
 |
|
|
Normal day on the hill (Palomar Mountain).
KK taking photos like it was nothing special... it wasn't for
us at the time. we are going pretty quick here. |
|

The bikes in the foreground
and background are KK's |
|
|
|
We were a familiar sight
at Palomar mountain as seen here. This day riding with the BMW
club who were no slouches. |
|
|
|
I threw everything at this bike except
loud pipes. It had full fairing kit from Lockhart, spondon floating
disc callipers, works performance rear shock and other stuff
I forget. |

This was my first "date"
with KK. Been married over 20 years now. We were on our way to
the superbike races at Riverside. I had a broken collarbone not
yet healed and suffered horribly on the return trip. Could not
pull the clutch. Thats KK cheesing out and me looking reserved...
I hurt like hell but didn't want to let on and fuck up the date.
Don't remember who the other couple were. |

In the wind and at play... on any
sunday! |

In ensenada mexico, getting ready
to start for the La Carrera where I did 34th overall out of 200
entries and won my class hands down. Borrowed KK's little ninja
cause I couldn't get the EX 500 to handle. The 250 was the slowest
(top speed) machine entered, thank god for the curves! |

My daughter Kirsten having a try
on the YSR 50 Yamaha pocket bike which was registered and street
legal. she must have been 8 or so. And no... I didn't allow her
to learn without a helmet. For the pic she was on the side stand. |
|
|
|
Willow Springs about 86. I am on
the red bike. |
|
 |
|
|
KK needed a bike with a low seat...
so I got her an ex race bike with a power band about 300 rpm
wide and a mean little thing but it would go like hell if you
could keep the front wheel on the ground. |
|
|
|
Willow springs again at the top of
the hill. You can just make out the pits in the background. |
