(seniors should not be allowed to have a keyboard lol)
SOOO! TRUE!
Especially laptops with tiny keyboards, that our FAT fingers, that are not too limber after over 60 years of working with hammers and rivet guns. [What did you say?]
I'll try to insert a few titles for thr pix; somewhat decompressing now.
My friend, who has one of the bikes in the photo mix Ray submitted, left yesterday.
After having his previous record that he wanted to bump up smeared by 15 or so MPH, then waiting 1 1/2 hours Tues. only to be told to go back and re-register, he considered the best part of the BUB meet is seeing it recede in the rear view mirror.
This, after sitting at prestage, on the front row for 5 1/2 hours Sunday; interminable waits Monday while every excuse one can dream of came down from on high.
"The computer died," "The radio died." "We can't print out the time slip for your first run of the day." "No, we don't send a for-runner to check the equipment," as any other racing venue might do. Olympic skiing, anyone?
Dennis keeps bragging about 10 year's experience; why does it get worse instead of better?
This crazy critter is from Sodium Distortion crew in Bellingham, Wa.
Rider lies prone; 2 motors, an 80 and 83cc.
Frame is all bolted together 1/2 or 5/8" aluminum slabs.
Really different steering setup.
Looks like you would be grabbing a steer by its horns; but just slight wrist movement changes direction thru complex gear system.That way ones elbows don't get exposed to the vicious 60MPH or so slip stream.
My buddy says a cup of coffee at Salt Flats "C" store and a left turn onto I-80 is like a "Get out of jail free card."
More, later,
Jim
