Yes. He is in charge of the NASRA Drag Races and was the one to award me 1st place. He is at every Race and does a phenomenal job.

No new photos since the riding season hasn't really sprung yet this year. Here are some recycled photos. This is probably too many but you asked for it. 8)

Sadly the Buddy is all apart now getting a new engine, so I took a few minutes to snap some of one of my Vespas.

Not sure you're going to be able to fit all that ordinance in the pet carrier. Maybe there's a market for scooter gun racks after all! :D

All good here in St. Louis City. The outlying burbs, especially the airport area, got hammered, but all in all there were no fatalities and few injuries, thanks to good warning. Somewhere north of 2000 buildings were damaged.

Now if it would only stop raining. Today marks a solid week. It would be nice to get out and ride a little.

I need to get me some of this!!!!It would really make the right impression on a neighbor whose kiddies used my 3 windows and aluminum siding for pallet gun target practice while we were away.I am sure they will see reason and pay for the damages as soon as they change their wet diapers :twisted:

I thought I had seen that stripe/number before. And I'm talking about the original Disney flick, not the remake.

They actually had a painted-up VW Bug in the theater where I saw it, and this was in a small town (36,000) in Kentucky in, what, 1969 or '70?

I saw HGtMC in the theaters. I haven't seen it since, but I recall think it was pretty awesome at the time.

(Pretty sure many teens/20somethings feel the same about Phantom Menace.)

I guess I'm showing my age, but Herbie?

Now maybe if Herbie (or I) were modified...
