Gee Darth, I could have saved you a whole lot of trouble if you'd have asked.
Ah, that's OK DIZZY, no prob.

But no comment on the content or message huh? How "telling".

And thanks for moving "Eye Candy" to "The Obits" section...that's where it belongs now.

Thanks for posting the news Bobby.
I passed this on to a number of guys who new "Hogman".

For those who didn't know him, Paul "Hogman" Stephenson was a hell of a road racer and flat track race racer in Texas in the 60's, 70's and maybe 80's.
Correct me where I'm wrong Bobby.

Geechie - I was was going to go once only, just to say I'd done it and to see the show. After being there about 15 minutes it was obvious to me I would be back...it is very addictive. I've been there 7 times but can't go anymore because of a UV sensitive skin condition (Vitiligo). Now I'm just pisse...

Hey guys -
Let's not take this "Peckerhead Section" any further.
Like Pat I'm not interested...but likely for different reasons.
If anyone wants to know why, PM me or email at: [email protected]

Hey Ian - So what's with you Kiwi's and fast motorcycles? First Burt Munro, then John Britten and some others I can't recall...does everyone there go really, REALLY fast on home-built bikes? I've always heard New Zealand is motorcycle paradise, must be so. It's good to hear the Kiwis like the movie....

Doug - I have decided to move - and look - forward rather than backwards and am willing to let this pile of slanted, self-serving half-truths go. Except where you say: I think its slightly inappropriate to drag Dallara through a public display like this. I decided to post this in response as clearly...
