The wife thinks that a camera for the bike is a swell idea, so I've now got a Fly 12 CE inbound... and, even better, the purchase didn't come out of my bike crap funds.

My wife was ambivalent. I believe her thinking is that she's mainly interested in my safety and the camera doesn't affect that. As for the rest, she's financially secure, I've got long-term care insurance, and she's not the vindictive type.
Still thinking about it and I'm much more worried about my Six.

Hope you never have to use it.

I could have sworn I made a post a little earlier today but now can't find it. Well, it does seem to be that sort of day. It is gray and gloomy and the rest of the week looks the same. It is so bad I began to set the bike up on the trainer and the outlook has to be awful for me to do that. So on this gray contemplative day, here is a piece of contemplative music by a Ukrainian guitarist.

A cheerful reminder on a gloomy day, coming soon to a garden near you. Hopefully.

When I was hauling the race car, I don't think I ever came home from that part of the country via Anchorage.

Eventually you'll want to run software that won't run on Win 7, that is when you need to consider an upgrade.

It is so nice out right now. These are the times I think I could learn to be a xerocole.

But getting back into racing shape has been tough. I lost muscle, gained an alarming amount of fat, and fitness went to squat zero. I got back into fairly decent shape by Thanksgiving and then the dachsund field trial season started and Puppy Love was on such a roll that I had to go with that. Its very time consuming, I was probably out rabbiting with the dogs 3-4 hours per week and the trials and hunt tests are literally sun up to sun down, for 8 weekends from right after Thanksgiving to mid Feb. Eats up a lot of training time, plus it trashes your legs being out in the field all day. So now I am back to only slightly better than squat zero fitness with my first race coming up. Oy.
What happened to you? I assume a bike crash?!

If you look how thick a C5 wings are and how much area they actually take up, they produce a hell of a lot of lift at slow airspeed.
