There are a lot of great people in motorcycling, and it sounds like Mike was one of them. Though we never got a chance to meet him, he sounds like one that we would have liked to have known…unfortunately in the variety of disciplines that are within the sport, we never had the chance. Godspeed, Mike. They say a man is never taller than when he stoops to help a child. Mike Traynor was a giant among men.

The World’s Fastest Bicycle Sprint By Erich von Neff There are those that say it was the fastest bicycle sprint that there ever was. Since no official time was taken this certainly can be questioned. And there is the tendency to believe that an earlier era had some of the “right stuff” that the present lacks. Then, too, there are very few left who remember it.

Nothing really worth writing about has happened to me since my last post, other than an argument I lost with a ceiling fan that forced me to turn in my man card for 2 days (don’t bring it up). So, when the opportunity for a guest post arose, my laziness masked as philanthropy jumped on the opportunity. Also, this is a very neat story about firefighters that I know (most of ‘em) working hard and training hard towards something outside of the service (which is more interesting to me often times; sorry).

I survived my first Spooky Trail with the good people of API (Asia Paranormal Investigators). Thanks to 24Seven for organizing this events for Bloggers and Twitterers. The trail starts from Newton Circus Hawker Center at 9pm and ended in the wee hours at 2am. In total, we visited 3 eerie places and did some scientific tests to prove that spirits exist (or not). Video after the break. As you may know, 11th September is still our seventh month in the Lunar Calendar. It is also called the ghost month .

Motorcycle Accident LawyersLos Angeles Motorcycle Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer Bobby Saadian Esq. has been serving the motorcycle-riding public for years from his office in downtown LA.Typically, he sees a trend of awkward and precedent-setting accidents, collisions that he feels could have been avoided if drivers and motorcyclists alike were sharing the road with a mutual sense of awareness and compassion.However, as a motorcycle riding attorney living in Los Angeles, where the population is atypically self-involved and concerned only with their own priorities, Mr.

Miley Cyrus kicked off her much-anticipated Miley Cyrus Wonder World Tour in Portland, Oregan last night, and if there was one thing that was perfectly clear, it was that Hannah Montana is no more. Miley Cyrus sexed up her show sporting a variety of outfits which showed off her sleek legs and body, which gives us the impression that Miley’s hit a turning point in her life and career, where she’s stopped being a child actress performer, and is starting to explore her adulthood.

Day two. Oh Day two of the walk. You pretty much beat us up even more than Day one, but I’m glad we finished the whole entire walk. There were options (which we didn’t know about until after we started day one) to ‘walk however far you could’ We were kind of confused about this, since we figured you had to walk the whole thing? Well that’s what we chose to do, so we were getting it done. We woke up around 6:15 and got ready to get dropped off at the starting line for another day.

Like Samuel Pepys, Edmund Wilson and Courtney Love before me, I have kept a personal journal for many years. Some of it is online, and some of it is in various blank books with the Animaniacs on the cover. It’s rare that I look through old journals, but every now and then I’ll flip open a book or hit an old link and read about an event that I had completely forgotten. Such was the case when I read an entry from April 7, 2001 that documented my afternoon at an XFL game between the Memphis Maniax and the Las Vegas Outlaws.

I’m a bit behind! This is actually from LAST Sunday! Dave called and said he’d be going to check out the custom motorcycle show at the Harley Museun is I decided to head down on the Smitty to meet him.

Lots of bikes and Harley types walking around on what ended up being a beautiful day. There were probably 70 or so show bikes and several hundred visitors’ bikes parked on the Museum grounds.

A number of friends and acquaintances have donated books to these schools. I´ve been able to get some back to Victoria already, but there´s another load to be taken.

When it comes to choosing the right motorcycle helmet, it’s hard to decide which shape, style, and size is going to best fit your needs. Because there so many different types of helmets available today, it’s important that you research the pros and cons of each type of helmet, consider the features of each motorcycle helmet style, and then weigh all of those factors in when determining which helmet is the right one for you.

And God bless you . The Jefferson County sheriff has offered a stern response to a woman complaining she was inconvenienced by a procession accompanying a soldier’s casket. The original email was sent to Sheriff Glenn Boyer on Thursday, August 27. I tried to call you earlier this morning, but was unable to obtain your extension from the voice mail system as I was not sure of your first name or correct spelling of your last. I was inadvertently in this procession as I was leaving work on 270 from Creve Coeur and proceeding on Hwy.

The weather gods blessed us with a beautiful day to ride out to Millarville race track. If you were one of the lucky people to attend, you would have seen the bigger and better selection of vendors offering Norton, Triumph, Indian, Harley, Japanese and European bike parts. I believe this a good sign of the future for this event as we have had continuous growth and interest in the Vintage, Custom and Restoration motorcycle crowds.

“How big is it?” is certainly one of the world’s most dreaded questions.In fact, after the Million Man March in 1995, Congress restricted the National Park Service from even making estimates — a restriction that was maintained for 14 years and then quietly rescinded this January for the Obama inauguration.I’m talking about crowds, of course.

Author: JR UlderportOperating a motorcycle requires a degree of concentration and skill that surpasses that which is necessary for driving an automobile. The foundation for safe motorcycle operation is built on proper training and experience. Riding a motorcycle should not be taken lightly; you must undergo the proper preparation before ever riding by yourself. You must also ride only after you have earned the appropriate license. In most states, a special (sometimes a class M or class M1, M2 etc.) license is required to operate a motorcycle.

how it all began… this morning it occurred to me that i have been making game boards for 15 years now….it is so hard to imagine, time really moves right on by…i started to think back over the years and made myself laugh when i began at the beginning… i was living in dallas, texas then…(and honestly, a piece of my heart will always belong to texas)…i was a ferocious quilter – crafting several quilts a year…

As a rider, over the years I’ve become keenly aware that there are roads you know well and ride all the time, roads you’ve never seen but find yourself making plans to visit, and then roads that from a mere photograph have a unique power to consume your dreams — because they are not easy to get to or to conquer.

On Sept. 12, 2009 the Sacramento 4th annual Midtown Community Festival ran from 1-6 pm and depending on what time you arrived, you might think it was a slow, dull affair with little going on.  It would be a mistake to take the small crowds and slow pace between the featured bands as an indication of the level of entertainment available on Capitol Avenue between 20-21st Street.  Benefiting the Boys and Girls Club pf Greater Sacramento and sponsored by the Rubicon Brewing Co., the festival had its minor faults but the bands came alive with some astonishingly top rate sounds.  The last two bands to perform were This Old Pistol and Marshal Wilkerson and Smoked Sugar .

Shopping online for car parts , cars, equipment, manuals, repair services and the other things you need to care for your classic car has become the way to do business. If you’re looking for parts for a very old car, you might want to become familiar with some terms to help you along. Insurance companies class cars a certain way, and those designations are also used industry-wide to describe the cars. For example, Veteran vehicles are cars or vehicles that were made pre-1905.

After an exciting season which saw the championship go down to the final race, with Jakub Kornfeil nipping Sturla Fagerhaug by a mere two points, it has been announced that the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup will return for a fourth season in 2010.

What’s New – caryandtheboys.wordpress.com 09/14/2009 Jackson- Mr. Independent these days. Somehow he can get through a week of daycare without any bumps and bruises, but he always gets some injury with us. Maybe it’s the parenting. Hmm…or maybe his brother. A little of both probably. In any event, he has a huge purple knot on his forhead from where I presume he either a) ran into the door,  b) was trying to get away from his older brother swinging a pillow at him and hit the door or c) was pushed and fell into the door by said brother.

Today I rode escort on my motorcycle for a 160 km (100 mile) bike ride. It was one of a number of rides that went out to raise money for the palliative care unit of a local hospital. Organized by the Healing Cycle Foundation the 160 km was the longest of the rides and left at 6:30 am, riders had to complete the ride within 8 hours. Under a cloudy sky and cool temperatures the bikers departed, looking very much like Tour de France riders on their expensive bikes and colourful outfits and helmets.

No. 1 Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifier Matt Smith was off to a great start at the 55th annual U.S. Nationals at Raceway Park at Indianapolis, an event he won in 2006. Riding the Nitro Fish Ultimate Gear Suzuki for Don Schumacher Racing, he first dismissed Junior Pippin in the opening round with the second quickest pass of that stanza, a 6.984-second lap at 188.86 mph, then met up with Douglas Horne in the quarterfinal round.

By Dahr Jamail. Republished from TruthOut “Throughout history, culture and art have always been the celebration of freedom under oppression.” – Author unknown Soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have tough truths to tell, and it has been well demonstrated that the establishment media does not want to broadcast these. Given the lack of an outlet for anti-war voices in the corporate media, many contemporary veterans and active-duty soldiers have embraced the arts as a tool for resistance, communication and healing.
