So what's new?
Well my bloody teeth hurt again.
i know it's kinda stereotyping about us brits having bad teeth but bloody hell I'm sick of this.
I just had to spend 170 at the dentist. Bastard.
Anyway, Racing. Just over a week to go before the next one. I'm a bit nerous about it as my business partner is in Austalia so I'm running...

I didn't get back to TN today yet as planned. That only leaves me 3 days at best at mom's...DAMNIT!!
It sux because if I drive to NC then I don't have anywhere to store my car when I leave for iraq. If fly in, there's no one to pick me up at the airport or even to drop me off in Nashville.
People suck when you need a favor.
I'll call if I get to my mom's...k?
If not, I'll have my computer here next week to use instead of this public one.

I had a call on Friday morning, "can you come to the Isle of Man TT, tonight and stay the week!"
flight & accomadation paid for, plus expenses & win bonus? how could i say no?

wow....what an odyssey....still there's some good data to get from that race: the bike works well, no ? i mean firing 3 instead of 4 is an ECU issue, but it seems (from the report) that the overall level of the bike is good !
have a good rest !

oh, yes, I finally spend a day aboard a 2004 Gixxer....man, that thing shouldn't be legal it's totally awesome and crazy...Such a bullet.....i wouldn't buy one cos I'm an italian twin lover but i can see why people think this bike is the shit....I just had problems with the suspensions numbing too much the feel of the road, but that's because i'm used to very feedbacky front end.....
great bike !

The Weathermen sounds probably too electronic for you (cf your faves bands) but it ain't techno. It's warped rock music played by synths, it's been described as Devo meets the Happy Mondays and they cover Einturzende Neubauten songs (Neubauten is a german band playing only with metal things found in scrapeyards...)
you can listen to musical (?) extracts on www.cdbaby.com/weathermen and if you wanna buy one it's rather cheap with post i think it would cost you about 15 Euros !!!!
I can't wait to try the GSXR...Last time i was on a bike was Laguna Seca innovember and I don't know how I can still go on with any withdrawal symptoms...
ok, got to start the day now ciao !

*shakes head* that sux! I know the feeling, but not quite on that scale.
Sounds like you have some serious problems with your riders though. Are they paid? do they pay? Sounds like they are on a good wicket either way, they should be maybe taking it a bit more serious/proffessional.

Need another mechanic? I'm good at fixing stuff. hahaha..(actually you know I am)
Or.... I could be your new rider. Sounds tempting doesn't it?? I'm very light and have great endurance. woohoo.
Maybe I could use some training first I'm sure.
Things will fall into place, I'm sure of it. My fortune cookie says so. Stress is what keeps us on our toes and makes that "de-stressing sex" so good! hahahahahaha.....
