1993 Honda CBR 900 RR
Sat Feb 2, 2008
Much to my dismay I am selling my black Honda CBR 900 RR. Asking price is $5,000.00 O.B.O. Modifications include a custom paint job, powder coated wheels jet kit and pipe.. The bike has 52,000 miles on it. This past week I put on 2 new tires and new rear brakes. If you know anyone interested plese have them contact me.
Thanks

Driving In the Lake
Sun Jun 25, 2006
Note: Check out the pictures on the left.
This past Sunday, I attended the 34th Annual Lake Afton All Wheels Show in Wichita, KS, with the rest of the Motortopia crew. This show is billed as the largest free open-air car show in the United States. Among the 3,000 or so cars that were there was one lone Amphicar.
Those of you not familiar with the Amphicar, they were built between 1961 and 1968. In all, less than 4,000 were built.
I found the owner of the 1964 Amphicar that was in the show and asked him if he ever took it out in the lake. He said "of course" so I asked him if he was going to take it out that day. He said "sure," and when I asked him when, he said "how about right now?" I said "sure!" and we hopped in the car.
We drove down to the boat ramp, and after a 30-second "pre-flight" check, we drove right into the lake. It was surreal!
We cruised across the lake, and let me tell you, does that car get stares! I mean, come on, what would you think if you saw a car cruising through the lake?
It was a total blast! After a short while, we turned around and drove right up the boat ramp out of the water.
That is one ride I will never forget.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE MUSCLE CAR ERA FOR ME WAS IN MAY OF 1969
MY FIRST COUSIN KIETH BOOTH HAD JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AND HAD BEEN ACCEPTED TO LOUISIANA BIBLE COLLEGE TO STUDY TO BE A MINISTER. AFTER CHURCH ON SUNDAY THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHURCH PICNIC AT FORD HILL TO HONOR HIM AND OTHERS FROM HIS CHURCH THAT HAD GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL.
THE MINISTERS SON ALSO GRADUATED AND WAS GOING GO TO THE SAME COLLEGE.THE MINISTER HAD BOUGHT HIM A BRAND NEW 1969 GTO JUDGE AND SUPPRISED HIM THAT MORNING AFTER CHURCH
WELL OF COURSE ALL HIS FRIENDS HAD TO RIDE WITH HIM TO THE PIC NIC SO 5 OF THE BOYS GOT IN TO THE NEW CAR
KIETH WAS SEATED ON THE BACK RIGHT SIDE.
WHEN THEY LEFT THE CHURCH AUNT SIS AND UNCLE ALFRED WERE BEHIND THEM THEY WERE NOT SPEEDING.
THE ROAD THEY WERE ON WAS BUILT UP KINDA LIKE A LEVEE CROSSING A SWAMP
THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON THE CAR BLEW OUT AND THE CAR CAREENED OFF THE ROAD AND FLIPPED ONE TIME AND CAME TO A STOP 4 OF THE KIDS GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND NONE WERE SERIOUSLY HURT. BUT KIETH WAS ON THE GROUND AT THE FOOT OF THE LEVEE THAT THE ROAD WAS ON HE WAS TALKING AND MOVING HIS HANDS WHEN HIS MOTHER GOT THERE BUT HE LATER DIED IN HIS MOTHERS ARMS WHILE WAITING FOR AN AMBULANCE
THE LOCAL DEALER THAT PREPPED THE CAR FOR DELIVERY HAD PUT WAY TO MUCH AIR IN THE TIRES
CAUSING THE BIAS TIRE TO BLOW THE HEADLINE IN THE LOCAL PAPER THE NEXT MORNING READ KILLER MUSCLE CARS TAKE ANOTHER LIFE. CAR OR OPERATION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

Accidents banished from Highway Code
Mon Sep 10, 2007
An article in the Times of May 12th 2007 observed that the word "accident" has been removed from the latest edition of the Highway Code and replaced by "collision", "crash" or "incident".
The reason appears to be that describing something as an "accident" the driver feels less responsible as they are considered unavoidable, while using these alternative words encourages drivers to see the incident as a fact for which someone is responsible.
Some motoring groups have, however, claimed that the change will "foster a blame culture and encourage the prosecution of drivers for casualties that they had no intention of causing."
Some police forces refer to RTCs (road traffic collisions) rather than the more common RTA (road traffic accident.)
* Do you agree that the choice of vocabulary in this case reflects the way we view road traffic incidents?
* Is there a neutral term we can use?
* What other examples can you find of terminology which colours a listener's attitude towards an idea, a thing or an event? Consider the difference between "freedom fighters" and "terrorists" or "chubby" and "obese". Is this the same as political correctness (crippled / handicapped / disabled), (black / negro / colored), (chairman / chair / chairperson)?

Christmas Wish List
Fri Dec 7, 2007
What do you wish for? Besides world peace, I thought this engine doubling as a table and wine rack was pretty cool :)
only in Iowa...
Thu Jul 6, 2006
So, I travel to Formula 1 each year, from Lincoln NE to Indianapolis, IN. A 10 hour venture that entails a 300 mile trek across Iowa. If you are ever looking for a four hour mind-numbing experience, just take a trip along I-80 though Iowa, you will get your every wish. It has to be the most boring scenery and extensive monotony one can endure.
Iowa is not without its moments though, oh no. As I am travelling back to Nebraska, I am making my way though Des Moines making sure not to take any wrong turns. (I made that mistake two years ago, extending my stay at least 30 mins before getting back on track.) So, as I'm leaving Des Moines, I need to make a gas station stop. I find a gas station exit on the west end of town and pull off I-80 onto a six-lane divided street. However, I am unable to find a gas station nearby, so I end up travelling about a mile down the road before I find a Kum-and-Go gas station. On the left side of the road are a bunch of blockades and people with flashlights signaling cars not to enter. I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but the gas station is off to the right so no worries for me.
So here I am, 10:30 PM on July 2nd in Des Moines Iowa pumping fuel into my car. And you won't believe what begins to happen next. A fireworks display across the street begins to go off, maybe 60 yards from where I stood. And this isn't some backyard display either, it is a major event display with some high-dollar mortar shells. Almost immediately, pieces of mortar shell start falling all around me, sounding like plastic beads bouncing off the pavement. Is this happening? What if a burning ember comes down? What if a mortar shell doesn't reach its altitude, and sprays sparks into the fumes coming from my gas pump? I wasn't interested in finding out. I stopped pumping and got away from that station as soon as I could, in fear for my life. What also surprised me was the other people pumping gas. They had no worries, they just stood by their cars and watched the pretty fireworks.
All kinds of things came to mind. How could they get a permit to put a display right next to such a busy street, let alone a gas station? Only in Iowa, was my only guess.

NASCAR official killed in accident near Charlotte

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Brienne Davis, a 28-year-old NASCAR official, died Tuesday night as a result of an automobile accident on Interstate 77 in Huntersville, N.C., north of Charlotte.
Heading northbound, Davis drove onto the shoulder in a pickup truck and collided with another vehicle, according to reports from the scene. Her truck flipped after the impact and split into two. Davis was airlifted to a local hospital where she later died.
Davis paved the way for females within NASCAR with her knowledge and no-holds-barred attitude. Originally from Louisiana, she entered the sport in 2002 after attending an automotive program in Houston. Once she relocated to the Charlotte area, she began working as an engine builder for Dale Earnhardt Inc. She joined NASCAR in 2004 as an official in the Sprint Cup Series inspecting carburetors.
"She had a lot of expertise," NASCAR spokesperson Ramsey Poston said Wednesday. "She was an important part of the team. As a female, even more so. It is rare to have female inspectors, though we hope to have more. Her presence as a person and a friend to all of the officials in the garage is going to be missed."
John Darby, who oversees Cup officials as director of the series, could not be reached Wednesday. Darby, along with most NASCAR officials, was en route to Phoenix, Ariz., for this weekend's Sprint Cup and Nationwide series races at Phoenix International Raceway, where Davis was scheduled to work.
"She was someone who did her job very well," Poston said from NASCAR's office in Daytona Beach, Fla. "She was also someone who was quick with a smile. She loved Johnny Cash and Elvis. A lot of times if people saw her in the garage, she would be wearing an Elvis belt. That all will be missed."
Davis spent nearly three seasons working in the engine department at DEI. She worked alongside Richie Gilmore, now the vice president of motorsports for the company. Davis joined DEI during NASCAR's early efforts into diversity, and Gilmore said she distinguished herself in the male-dominated field.
"She demanded respect," Gilmore said. "The guys knew if they crossed her, she would whip them. She commanded that with her work ethic. She didn't want any special treatment. She carried her workload. She ran our teardown department and helped set up a lot of the organization that we still have today.
"The big thing with her, when she came [to DEI] she brought a lot of energy. She was such a team player, a great person to work with. It's such a huge loss at such a young age. Everybody here is saddened today, and we miss her."
The End
WE WILL MISS HER

Help - I am drowning in car shows - LOL!!!
Tue Dec 4, 2007
Hi All,
I am "Happy" to report that it was another successful weekend here in sunny South Florida with beautiful weather, a great car cruise and two fantastic car shows.
Friday evening started it all off with the usual cruise-in at the Tower Shops in Davie, followed by a bite to eat with a few of the guys at the Falcon Pub.
Saturday morning I was up early to head on over to the S.A.B.A. Car Show on Andrews Avenue in Ft. Lauderdale. S.A.B.A. stands for the South Andrews Business Association and they put on a great show from 9:00 until 4:00 with 142 cars and trucks attending.
Saturday evening was dinner out at Stevie B's in Weston - an awesome place for ribs!!!
Sunday I was up early once again and headed over to the BIG show. The last real car show of the year, and the biggest. I was out of the house at 6:15 and headed over to meet up with a few buddies to drive on over to the show. It is held at the Festival Marketplace Mall in Pompano Beach and was attended by 610 cars and trucks. I was joined by 12 other members of the Got Muscle? Car Club along with my girl Tina from MFI. The day was awesome, although a little tiring, what with all the walking around...
I wrapped up Sunday at a small cruise-in at a Bar & Grille by the name of Zo's and was finally home and in bed at 11:30...
God I hope this week goes slow enough to get caught up at the office, yet quick enough to get to the weekend...

Scotty left this world today at 330+ MPH winning a race at his home town track
He left this world a legend in funny car racing. He has to many accomplishments in his 46 years with us to list
Ive seen a lot of tough men cry today but racing will continue on tomorrow and somehow with heavy hearts and I'm sure the winner will dedicate the race to scotty and there will be tears of joy for the winner and I am also certain that that is what scott would want.
We all know the risks and we will continue to take them because racing gets into your blood and once your hooked its hard to just stop. Remember scott had retired twice but returned because he loved it so much
My prayers will go out to his family and crew but I will also be watching the races because thats what the race fans should do
it would be our best way to honor scotty

Challenges - Waste of Time or ?
Wed Mar 26, 2008
Hello all...
I am concerned about some of the groups on this site making challenges a total waste of time. Their members select cars to challenge and then all of the members of the club are instructed to vote for the club member's car, even if the car that's been challenged is far superior to some of their rust buckets. This is not why this site was setup. I, along with many others, shouldn't have to tolerate this type of behavior.
I would be interested in hearing from everyone else on this subject...

A few of you have been writing to me and I want you to know I really appreciate your prayers and concerns. Life has been so tuff on me the last few months. Last year at this time my sister in law (my dear dear friend, sissy) was just recovering from a coma from a car accident. Seems like Dec, Jan, Feb are my challanging months.
Dad is paralized on one side now his cancer has twisted into the vertebrea of his neck. Of course it is everywhere in every organ as it is. I don't think and I kind of hope because I watch the pain that it will not drag on another few months.
I have been back and forth got opinions in Colorado and back here at Cleveland Cllinic I have still not decided on what to do with my health issue. I'm very scared it will be my 7th surgery on my back since I was 17. MRSA is very high in the hospitals, my chances of paralization are getting higher, and I have a lot of scare tissue as it is and very very low immune system from the other physical challanges I have. I will be making a decision in the next few weeks. It depends on my father also. But I cannot hardly stand the pain f breathing any longer it hurts way too much and the pounds are dropping.
I love the fact you know nme already as just Susie the girl with the red corvette. I was once told many years ago, do you want to be known as the girl with handicaps or Susie the you, you see. I said I have no handicaps. The Dr. may say different and people too, but noit to me I can do anything I put my mind to it. (always have been a dare=devil/) LOL
I hope you enjoy my photo of my sissy (sister) and I.
Hugs to All!!!

"Happy Valentines Day to all of you and know that I thought of my friends here today" I'm on my way to spend the day with my mom and dad yesterday ws a very poor day with both, mom is losing weight with worry and shaking more with parkensons due to the emotional toll it is taking on her. Dad is awake approximately 45 minutes to an hour now only ..during the day. He has quit eating he may take some applesauce with his 33 pills but he won't eat anymore his eyes are lifeless. Thank you to all who have listened or read my letters, its been my release from the reality of lfe here.
I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do. It was taken at Christmas it is my dad and my little boy..(my little son is 6'3" 200 pounds and he works out all the time runs always, very sports-minded and is a honor roll student or a Deans list student at times in Industrial management with chemical degree background, he will be 27 soon) . He will graduate in June of 2009 , yes he like others goofed off a bit in the beginning. Has quite the resume now with ~ helping the cancer fight raising money through student teaching at the college he attends. So anyone looking in their business in the future please let me know he is looking were the money and insurance will take him and thats his goal.
*My father has lost about 55 -65 pounds since that photo. And doesn't even look like the same man. He is very proud of his grandson it's great to see the success your children have accomplished and I am pleased that dad has seen my son in his full element of happiness towards a wonderful future with lots of loans to pay back...(lol) He is not too proud to start at the lower end of a job and learn more he speaks that you can never learn enough.
Hugs to all
