Slip n Slush

Snow, something I'm familiar with. Yesterday was a blast, and like usual, some had fun and others not so much. Matsuri rules applied more so than usual as some of the locals didn't seem quite used to the lack of traction provided by the white slush below them.  There were some crashes balanced out by the awesome provided by others. Bangin' and grinding, a few explosions as well. The pictures really give the story.   [gallery columns="2" orderby="title"]

My post counts have been dropping dramatically, and my other fellow contributers have basically stopped themselves. Recently I've had some conversations with people while out having some fun. The...

Capital Punishment

Yesterday was Torture. To others a great time, with big tandems, sections of rain, and mostly good, dry, cool sun.   Many hit the wall, that was their punishment. I had my own punishment. For some drifting is another fun pass time they can do here and there, share with their friends, etc. I think about it almost all moments of the day, and try my best to help others get their cars and lives in order. It's hard to watch, it's tough to listen to, and...
