The AMA Does NASCAR

According to this press release from the AMA concerning fuel inconsistencies in Supercross fuel samples (Holy petroleum Batman, shades of 2006!) it's now okay to cheat your tits off until April 15th, and then we're gonna' do something else. Probably something else stupid. No sense mucking up our track record.....

Nobody Has Just One.....

Today let's have a moment of silence as we note the passing of Robert Alder, the co-inventor of the remote control.....an article from the BBC is HERE.

My buddy Brian holds the record as far as I know, he has about ten remotes scattered about the TV room. I never know which one to use or what the hell is going to happen whenever I punch a button on one of his. Sometimes I'm not sure he does either!

Gettin' Close

If you'll remember, the last time we talked our current Maico 250 victim was in the stage of the project where you put it together and then take it apart four times.

What you see here is the final fittment of body parts and suspension. Next up will be controls, brakes (brakes are nice!) and making a new set of cables. The engine is currently scattered on a bench like last autumns leaves. We gettin' to that soon.....
