Support Our Troups!

[Asp Man]

Because they support us!

I'm with our people over there 100%.

I went to Afghanistan just after the war started (not as a soldier....) - what a mess. It's a beautiful country but much of the infrastructure was destroyed or at least decayed. The country could use our help.

I hope that every soldier we send there finds value in what they did, and that they all come back happy and healthy.

It's wierd. 20 years ago I wouldn't have bought an American made vehicle for nothing. Now I have an AM General, a Harley-Davidson, a Dodge and a Buick (stock car).

Out of 8 vehicles I don't have any brand duplicates either. It's not intentional - it's just how it ended up.
Yamaha, Suzuki, Harley, AM General, Dodge, Mazda and Buick.

I still don't have the bike - it's in transit from the factory.

Just seems like every other vehicle you own is a dedicated weapon of choice for one activity or another, whereas the Cross Bones seems like it's dedicated to cruising from one watering hole to another.

Are you gonna try to get a lap time out of it this year? Cause that would be awesome to see.

I'm there for that

Lap time....

Well, in 2009 I set a goal of a lap time better than 80 seconds - 1:20. I made it to 1:19.5.

Since then I've only had a handful of laps in the 1:19's. The track is getting rougher and rougher every year.

I'm not sure if I can beat it but I'll try. If I get the right day, with good tires and brakes it just might happen.

There's a problem though. Everyone wants a ride. I have no problem with that, but every time I give a ride it moves me further away from a faster lap. I go quick with a passenger but I never push it. So in terms of fast laps, they're wasted laps. Plus it puts your 'calibration' off a bit when you get used to carrying that extra weight.

Right now I'm happy with my lap time. No one in a stock car has beat it nor has anyone with a street legal car.

Who knows though?

Time will tell!

OK. On Tuesday night I did some laps (well... A lap) at Race City on the Harley.

It was fun but far from fast.

When I pulled into the pits several folks commented on the 'scraping noises'.

It's a fun bike, but it's no Gixxer!
