Mooneyes land speed team

Last year at SCTA Chico went 219+mph on his first pass, but snapped a valve on the second.
He is back this year hoping to go 220+ & getting into the ‘two club’ and claim the record last year he came so close to obtaining.
Of course the first day of rain I’ve seen in months is the day the racers arrive.
Bonneville is unpredictable, but I benefit from visits of bored racers killing time.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE YOUTH OF TODAY

 ”THE PROBLEM WITH THE YOUTH OF TODAY, IS THAT ONE IS NO LONGER PART OF IT” Salvador Dali

As I write this, on yellow double spaced lined paper, with a pen and ink in long hand cursive, Cyril Huze celebrates the 5th year, to the day, of his Blog. It will be a good measurement to see from the time I finish this evening, fold the paper, stuff the envelope, lick it, stamp it and send it to Agoura in the morning, to the time you read what I have to written. It may end up being the single greatest reason he claims, “In only 4 days, this blog has more readers than the largest American V-Twin print magazine.”  Am I addressing an obsolete audience? Perhaps, but I am part of it. I am here, and here I will remain. I have loved everything motorcycling for so long, that I have no 401K, but a collection of old two wheeler I intend on pawning when old & feeble, if I must endure to the end. I understand progression, from stone tablet, to metal plate, on to papyrus, then bound printed material, until we reach the words that only appear on a screen when our gadget is powered up and working properly.

Tate & Lyles’s Golden Syrup

“Out of the strong came forth the sweet” is a quote from Samson in Judges.
While reading Christopher Dawes ‘Rat Scabies and the Holy Grail’, he made reference to his favorite sweet and tied it into the coincidences that occurred during his quest.
He also mentions the red mini concept.

I remember may pops wearing one of these tees.
I liked the two scenes as a kids, and just saw one recently, and still think it is outstanding

…in the middle of the road…

…in my own private cul-de-sac…
Yucca Lane, Thousands Oaks Calif.
The oak tree in middle of the tarmac, made for a perfect turn around pillion when I ran my 1/4 midget up and down the lane as a wee boy.
