Took my son out and thrashed around on the gator. Fun times.

Relaxed & recovered from a long day out at the Great Dorset Steam Fair yesterday. Over 600 acres of exhibits so didn't quite manage it all!
Great day out & good company too!

Have also booked 2 nights away for brighton Speed Trials next weekend!
Can't wait (pre birthday treat)

I went to the track for the first time to watch a "Track Attack" day...very cool...I don't think I want to be that tough on my bike, but it was cool to watch...the person I was there with was really excited for next season...she just bought a 2011 ZX6R...she's been riding a Ninja 250 this year and has two track sessions on that and obviously caught the bug...now she has a bike that is more suited to the speeds that she wants to hit...although I hope she practices more on the Ninja, to get a better feel for the track before going out on a more serious bike...

Here's a pic I took...(I didn't remember to take out the camera until just before I left...duh!!)
We were at Stratotech Park in Fort Saskatchewan, AB...



Later.

Today I started working on all the maintenance work on Maggie that I could think of. I rebuilt the calipers and master cylinder as well as the clutch hydraulics. I figured since its an 84 so new rubber parts would be a good idea. I have to get some differential lube and change that tomorrow. She stops so EASY and smooth now. I am planning on taking it on a 2000 miles trip in the next couple months and want everything just right. With my new fairing and saddleman double bucket seat it should be pretty nice for traveling. I am still hoping to find a sissy bar and cargo rack before the trip.

Wow, the NHL has taken a beating this summer...


RIP, all those that lost their lives in the Russian plane crash. My condolences go out to the families, friends and team mates of those players and staff that died in the crash.

Today I took a ride on the R1200R

(well, yesterday)

Andrea and I went to our first Football game at Wembley Stadium... 77,800 people (out of 80,000) were there. England vs. Wales. 1-0. Interesting 90 mins.

Wow! That is a huge stadium.

Today I worked and worked late. Then I drove someone to the Skytrain (commuter train like the idea of a subway but this is mostly overhead) and then went into the mall and bought a new SD card so I'll have plenty of picture taking on my holiday.

Went dove hunting for the first time. On a related note, figured out how to expend 2 hours, a box of 12 gauge shells, and many choice words just to get a small dinner on the table... But darn if it wasn't fun!
