Abode of Clarus

Well, I'll admit I've been trying to write a post for some time, and haven't had much time to sit down and write, photograph something of value. I think I owe it to a few people to at least give a 'safe arrival' / State of the Union speach.

You know, each time I go to Heathrow I see something new. This one caught me completely off guard. I mean, it makes sense, bringing a dead, de-feathered, partially slaughtered bird though customs could provide some sort of problem to the public health. Thanks to Her Majesties Revenue and Customs you now can see that it is bad.

It's just neat to pick up on the little differences in culture. Here's one that I particulalry enjoy. You know those little carnival rides where they strap you into a 3 axis box with a tv in front of you and send you reeling around? Well they had one of those set up in Portsmouth a few weekends ago. The topic? a Yamaha 750cc Superbike ride over 150 mph!

I'll admit I was very close to shelling out the £2.50 for it, but I didn't want to be the only person over the age of 15 riding it. If only Vadim was there.

So I posted this to Nesba, there are a few more facets to the story that I'll tell when the time comes.

Well Nesba, I promised a post back from my last track day in Early April... It seems so long ago since I last got to ride.

For those of you who don't know, or don't happen to miss me, I've been in the UK for the past month with no hope of return until anything north of VIR is covered in snow. I decided as a nice treat I can let you in on a few differences between your world of harleys and sunshine and my world of Aprilias and rain. Things are pretty neat over here, but nothing quite compares to hanging out with the nesbians at the track, so I find it quite lacking.

How come no one ever told me this before! Granted it's no Lotus or Ferarri, but I'm happy enough with a crappy little four door Kia. So now you know, I'm famous!

Honestly, what the heck does this mean? I have no clue. It was enough to warrent pulling off the road to grab this shot though.
