So, yeah... it's been four years since I last posted and I really don't think anyone reads this anymore. I mean, who would.
What's interesting is reading my post after so long has given me perspective on what I wrote. Most of it was crap. A lot of "look at me. I am such a hard ass!" What horse-shit! What an annoying self-important, self-congratulating arse.

I've known for a long time that I can be grating and hard to like. There are certain kinds of people that pretty much hate me from the git-go. I've learned to accept that and I just try to avoid those people.

I generally don't like me, either, and after reading some of those inane posts, I am reminded why.

Anyway, I am not going to bore my non-existent readers with more "poor-me" crap...at least for a while. I have a lot of self-deprecation I need to do, but that's another post.

Since I posted last, a lot has happened. Some good and some bad.
Suzy and I got married. Like that was a surprise. What's nice is that I really enjoyed my wedding! It was fun! As you might expect, Suzy never looked lovelier. We spent a week in Catalina, total. Half before and the rest after the actual wedding. Got to know some of my new relatives-in-law. Generally, I like them. There was one or two people that I could do without, but really, I got off easy.

I fell out of racing, mainly because I wasn't fit enough anymore and too lazy to train. Honestly, I just couldn't do it anymore. Twenty-three years or so. That's how long I've been...correction....was a bike racer. Never that good at it either. Except possibly tracking racing. That seemed to come a lot easier. I just wish I had gotten into it sooner and gotten serious about it sooner. Should have just accepted what I already knew, I'm too ADHD to be any good at road racing.

I don't even ride anymore. I have something like $10,000 in bikes that just gather dust.

I'm totally fat. I well north of 200lbs. I drink too much and I just don't fucking care.

I can't believe I didn't post about the house Suzy and I bought in the summer of 2008! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?? (WTF). The biggest purchase of my life and I have to say is I was a dumb ass on a bike that is obviously too much for me? See why people don't like me?

The house is nice. The garage kinda sucks as it's small. But it's *my* garage.

I got so serious about motorcycles for a good while. I think in 2009 I did something like 8-9 track days. A handful in 2010. I basically stopped because I got too damn fat for my one piece track suit. How pathetic is that?

I got a 2009 Aprilia RS125 on a whim. It's a real two stroke, but despite what Aprilia says about it, it's really a woefully under-powered RS250. But I got it set up fairly well. I retro fitted a GSXR 600 front end and make it work pretty well. I used the stock wheel and only one GSXR caliper. I had to design a couple of parts to make it work, but I do have a mechanical engineering degree. I should be able to manage that.

I even got a vintage Honda CB750. Got a pretty good deal. $700. It truly was an ugly POS when I got it. Suzy thought I went completely bat guano. I mean look at it. 

It took a bit, but I was able to get it running pretty well. Oh, and I got rid of that ball-buster of a seat. After my wife started busting my balls about riding it in the gay pride parade, I repainted the tank.

It turned out pretty well.

But then, very abruptly, I just lost interest. It's just happened one day and all of a sudden I was over it. Over motorcycles. I put it on craigslist and sold it for $1500. I think I broke even, but just...and that didn't include my labor. But that's fine since that's kinda why I got it.

All of a sudden, I was back into RC airplane. Oh, and boy, do I mean into it.

Geezus, I have so many fucking airplanes now.

Ok, so this post is going on and on. Next time, I'll talk about my latest obsession and how useless it really is. But I think I need to write some more about other stuff. So,  non-existent readers who probably don't like me much anyway...there's more drivel to come. Stay tuned.
