Just thought I'd share with my closest friends. I just won the AMA's contest to be a moto-journalist for a day. They're gonna send me to the Yamaha Champions Riding School and I get to write an article about the experience and do a web video about it too. WOOOHOOO! I'm a winner! Here's a link to the video portion of my entry which helped me win: http://s628.photobucket.com/albums/uu6/guymanbro/AMA%20moto-journalist%20for%20a%20day%20contest/?action=view¤t=TumuRockmoto-journalist.flv> Too bad I can't ride my KLR at the Yamaha school.

Nope. It's a road racing school. I basically told them in my entry that I've spent 99% of my ten+ years of riding on dual sport machines but dirt riding is supposed to be a good background for road racing. And they bought it! The school bikes are R6s and FZ1s. We'll see how it goes. da Vermonster

Tumu Rocks!  The next Steve Allen!   I used to be a heavy gambler. But now I just make mental bets. That's how I lost my mind. If there is a God, the phrase that must disgust him is - holy war. In a rational society we would want our presidents to be teachers. In our actual society we insist they be cheerleaders. One of the nice things about problems is that a good many of them do not exist except in our imaginations. Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances. The hair is real - it's the head that's a fake. Totalitarianism is patriotism institutionalized. R
