First the Cajun Navy, now the Redneck Army

Doing good.

That pretty blue truck looks like a Hilux, I was sold by the ‘by truck’ post below already.

As you may have heard, MotoGP is having glory years here. It’s witnessing a collision of genius level talent by a few riders.

OK, my fave rider below, Jorge Lorenzo. Genius, imo, having a bad year figuring out the new Ducati after years of mastery of his past Yamaha. He switched for the money, the richest rider contract ever. He’s called the smoothest rider who ever lived (in contrast to his abrasive and volatile personality) and feared by all

Even feared by potentially the greatest rider of all time, young Marc Marquez. He’s the master of the bold move, with his best years ahead of him. IMO the only person who can beat him consistently ahead will be Jorge Lorenzo

So it looks like Marc was going to do his usual thing and rob the field in the last few laps when his engine blew

Oh no, Iannone crashes with another rider again. Loved by all, he just can’t stop doing this and it has sadly cost him his best sponsors. He got booted by Ducati and is now on the slower Suzuki

This was the battle out front, Rossi, Dovizioso, Vinales

Dovizioso passes senior statesman Rossi braking into a sweeping corner

And holds it for the win

Rider standings, only 13 points separate the top 3. This is really surprising. He’s not only anybody’s top 4 list. But with Rossi having tyre difficulty in the last laps all year, Marquez crashing, Lorenzo not liking his bike, and Vinales not showing flair, Dovizioso may win the year, sneaking up the inside with superb consistency that no one else is showing

Here’s Jay’s story, copied from her GoFundMe page:

Dear friends, as many of you know, my daughter Kezia was born blind in her right eye…..We have recently discovered that her vision in her left eye is deteriorating…I am desperately trying to take her to the USA to visit a consultant to get a clear prognosis & to hopefully save the remaining sight she has in her left eye.
She is now 12 years old with ambitions to become a software developer.
Our sight is so precious and we are terrified of her becoming blind at such a young age.
Every day counts for her at this stage….and we would be grateful for any donation to help get her to see the consultant she desperatly needs to see as soon as possible.

Jay is a single mom. So please, if you have a moment, please go to her GoFundMe link here and help a bit if you can:  EYESIGHT

Organizing photos today. Here’s the first longer ride out of Canada, October 2011, two weeks in Washington, Idaho and Montana. Photo over my shoulder by the best passenger I’ve ever had, faster was always better, Sheila M. Pre-GPS days. Man, what a skinny handlebar

Dropping the bike never phased her. Street tires weren’t helpful

The BMW 1200GS gets a lot of heat from some, but the thing is a continent crusher. It can double the comfortable day distance of the HP2.

And, all of a sudden he realized why he raced bikes.
