Little ride

Friday night was spent at the South Toms River High School watching Jessica perform the half time show with the marching band. It was fun I'm proud of her and it was a social  event. I seen half a Dozen people I knew there. Which I find pretty amazing considering I go through great lengths to avoid most people. Low and behold there was people there that I actually liked to converse with.
     Went for a little ride Sunday with  Dan, Tony, Rod and myself. Nothing spectacular just out for a little practise before next weeks race. Wait there is something worth commenting on. I'm putting a new tube in Dan's tire and I notice the tire is completely shot from riding the last race on a flat. Wow I need about 80 bucks for a new tire. Then my friend pulls up and hands me 100 beans he owes me. Thank you almighty motorcycle gods.

Race weekend Ormond farm #2 2011

Off to the races we go again. I'm really enjoying myself this year racing with my son Dan and all the guys Matt,Joe,Rod. Keith and Kenny on occasion and now Tony joined in on the fun as well as Bobby. The race went good I got 19th place out of 39 riders which isn't the best result I have achieved but I felt like I rode good. The most important thing and I'm not going to lie is I beat Tony :)  Today is Tuesday and I'm still very sore from the race. I guess your suppose to push it during the races. My friend Matt had a get off that resulted in him losing many positions in the last lap. He looks like he might of twisted his knee. We'll keep our fingers crossed that he'll be able to make the last two races.  Here are the numbers and the pictures.   

Labor Day weekend

Went doing some dirt bike riding on Saturday and that was fun as usual. Then even know I had many opportunities to do cool stuff with my friends I elected to have a day just to chill out. I'm not very good at not having any plans. I was freaking bored out of my mind and it got worse as the day dragged on. I will never have a day with no plans. Next free day I have no chores I'm finding some buddies to go riding with.

   Monday (Labor day) My Mom Dan and myself went to Monmouth park to bet on the ponies. We went up into the club house which was really cool. You sit up there have lunch and a drink and place your bets all day. A really nice time I hit a couple of races and dam near almost broke even by days end.
