Those 'posers' happen to be inline speed skaters. No threat to your high flying antics.

The only people we piss off, are the guys on 10 speeds...

In Hermosa Beach....a forward from the LA Kings came down and tried to sell in lines to the crowd. After a few weeks.....I asked him to do a measured mile.....BTW....I did the running mile in under 4:10......

He kicked my ass for 500 yards....I pulled him and dragged his sorry ass to the end.

Afterwards I told him it was uphill for the first 800+ yards......he bought the drinks....know your limitations....

Times have changed, wheels are larger in diameter...

Time Taken: 00:21:32
Total Distance: 5.09 mi.
Pace: 04:13 (avg)
Speed: 14.18 (mi/hr) (avg)

I have been slacking off over the winter. I should be under 20 minutes.

I know my limitations... The guys in the above pic would lap me ten times over...

Like I said...in the day.....

I'm a track and field official, I also do football and baseball. Despite the new fields, surfaces and enhanced training....I'm not seeinh much improvement.

MY times which wouldn;t get my sorry slow white ass out of the local league would get me a full ride to Stanford with my grades....sucks to be me.......

That Tesla sedan IS awesome. I love the sliding glass "993 Targa"-style roof. Very cool stuff.

X-35




Rusty MR2 going off into the sunset................very fitting considering it's condition.


I'm seeing more and more of these old Nissan's on the road every day.


$950 for this old bird, what's he smoking?


I keep trying to get a good picture of this old Scout with zebra stripes, something always prevents this from happening.
