That's great, Glen.

I saw a Bimota today at the Rock Store. I don't know much about them, just a little about their origins from an article on Massimo Tamburini in Sport Rider. This was much more modern than that. It had a Ducati-like tube frame (steel I assume) and some carbon fiber fenders. Looked like a V-twin. I am guessing it is about as old as a Ducati 888. It said DB2 on the tailpiece I think.

There were the usual other nice bikes like Panigales and 1198s at the RS, too, but not many cars. Cars are usually out on Sunday morning after Supercar Sunday.

The number one thing that kept me sane during my long stay in the hospital was my smart phone. The ability to listen to Pandora and my own 15 gigs of music and of course access this thread was possible with a small hand held gadget. Mine is a iPhone but I suspect any current smart phone would do the same tasks. Since I got my phone long enough ago I have the unlimited data plan. Most of the time I was on the hospital wi-fi but sometimes it was real slow so I would just use the 3G. I got my bill today and I used over 2 GB of data. Fortunately it did not matter.

Tweeze, I figure you know the answer to a simple question. Today when the PICC was removed there was no blood on the thing at all. It has been in a big artery inches from my heart. How come there was no blood on it? The blue plastic tube looked white on the end. Are they that way new or is that something my body did to it?

Just swapped my spare stock engine lid for a duck tail. Even trade. Haven't done anything with it yet.

Yea, the extra week in the hospital was very LONG. But the extra healing time will make next week a lot easier.

Rick, those rear flares look different- more convex like ST fronts or something. Is it just the way the reflections are laying on them?
