Brett (in chair) at Daytona - note stock cans on the bike. Sheesh!
Made reservations yesterday at a Bed & Breakfast near Elkhart Lake, WI which may prove to be interesting. The room photos show a plush “foo-foo” décor more suitable for color-blind lovers in heat than motorcycle racing pit crews. However it is actually less [...]
Thought I’d give a little insight as to what goes on in a race when the rider gets bored and wanders back to flirt with all the little blond hotties that are always hanging around the pit crew.
In Moto-ST we are allowed six men over the wall and, depending upon what track we are at [...]
The Daytona 8-hour race weekend began in its usual stellar fashion for R & R Racing, i.e., front forks for the #76 bike lost somewhere in the mail system on their way to Canada for rebuild; Brett driving straight through from Illinois and arriving at the track at 8:30 AM; paint still wet on the [...]
Here’s a couple of kids at the Mid-Ohio Superbike races a couple of years ago - Brett’s son Brandon and a kid named Nicky sharing a drink.
(Thanks to Brett for the use of the photo)
One of them has already won the World Championship - we are waiting on the other.
OK - now that we’ve all fallen in love with the 12-year-old on the pink KTM trail bike - here is the real story.
The amazing girl is actually a young South African lady who runs a motorcycle clothing and accessory store - catering to ladies. The photo was taken at the annual Johannesburg Toy Run, [...]
Spent most of yesterday installing an LED light strip to act as a taillight as well as two tiny Halogen headlights on the # 76 bike. This Saturday’s race at Daytona will run into the late evening - thus requiring lights. I also replaced one of the lights on the #37 bike and chased down [...]
Yesterday, I took the forks off our spare bike and we shipped them to Daytona to be rebuilt with race springs and valves, as Brett has never been happy with the way our #76 bike’s forks were setup by an unnamed but well known company - they kept cutting the springs off and we need [...]
Well, it’s about time!
Speed TV will broadcast this year’s Moto-ST series beginning in November. So set your TVO’s and DVRs for 11:00 a.m. (CST) on the following dates. And be sure to look for our #58 bike in the 1st race and the #76 and #37 bikes the rest of the season.

What to do? What to do?
Dilemma day once again this year.
Last year I got an Italian superbike for my 64th birthday but I must have slept through the lead-in period, and failed to have any fresh ideas for this year. After some spousal nagging last night about what I wanted for my birthday, I did [...]
