Courtyard Highway 25 bar/restaurant
Took a scenic ride through the hills today. Just happened to be near where I used to ride when "29 Dreams" was open. Hello! Someone opened up shop on the existing property. It's now called Courtyard Highway 25.
I probably won't see upper 60's again for quite a while. Hopefully they will still be open when I ride through there again...

Parked at Work
I know it looks a little lonely... but this is a great place to park. The studio blocks a lot of weather and the surface is concrete (no sinking into hot /soft asphalt). It's just out of the way of a "Patch " live shot. We will sometimes put a reporter to the right of my bike to be live in front of the Birmingham Skyline. The mountain (my station sits on top of) drops off just to the left side of the photo frame.

2011 Kawasaki Concours ABS
After a week of planning, financing and insurance shopping - I finally bit on a new motorcycle. I have been thinking about this type of motorcycle since last fall. I really got the bug when I visited another dealer and demoed a few bikes. I saw this one online and it was too good of a deal to pass up. I rode through a thundering deluge of rain the last 6 miles home. No worries - traction control! The sun popped out as I parked the Connie for the first time in the driveway and I was treated to a double rainbow. No pot o' gold on the seat...

Barber Superbike Track Walk
On June 18th 2011, after the races for the day were complete.. the races from most of the teams treated folks to a walk around the track. Just a $10 donation for tornado relief. My group consisted of Josh Hayes (2010 Superbike Champion), Josh Herrin, Jason Disalvo and Reese Wacker. Josh talked the whole way around the track.

This concrete was freshly painted right before the superbike teams showed up this week. the black marks are from the knee-pucks.

Hitting this corner at full speed and the front wheel loaded for grip is a nightmare thanks to the seeping water over a slippery seam...

Josh Hayes shows what he sees on the track at speed and how he determines the best line in different situations...
