A nice Sunday drive ... how the .:R32 and I spent Easter
I took the .:R32 out for a nice long sunday drive this past weekend, drove out through Napa on HWY 12
Had to get a shot of the .:R next to a Vineyard , I really like this shot.
Along the way I stopped at Carr's Drive-in on HWY 116 to grab some lunch , Great fries !
The guy in the 510 pulled up just as i was getting ready to grab some pic's , the 510 was super clean !
Wile still on HWY 116 I stopped at a cool little country store to grab some snaks for the beach later on.
After a long day of driving I finally made it to HWY1 and the coast sometimes there's nothing more beautiful than the Pacific Ocean!
Hwy 1 the greatest drive on the planet , don't let people tell you different it's #1 for a reason !
Found this turn below and had to grab a shot of the .:R over looking the Pacific and the run of twisties we just ran up. wile I was taking these pic's I threw some props up to the Drift nuts over at FATLACE now it's FatLace turn SON!
This was a epic drive, I took HWY 1 all the way from Fort Ross into Stinson beach , i stopped at one of the marsh overlooks in Tomalas bay and found some creepy little Toy schrine I got scared and realized I had been driving for way too long.
I went into San Francisco and got dinner at my favorite noodle joint after that I drove home .

This is "REAL" bike racing !
Watch and learn kids watch and learn , this is what true bike racing looks like !
Greg LeMond's 1989 Tour win over Laurent Fignon , this was after the 1987 hunting accident were Greg was shot and seriously injured , it doesn't get any more real than this . Greg made all this happen on a handbuilt Bottecchia tailor fit to meet his needs as a athlete , custom built bars and helmet all unproven in competition before this day . Greg didn't need proven technology or big team backing , he had the drive and desire to win ! Watch the video you can see the fire in his eyes !
Some of you might ask why the Greg Lemond post on the Nem-Pro site Brad?
Yesterday I had the pleasure of having lunch with 2 world cup downhill racers who shall remain nameless , It was interesting to say the least and I completely understand now why the bottom has fallen out of racing here in the U.S. and soon abroad .
The cyclist like to blame the doping and the scandals , I as a bike manufacture and as a mechanic who had the pleasure of wrenching for racers such as Greg Lemond understand it's not the scandals or the drugs it's the attitudes of the athletes and their current lack luster drive to succeed . It's my observation that the current crop of pro racer's want everything given to them and do nothing in return for these benefits .
I look at the moment pictured above as one of if not the most powerful moment in sport's during my lifetime , sorry kids but you current crop of primadonna racers out there just arnt doing it for us any longer.

My Volkswagen does 185mph
I lost my license now I don't drive , well this has been my story for the past several months . A little too much fun in the .:R32 ( ednote: not my car in video) one day and I got popped big time . Speeding might be fun but the thousands you spend to get your license back isn't .
After several court dates , thousands in fines I was able to take my license test today and i only missed one answer !
I am now a leagle drive again and no longer have to roll dirty , driving is a privlage not a right Study up kids , cops be cracking down these days .
