Fast Freddie's Fabrications and stuff

Lots to catch up on at Kelley Acres...

Fast Freddie's Fabrications is live. Click on it. FF has been fabricating parts for the mid 60's Ford Super Cars, Cobras and Daytona Coupes. He's starting to get them up on his new website. If you really want to make his buddy that helped him get the site going crazy, fill up the cart and don't buy anything.
Last fall I posted about Ben's Baby....FF has been building this Daytona Coupe

This was the delivery

Early assembly

Almost complete

Another week or so and we get to send her home to Ben

Back to the bike races...
I got to experience the mental and physical pain of doing my worst TT in 6 years last weekend. I was also challenged to brush up on my short term memory loss. FF is really good at forgetting things so he's helping me with this. We always joke that if I keel before him he'll hook up at the funeral because he'll have forgotten me already!

Stick a fork in my eye, it'll feel better

I really hope this was the start because it could explain ALOT!

It Was a Split Not a Drop

I went to the Bike Slam last weekend in Patterson Park. There is a love/hate relationship here. I hate that many people I know have had bad crashes at the Slam but I love the fact I have never had any problems. A bit twisted but somehow surviving this race unscathed is the victory for me. Ok, so I stopped after the carnage this time. Whatever.

I grabbed my stupid little camera that takes videos. I had it secretly tucked in my pocket so those really good photographers couldn't see it because it is kind of silly.

I thought I might get a dropped rider or something and be "the mole" again.

Then I ran into So Pro Birner. Love this guy. He always has a smile on his face and something nice to say. He likes making people go fast on bikes too.

He was telling me that he didnt' get dropped in his race. There was a split.

Here he is trying to explain it.

Here are our local Three Muskateers getting ready to race. King Crockett, Lumpy and Ti Don

And last but not least my favorite website of the week is
