The Official Fall 2012 BMW Brodeo

[bikerjim2000]

not completely

The tow truck company used DIRT to "clean" up the fork oil on the road from the Bike. Another faster local came by a bit after and destroyed his bike and himself..(actually he is at UT in ICU for awhile.It took over an hour for this guy to be lifted out....very scary I spent most of last week/weekend up there.)As I left yesterday the police/ambulance was on the way up again.....remember the only trophy anyone gets is to get home in one peice! Foothills and Dragon are Lit up with color right now lots o slow pokes around that next bend. CU ALL soon!

A sobering reminder to keep both hands on the bars/wheel. Just keep clicking next...

Dragon crash 10/16/2012

Apparently everyone was fine save for a broken arm.

Did barry forget a wristpin circlip?

Did you have oil pressure? Sounds kind of like what happened to Alex.

Oil pressure was good but the rods caps were mismatched on all of the rods, just so happened that the mismatched cap on #2 overtorqued the rod bearing surface so when the engine got up to operating temp it expanded and slowly chewed itself up.

Scrambling to find a new set of rod bearings by tomorrow.

New rod bearing installed in my S50 and its feeling good but poor Barry's 3.1l stroker is experiencing typical last minute Brodeo prep issues. His engine fires right up and sounded great for the first 15-20 mins until it developed a rod / crank knock. Metal bits in the oil and whatnot.. trying to get a new (proper) bearing set to rebuild the bottom end and drop it back in again within the next 2 days.

Sorry to hear this Halston. I keep mine in a fenced yard and so far no one has ever disappeared on us. Would ruin my existence if they did.

I know how I am with my animals. It breaks my heart to see them get old and then have to do something with them.

Hope she shows up soon.

I hate to do this guys but all the energy I have has completely been drained. I had a few photographer friends in town for Petit Le Mans. One arrived early and already had been to a photo meeting. He left after I did this morning. While loading the car he let both of my dogs out, unknown to him as it was an accident. Both were out of the house for hours until a neighbor found one of them. Molly is safe and sound with me. Maggie though has been missing for over 12 hours at this point. Flyers, posters and everything I can do has been done. I am just not interested in doing anything.

Jenny says I need to go so maybe I'll change my mind but right now I am just distraught and nothing sounds like fun. Have to force myself to go photograp tomorrow and Saturday.

Worst day of my life. Hate to miss this and maybe I will just come up later and be there for a single day.

Hate to hear this man. If she's chipped hopefully someone will find her sooner than later. My mom lost her shitzu when she was visiting my aunt for my uncles funeral so it was a double whammy and when I lost my cat John I was hurting for a few weeks. Its really hard for non-pet owning peeps to understand but its definitely more emotionally stressing than it sounds.

Really hope she turns up very soon and you can come to the rally in good spirits, definitely wouldn't be the same without you there to win this one.
