RUSH goes on tour again!

August 11th @ the FORUM, 13th in IRVINE. Tickets on sale tomorrow; we are excited. They are playing Moving Pictures in its entirety. Who wants to go with me?

4 days til payday

For sale is a working jet pack that belonged to my grandfather. It was a prototype used for military combat training. This has been inspected by numerous mechanics and has no flaws whatsoever. I have only used it a few times, but I promise there is nothing like it around! License included. Even if you would like to come check it out for yourself, by all means do so. Instructional video included.

guess which one is mine?

what are the odds?

I have a pal, Justin, that I see 3 or 4 times a year, at most. He's busy as a mofo, has a family, kids, etc.; same with me. His business is British bikes. Anyway, he needed some ABS diag on his daily-rider, so he came on down to the LBC. As he is en route, I get a phone call from Patty, asking about her deceased husband's 1975 BMW R90/6. Fair market value, parts sources, etc. She describes the bike to a point that makes me personally interested, and since the bike is 5 blocks away(!), I ride on over to check it out. It's great, perfect, and EXACTLY like it left Bayericsh MotorWerken in 1975! Also bitchin' is her hubby's collection of Brit iron form the 60s & 70s, including this little gem:
So, I call Justin, and give him directions to my location. He proceeds to walk through the lady's backyard and visually ID front wheels, frames, models, which Patty is furiously writing-down for future reference. Anyway, it was an amazing coincidence that she called me on the exact day he was in town. Long story short, he bought the beezer, 5 60s Triumph frames, and an assortment of various wheels from her, and picked em up the next morning. Me? I'm trying not to buy the R90.
