> So this mean you're no longer here? ;^) Ortega Hwy SR 74, in Orange
Yes it does, I escaped from LA on 4/1/89 to Manhattan, then
escaped from New York to Maine in '01 :)
For my all my racing enthusiasm, I'd prefer to live
nearer a large metropolitan area, and for my career
possibilities - but I really like the quality of life out
here in the boondocks - and a house with about a
dozen acres on the end of a peninsula isn't that bad
either.

Mulholland Drive is an unbelievable road.
>From between the ages of 9 to 16, I remember watching bikes
on that heavily banked hundred and something degree turn taking
it at huge amounts of speed, leaned over horizontal. Watching a
bike go through that with the entire machine leaned over at a
90 degree angle with his knee looking like it was skimming the
pavementalways gave me a healthy fear of bikes - permanently
mentally scarred, even. I'm scared of what I'd end up doing if
I had a bike. Dirt bikes I just know to take it easy on, street
bikes instill fear for my safety :)
As a kid, I didn't really have a concept of how dangerous that
could be. The internet didn't really exist as we know it then,
either though.
