Concrete and powder

I've signed up for my first motorcycle track-day of 2005. It's in late May at Spokane raceway. Cam and I are heading down there and I'm excited to kick-off the season. I've seen some videos and pictures of the track and it looks fun. I have to figure out how I'm going to get my motorcycle around for track days this year. The choices are either buy a pickup-truck, get a vehicle with a hitch for a trailer, or rent something to carry it around. I'm not sure yet. I test-drive a 2005 Nissan Frontier but I'm interested in a used pickup truck. In related news Mottie sent me an article on a fuel-celled motorcycle.

Work is still busy but I've acquired a new 20.5" Dell LCD which helps my eyes survive. Today is sunny and I hope to setup the slack-line outside for a few minutes.

I can't believe that the mountains received some more snow. Mt.Baker is reopening on Thursday and it will be amazing as they have had a huge dump. If anyone can make it I'd suggest going.

for the ignorant (me) why do you have to truck your bike to the track? can't you just ride it? i'm guessing becaues you have to tape off the lights, etc and it takes too long at the track?

Some reasons for a truck/trailer are pre-race setup, in case you crash the bike, beer at the end of the day, bringing along water/gas/tools/tent/friends, and hours of riding home after a day of racing is painfull and dangerous. Overal it's much more convenient to truck it in.
