Morning All,
Happy Friday!
Space - Liked the road pic! Would that be an awesome road to drive / ride or what???
Had fun last night - date night with my wife. Strolled around downtown at the 'Sidewalk Art Stroll'. A couple of the local brewries (Yellowhammer and Straight to Ale) were giving away samples of some of their brews. Yummy!! Eventually had dinner at a little Greek place right on the downtown square. Had the 'flaming cheese' appetizer (some kind of hard to get Greek cheese imported from Chicago; it sells out almost as soon as they get it in). Everyone around us said, 'what's that... what's that... what's that'.
Should be a good weekend. Gotta get some bike maintenance done. My old bike, the Honda VFR750, seems to be getting lower gas mileage lately for some reason. Need to check the air filter (buried under the gas tank- ugh) to see if it's clogged. Hope that's it. Then time to install PIAA driving lights on our new bike, the Yamaha FJR1300 you can see in my sig. And we have a friend visiting from AZ on Saturday. She's on a cross-country bicycle ride to raise money for a charity.
Hope you all have a great day. Sunny and muggy here but I'm not complaining; it's always worse somewhere else.
Happy Friday!

Yes, your `Bike would be a fun ride on that wild road 4-Sure.
I would love to drive a sports car (like a ZR`1 : ) or even my skateboard would be a Wild Ride down that mountain with all it's turns/curve's and bends
Mother Nature sure is producing some Super Heat 2day from her `SUN

Good Morning MCF!
Well, we survived "heat-pocalypse 2011" yesterday. It's cooling off starting today.
Space, I like that road. Looks like it could be fun. But I think I'd have the heebeejeebees the first time. You pretty much can't make a mistake can you? You either fall off a cliff, or crash into the side of the mountain. I'd want to take a drive in a brand new Camaro SS convertible on that road.
Just letting everyone know that nominations are now open for the August MOTM! Nominate your favorite eligible member. Don't forget the moderators. I'm not eligible, but the moderators are eligible!
Gonna check out the rest of the forum before heading off to bed. Night shift.
A big THANK YOU and a thumbs up to all you great people who are the Monte Carlo Forum!

Hello Taz ~>`Lou, you just missed the naked lady running around the halls of the MCF last night...I think Sgt Miller caught her & put her in one of his cell blocks ~> That's about all that's happened overnight on the MCF
At least she hit the ball : )

Better be equipped with an air-brake or small parachute before heading down that hill on your skateboard, Space!

Good Morning forum members and watchers. Missed the whole internet yesterday. Didnt even get on and check my mail. Long day at work and wore out when it was over. Say a prayer for all the hard working people doing road construction. I am glad I work in the lab and not on the road. They were about to die. Imagine the pavemnet they are laying is around 300F and its 115 outside. Give them a break and slow down today. Check in later and try to catch up.
