My new ride!

Picked this up today for work (motorsports photography) and fun. It was totally tricked out by UV Country in Houston. I can stand on the roof when I need the extra height and it even has satellite radio! Do you think I can mount a Rolex clock somewhere?

Those are gray ostrich skin seats in case you can't tell from the photo. (Pleather actually.)

I'm a motorsports photographer and right now use an ATV on the drag tracks, motorcrss tracks and off road tracks to get around. This has been fine just for me, but my son races MX now and my wife goes with me sometimes so this allows me to get around with my equipment and take passengers as well. Plus, its just fun!

Congrats I ride too.

Why the Kawi and not a Rhino ?

And any thoughts on the "lead law" ???

This came from UV Country in Houston and they're speciality is customizing the Mule and Polaris. The Rhino has more power and is faser but from what I've heard the Mule does better at crawling in dirt, which is what I do most. I also ride a KTM 450 XC for when I want to go fast!

The lead law primarily affects pee wee bikes, i.e. 50's and 85's. I have no problem with outlawing future production of bikes with lead paint, but the way the recent law was enacted it left dealers and parents with bikes that couldn't be used according to the law - another stupid decision by our congress. This is what happens when they don't read bills before they vote on them. Personally I don't know many kids who suck on their bike frames and are at risk of getting lead poisening.

Yes, he is a great guy.

No, I just turned 45 in September - Not the #1 David Bailey (MX), but another nice guy. How long did you ride with Travis? I've thought about putting together a rally car to do some of the local events. It's a blast!

Your namesake will be 49 New Years Eve, had to ask... Probably helps with the pitpasses





Answer: Did about ten laps... Very impressive, almost felt like a very high powered jet boat with the G's coming from everywhere...

Always full throttle, one turn actually takes three quick jerks (right, left, right or left, right, left) of the steering and flattrack around... Always four wheel drift

Full throttle and full brakes and glowing rotors Those hopped up STi's of RedBull Subaru get with the program

I can put you in touch with my friend Mark, a financial planner, he is fairly new to the sport and works within a fairly tight racing/car budget; but Mark has a blast also.

After the first of the year I may take you up on that. I have a full schedule through December with MX.

Thanks!
