I found final resting places for my black GTS today. I gave the very  
bent frame to a guy collecting metal for scrap, and he was really  
psyched about it. That felt really good. I knew I had doubled his  
take for the day, which was in the shopping cart you see there. He  
was stripping old PCB's out of an old computer to get the frame metal  
when I rolled up in the Brooklynbretta van with Frank. I am glad  
about that.
Then I took all the stuff I salvaged from the poor bike and brought  
it to my storage space, which is a borg-like hive near the BQE. If  
the borg were hassidic, I guess.
It just looked surreal to me. The other wheel is being sent from  
vespa St. Louis, where in the confusion of the motor swaps and  
craziness that bordered on wartime ER freaking out at points... it  
was forgotten there.
going for a ride with some NYSC guys in a minute. Its nice to be back  
in Brooklyn, where my GTS lived and now is laid to rest. RIP, you  
were a great bike, even if you did throw me into the desert at almost  
70 mph!

Glad you're back in one piece man. It was really exciting watching the race, even though it was from the comfort of my laptop. You did a great thing man and I know I'll never forget it. Congratulations!!
Peace,

Right on, Al.
Your sponsorship is what helped make this happen, so we all share in the experience, my man.
It is a great thing that YOU did, chipping in to make this ride a reality.
Sincerely,
