American Chopper at Texas Motor Speedway

This past Saturday (June 11) I was witness to the popularity of American Chopper when a crowd of 100,000 greeted the Teutels at Texas Motor Speedway prior to the start of the Indy Racing League event. The boys from Orange County Chopper were commissioned to design a motorcycle for the Bombardier Learjet folks, and had the unveiling at the track.

Paul Sr. Addressed the crowd first...then Jr. talked a little about the motorcycle they designed and then Mikey got his turn. Very cool moment.

Then my personal highlight was to ride up front with the OCC boys on my 1992 Heritage Softail with a flag from the radio station (KZPS) unfurled from the back of the bike in front of that huge crowd. Pretty special.

Michael Jackson

Not guilty on all charges...

Creeping people out since the 2nd surgery...NOT GUILTY.

Being close friends with the Home Alone Kid...NOT GUILTY.

Even thinking about stuff with the monkey...NOT GUILTY.

He was this close <--> to being found guilty of banging Elvis' daughter for about a year.

Route 66 Trip

Me and my East Tennessee boys. It's a long way to the Santa Monica Pier from here. Route 66 trip - June 2002.

There's a reason it's called the Grand Canyon. 

Standin' on the corner in Winslow Arizona. Sing the Eagles song and you'll get it. 

Rusty Wallace

Interviewing Rusty Wallace at one of the dealerships he owns in Tennessee. We played "5 Questions" with Rusty Wallace, where all the answers rhymed with Rusty. He knew right away who Elmer Fudd's favorite driver was.

Back stage in Music City

Volunteer Jam 2000 in Nashville with Moon Mullins (former road Manager for the Marshall Tucker Band and Toy Caldwell) his wife Nessie and Bonnie Bramlett. What a time! I found out why it takes Charlie Daniels so long to get to the stage from his dressing room...he's got to get a hug and a kiss from every woman during the trip.

The Silver Fox

My buddy David Pearson. He turned 70 last December
and is still racing and beating young boys on the dirt in South Carolina.

What the Hell

Is it just me or is the hanky-fest known as Extreme Makeover Home Edition run it's course with you yet?

They've gotten to the point where there is just so much to fix that they just run a couple of Caterpillars through the living room, drag it all away and build a $600K palace in the baddest part of Dog Patch.

I'll bethca all of those plasma TV's aren't around in a couple of years either, because little Louie had to have a set of wheels and tires for his Accord and sister Marsha was going through EPT's like Metamucil through an old goose.

I don't want to whine here, but in some cases it just looks like lazy people getting over.
