It's a 1962, appropriately priced, with better-than-original mechanicals and no rust. Know why? It's right here in Sun City! I'm resisting the temptation to call the guy and go see it. But only because I am not in a position to buy it and the guy shouldn't be bothered by a lookie-loo.Jeff sent me this link. This is the definition of twisties! Would this be a rush?!
Note that the guy is riding a BMW.
I don't know the pace the tour leader sets but anything at all brisk would require the rider's FULL attention.
I'd love it!
What happens when you hire one of the original Detroit Piston "bad boys" to be an assistant coach for your Detroit WNBA team? Chick fight! But with former Piston Bill Lambeer as the head coach and teammate Rick Mahorn as assistant (he knocked Lisa Leslie to the floor) it was only a matter of time.
We have a cricket in the house.
A cricket chirps at a rate governed by the temperature. The higher the temp the faster the chirp. In fact, the standard north American cricket is so consistent that if you count his chirps (only the male makes the distinctive noise) over a 15 second period of time and add 40 you'll have the current temp in Farenheit.
This cricket must have just come in from outside where, at 9 p.m., the temp is 100 degrees, because he's wailing with dem forwings!
Test out my theory re. traffic lights.
Say you're 8 cars back of the red light, and on the other side of the intersection is one or more cars headed the opposite direction - comin' your way.
When the light turns green you can't step on the gas. You have to wait for the seven cars in front of you to begin moving before you can.
How long should it take before you can step on the gas?
A: You should be able to accelerate, and nine times out of ten will be able to accelerate when the first car in the line headed the opposite direction comes even with you. If it takes longer than that something is wrong up front. Some Sun City with those scary oversized sun glasses has nodded off.
But take the challenge. I'll bet you find it works 90% of the time. Why? Well, that's a pretty complicated thing that has to do with quantum fisicks.
OK, folks, that's all I got for tonight. See, I had a pretty boring day. I had to stick cose to home on account of a medical test I'm having done.
You don't want to know.

The first car didn't have to wait at all to go. The second car waits about 1 second for the car in front to get out of the way. The third 2 seconds, and so on. Given a one second/car delay, you have to wait 8 seconds after the first car goes before you can start. So you have to wait about 8 seconds after the first car passes before you can step of the gas. Or, in Sun City, you have to wait 8 seconds for the person in front to realize the light turned green, then turn on their blinker on and try to make a left from the right lane. Josh
