All I can say is that I'm glad he did it and kept a journal for Crazy Guy. It saved me the trouble of doing it myself. :D

His guts/brains ratio that's higher than anyone's I know - which is saying something. He's a pretty good photographer, too.

No flats, he had solid rubber tires. He had a few problems with his retreads, though.

It does look like fun. I think I'll add it to my list, after all.

Did you guys see the discussion for RIP VPL panties on the right side of the newspaper page sporting this guy's article. These "invisible knickers" deserve our attention.
