What up Travi,



The only one who "missed something" was Sacky. Guy lives a few exits away from Laguna but never manages to go, while the rest of the world take out 2nd mortgages to make it. We were on the road from the 46 to the 101, at that interchange is Paso Robles, where Sacky lives. We were looking for a sign that might say his city so we could stop and take a picture and post it up. As you know, we are always thinking of our Powerslide brothers, even the Black Sheep. But no cigar, as we were a bit too tipsy to go looking for a city sign, we just took a pic of the road and another cool and refreshing drink.

Nothing like a bit of moral support or respect for your elders

I am going away for the weekend so if you guys could like stop telling stories until I get back, that would be great! This thread is going platinum, it's a classic already! .... Indy, count me for Laguna next year fo shoo.



Arrab, I love your taste in women. I wouldnt mind a taste myself.



Jumkie I laughed out loud at the Alvaro Effron blast, nice!

That James Dean memorial is a 30 minute drive from my house or 20 minute ride. I couldn't make Seca this year but I would have for sure hooked up with you guys if I would have know you were going to be right there. ...., I'm not that tighthttp://www.powerslide.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/.....gif

What's the dealy with the memorial. Is that where he entered the clearing at the end of the path or his gravesite?

Oh man, this thread is classic... lol... I will from now on type my reply in a txt document as i read along like I did before so I actually remember all the great things I wanna reply to when I am done reading lol

I have few words tonight - well, in respect of this particular post anyway. This exquisitely expresses the warmth I feel for my bro's in the U.S, and encapsulates everything on this thread in 4:14 of captivating inspiration

Sack, I can genuinely say it would have been a pleasure and a privilege to have met you. I can also genuinely say, ditch that ..... tacky avi and restore Nicky back to his rightful place

During the first night we all crashed in the RV and trailer. I had the best bunk in the house, above the front seats, which is like a queen size double bed. Unfortunately i even managed to .... that up. I am afflicted by some stupid medical condition which is actually very commonplace or so I'm told. Symptomatic of my age, I have an erectile disfunc ...., sorry, not that one. I have some .... called Barretts oesophagus - meaning that I manufacture a veritable vat of acid reflux to order in my gut which is permanently intruding as far as my ......' throat. In short, if I don't take my medication, I suffer from the most agonising burning indigestion. Guess who forgot his daily fix of 'Raberprazole Sodium' (Trade: Pariet 10mg). So despite the fact that during my life I've ingested practically every recreational drug synthesised by man, I forget to take that morning the one tablet that is legitimately prescribed to me on the NHS (you might like to look that one up Povol), and proceed to imbibe a dozen Tecates, almost a quarter of a bottle of rum, a stack of Bud, and several bottles of Blue Moon, not to mention devouring half a tray of Tommy's burgers and then wonder why at two thirty in the next morning I'm writhing around like a floundering fish out of water. It was no use - I needed instant relief. I clambered down from my bunk, and promptly trod on Jumkies head - (who has selflessly made a bed for himself on the RV floor - I kid you not, while all of us were on the benches and the bunks, that guy silently crashed on the floor of his own van), I then proceeded to rummage and forage for some Rennie - which is basically instant relief in a tablet of chalk. 'Dude turn the ......' light on' called Jum - and in my confused state, blinded by the dark and 'rummified' inebriated incompetence, I blindly staggered around searching for the elusive switch and managed to .... up the air con in the process. Apparently it was on the ceiling and not the wall. The other occupants of the RV were impervious to my ineptitude, and having located my bag and ingested half a ton of calcium carbonate, I was able somehow to haul myself back into my bunk and douse the gastric inferno.



Fortunately I do not tend to suffer hangovers, just massive disorientation and confusion. As the day dawned I was able to take stock of my surroundings - having very limited memory of how I got there. Which is why I climbed the tree. Ros looked on despairingly....

It wasn't long before Jum emerged, and commandeered one of the yam's to enable Long Rider to retriever the beemer from Salinas.

Had I remembered the altercation in the hotel car park, I would have no doubt had a vision of some shambling monstrous taxi driving freak awaiting with a chain saw to decapitate them both and gorge on the R6 for breakfast. I've no doubt he'd probably ate his taxi overnight - I've read about people eating entire vehicles in the Guinness Book of Records as a kid.



Unbeknown to me - the curse of the mad Taxi Driver was to return to haunt us sooner than I thought!!

I'm not even sure how to respond to this thread frankly.......It is without equal!! Arrab, your prose is remarkable and mesmerizing. I find myself returning to this thread several times a day for more. Well done.



I'm gutted that I missed this trip. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled with this crew and even luckier to have housed them in my home on occasion. They're a special bunch no doubt. Truly selfless companions are rare and difficult to find.....to have found several of them at once is the rarest of occurrences.



Jumks, CK, et al are those in every sense.

HOLY CRAP that's the 'Monterey Monstruo' - and he's actually awake in this picture. I had no idea you managed to get a photo of the Monterey Mutant himself. I'm scared again.

'Look deep into the eyes and listen to my voice....during the race on Sunday you will lose the front at turn five on Lap 11 under heavy front braking - nod if you understand!'

'You will remember nothing of this conversation....now smile at the camera there's a good lad'

One of my many encounters with Josh Herrin during the weekend

10262:1.jpg]

I wondered whether this old boy would be interested in riding pillion on a parade lap, but he was only up for selling me a used car

10263:1.jpg]

"Now smile and say hi to BassPete"

10264:1.jpg]

Herrin was highly amused at The Cali Kid's attempts to chat up his girlfriends dog...

So much so he lit up his crack pipe..

"Hey Ponch, does your tin pot Tech Tripe squat fancy signing me on the books again?'

"Leave it Herve, he's not worth it"

"Mon Dieu, that's an understatement - I'd rather have Toseland back again"
