Tracy and I just got home and found boxes sitting at the front door.
I have 2 new full sets of Sinisalo gear. I got the D-Lux pants, as I
like the over the boot design. I got the pant's in black and in blue
and 2 jerseys with a black and blue color scheme. I got 2 different
kinds of gloves with one pair being black and the other pair in blue.
Tracy likes my new gear, and is already for her next set of gear.

The other arrival was my new set of custom graphics. I'm not one to
keep my bike looking new and perfect, but those blue shrouds start
looking real bad on the GasGas when the white stress marks show up.
Anyway, I got them through Graphic MX and I gotta say I'm impressed.
They look great and Tracy is more jealous of the graphics than
anything else. She told me that I cannot put them on the bike until
just before the Quicksilver National Enduro. That also goes for the
gear too. So, I'll do as my race team manager tells me.

I might be posting a photo over in ABPM in a few minutes.

Hmm...Black and blue gear. That would be a good color scheme for me. We'd
match at the end of the day.

Uh, I'd probably put them on *after* the Quicksilver if you plan on
keeping `em looking good all season. But, hey, that's just me <G>
I want new graphics, too! Oh wait, I don't even have a bike yet...

Umm. When you rode a certain bike from a country other than Japan or
Austria, you didn't come back black and blue. Just the bike did and
it started out that way.

Nah, I gotta puit them on. The bike needs to look good with the Tami
Rowell Racing decals on the side number plates.

Mike,
Those aren't the "Merf Racing-Tami Rowell Racing" side plates are
they? Please don't do that to her.
That photo still gives me the shivers when I see it.

And to think, Digital Video Factory caught a shot of them on your
bike at the '00 Salinas Ramblers Coalinga National Enduro. I thought
I"d bust a gut when I saw that, captured for posterity.

"That Photo"?
I'm stuck at work bored stiff. Please amuse me with links to pictures
that make you shiver.

Would that be in their "2000 National Enduro Series Highlights" video?
Our Mikey is a video star? I mean, besides the ones he had shot of him
mauling his trials bike in Idaho.

All kidding aside, what ones did you get? I'm ordering new graphics for the
bikes from the same place and don't want to be twins. Soon both Kevin and my
bike will be black and blue as well.

I'm sure you didn't go for the metal flake crome flames like Kevin is
requesting....

See the photos on ABPM. My graphics are a modified version on the
'99-01 stock graphics. I wanted more black in the graphics in order
to look better with my black plastic. I like them.

Metal flake crome flames.... That's too close to"Crash N Burn" for
me.

Mikey put his name on his bike for those times when he can't remember
what it is, but the joke's on him. It's right side up, so he'll have
to get off the bike to read it. Shoulda put it upside down. <G>

I have had a trail side concussion. I need to know who I am at all
times.

Well you do know the next question after the obligatory "do you know
what your name is?" is "do you know what day it is?". Better put a
stick on LCD clock/calendar on there too...

Looks really good Mike, I'm jealous.

I'll use something i learned from Jim Cook. I'm riding, so it's gotta
be a day that ends in Y.

Don't hate me because it's beautiful.
