The New York Jets pulled the trigger yeterday and acquired legendary qb Brett Farve from the Packers.

Brett’s new jersey sold over 3,200 in just the first couple of hours. A new record!

Ladies & Gentlemen..Start your engines!

I love two wheeled transportation…of all types.

The Segway is just about as cool as it gets, next to my harley, and now there is a new arrival that rivals the Segway.

 Its by Toyota and is called the Winglet. 

Shortly after the Segway hit the market the folks at the Michelin headquarters building in Greenville were zipping up and down the halls.  Looks like this ride will be just as much fun.

Here’s a link on more info.

Click Baldwin - R.I.P.

July 31st, 2008 by Larry Wilson

I got some bad news this morning. Click Baldwin died in Montana from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident that occurred on Tuesday morning. 

Click was riding a 2009 Harley-Davidson in Lolo, Montana when he had a collision with a 1999 Honda Civic. He hit the rear of the car and was thrown from his motorcycle and hit the pavement and then a road sign. He was rushed to Missoula, MT hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He was pronounced dead around 11:30 EDT.
 

Click was known for owning the Carolina Harley-Davidson Buell motorcycle dealership in Gastonia, NC and was as a close friend of NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and others in the racing world. He supported many charitable organizations and fundraising events like Petty’s Annual Charity Ride, The Victory Junction Gang and the Speedway Children’s Charities. 

I met him a few times at his dealership when I was a member of that HOG chapter.  A nice man, and great business person.  If you get a minute today, think about his family.

John McCains campaign reps reported he had a “small growth” removed from his face over the weekend, and is doing fine.

He also had a larger, more irritating growth removed from his right butt cheek.

Kabbalah - Living Good and Showing It!!

July 28th, 2008 by Larry Wilson

The most well known spokesperson for Kabbalah is Madonna….which should tell you something about it.

Anyway, the woman that wants the world to embrace her religion and speaks of its benefits both to the soul as well as the body might not be the best “face” for the cult.

And THIS is the BEST A-Rod could do? 

I wake up everyday and look in the mirror so I know more than just a little about unattractive.  She, my friends, has seen better days. Wonder where that Mary Kay sales rep is?
