I'll refrain from resurrecting the beer post, but I had a really great IPA last night.
It was Avery's IPA (cask conditioned) and though it was my third of fourth drink of the night, it was well worth it.
If you find a place that has it on tap, I strongly suggest you try it... especially if you're a hop-head.

They don't list the IPA as a cask beer on their website, but that's what they had at Draught House last night.

Phenix_Rider 08-09-2009 11:03 PM

I had a Dogfish Head Pale Ale last weekend. :dribble:
Also Rogue Dead Guy Ale and Sam's Summer Ale.

Definitely looking forward to sampling more of the wonderfully wide open world of beer I see before me. It's great having some disposable income. :rockwoot:

t-homo 08-10-2009 07:14 AM

I got the sam adams summer ale a couple weeks ago. Good stuff. There is a microbrewery here that has an incredible ipa.

marko138 08-10-2009 12:07 PM

I had a keg of Sam Summer Ale at my wedding. Good stuff.

I should have rode all week. The House isn't in session so I dont have to wear a tie. But it's been too damn hot. I'm hoping to bust out early today. Besides, the Buell needs ridden. The miles or lack thereof I've put on it this year is shameful.

I'm going to try to head out early today too. Going to the drag strip tonight then Hallett tomorrow and Sunday. Should be a good weekend.

I will be unable to ride to work for a length of time not to exceed 397 days.

It's a sad state of affairs.

t-homo 08-15-2009 02:06 PM

Ran horribly last night. First pass ever down a drag stip was 14.4 with a 1.4 second reaction time, FML. Got it down to an 11.5 at 125 mph with a .7xx reaction time. For my first time out, I am happy with this. Now I am getting ready to head to Hallett (hallettracing.com) for the rest of the weekend.

the first few times is hard, especially at that track unless they remarked the finish line. it's hard to see the boxes at the end when you are running and what you think is 1/4 mile really isn't.

I finally got it down when I was told that I could shut it down when those guys down by the Ambulance were waving at me. :D

Not that I'm just going all mega-miles this year, but more commuting miles at least :rolleyes:

Not bad. My first time out I ran 11.6 at 118. Got it down to 11 flat at 125.95mph. .155 rt. Keep workin it, you will get it.

My commute is only 4 miles...so those dont add up very quickly.

t-homo 08-17-2009 12:01 PM

Finish line still isn't marked. I may have let off a little early one pass, then I just figured I would run as hard as I could until just before the ambulance, then hit the brakes.



Day at the real track was good for the first two sessions. After that, my buddy's brakes went out at the end of the front straight. Straight off of the track at probably 125, down to 115 before he hit the air fence straight on. Frame is cracked bad on both sides of the steering stem. Forks are bent, radiator is destroyed and the wheel is pushed back into the headers. He's got spare everything but frame so he is going to try to get one of those and have the bike back together by Sept 6-7. The best guess any of the people at the track had was a huge bubble in his brake lines. Corner worker verified there were no brakes, then they slowly came back to working again.

t-homo 08-19-2009 03:00 AM

At Hallett, yeah. The last time was the beginning of May because he rode my bike at Hallett 3 weeks later on the 29th or so. Then he was out on his bike for the June trackday when his roommate went off in turn one. This time it was him that went off. Frame is cracked BAD on both sides of the steering stem. He is hoping to have a new frame and everything in/on it by friday night to run at drags.

Dave 08-23-2009 01:28 AM

so after long pondering why a company would produce what is obviously a streetfighter but would then attempt to market it as a cafe bike when the only claim to that title was the addition of clubman bars. i really didnt want to believe they were simply trading on the name for sales and then it occured to me that ducati may have trademarked the piss out of the other name. its a longshot but i suppose ill give buell the benefit of the doubt this time

Looks like I am headed back to the drag strip tonight if the weather is decent. Going to the track again next weekend, again, just to watch. Hopefully I can save up enough money to ride again in October.

beer doesn't actually make you sleep better. :lol: Lord knows I've tried that method. And the fucking dog woke me up at 130 and had to shit. Wouldn't settle till I took him out.

Adderall and Concerta actually make you more focused and stay awake.

Oktoberfest is ongoing
I cannot drink beer.
