Nope. BA is his father...

I would ask him to be my daddy, but the statement in and of itself is creepy

nice...


well BA... your boy's got skills! and a good name (my first name is Brandon)

I think the skill resides in the name... I can't even say that with a straight face...

I would like to say that he gets his skills from me, but I'd be lying. As long as he doesn't crash like me we're ok. Kidding aside, I can't teach him any more, he is beyond my skill level at this point.

I don't have kids, but I can certainly imagine how that must make you feel... Probably like that Superman picture... only not retarded.

I'm sure it's just like that.

Thanks anthonyk,

I'm glad it was wet and rainy in the morning. It gave him some much needed wet weather practice. From what I could see he did very well. The last time he raced in the rain he was racing TMGP 8 hour night race on his NSR50. He was running mid 50's and had a 3-4 lap lead when it started raining. I walked out to the track to tell him to slow down and take it easy when he crashed. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

The '02 RS125 is very nice though the suspension is set for a heavier rider. He was running ~5-8 seconds off his '94 RS125 times (also with bad suspension). He said both wheels would chatter and push in every turn. We'll save up some $ and have both bikes set up for him, hopefully in the next month or so.
