Les Paul's final salute

Arriving in Göteborg Sweden today with my daughter Julia.

Forget large motorcycle dealerships. If you want quality service, Combustion Cycles in Durham, NC kicks-ass.

Power wash before removing the suspension to send to http://www.precisionconcepts.net for Titanium Nitrate Coating.

Combustion Cycles is the kind of shop that will give as much attention to a Vespa as a $30K Ducati.

Dave and I race RallyMoto together, and he is one of the best motorcycle mechanics in NC.

In order to have my bike ready for Baja I need to completely rebuild so it's not only faster but more durable.

Another before shot of my Honda CRF450X.

Motoz tires from Australia are all the rage. I'm planning to race them in Baja. http://motoz.com.au

The Honda CRF450X is the weapon of choice for the Baja 1000. This was my bike today before I stripped it down.

At Göteborg airport. 28 hours no sleep. Stopped by my daughter's school, I was amazed by her latest artwork. She's only 7!

My tomato plants are now over 6ft. tall. Organic Plant-tone kicks Miracle Grow's ass.

20 finalist poster for GS Trophy.

My organic turkey cashew chili was a big hit and the entry with the most heat. I used several different hot peppers, a full Guinness, kidney beans, black beans, and lentils.

Motorcycles and Chili! Yesterday's ADVrider.com Annual Triangle Chili and Pie Cook-off.

Did Green Home Tour in Durham today. Planted strawberries, blueberries, raspberries & palm tree.

Trying to break my daily food shopping habit I gave Costco a try only to walk out empty handed after seeing this couple w/helper monkey.
