Dodge is showing off its 500 HP, v-10 concept motorcycle at the Detroit Auto Show. The Windows are going to go for the land speed record on North Avenue.

The surgery went well. A 10 oz. tumor was removed (about the size of a grapefruit). He’s got an icky looking 7″ scar on his left side, but he seems to be doing a bit better than when we first brought him home. We’ll know if he’s got the big C either Thursday or Friday.

If you’re super bored, try this, scooter memory game. For you non-French speakers, click the “Au Jeu” button. Also, check out the screen savers and e-postcards that you can send.

After putting up one beautiful fence (thanks to Keith, Carole, Grace, Shmoopy, Kenward, Kimba, Big Man and the Fee-ster), we collapsed in front of VH1 Classic. After arguing whether Paul Schaefer was the keyboardist in the Kim Carnes video, Crazy in the Night, I jumped on the internet to attempt to prove Beeb wrong. That’s when I found… THIS!

Sunday, December 1, 2002 is the date for the 25th annual Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade. It starts at 83rd & Western on the southside and ends at the Marine Center at Foster & Troy on the northside. Bring a new, unwrapped toy (suggestions are listed on the site). It’s a really great time and it’s for a worthy cause.

Jag spends $30,000 to rice-out $12 civic. 2sB benefit for Mykr in the works. Give generously so he can get lasers to shoot from his tailpipe.

Feel the need to drop some coin on Vespa trousers which look exactly like something you’d pick up at TJ Maxx? Check out this Italian site. Wait. It looks like you CAN have manpris afterall. Note, these are only approved for EXTREME climbing.

Back in the late 1950s, the Rockford (Illinois) Scooter Company started importing and selling the Silver Pigeon manufactured by Mitsubishi.

With a chubby gal like me behind the wheel, it would only be a matter of time before I drove off a curb and sent the training wheels flying.

I just came across a site which has some interesting tidbits on maintaining your P Series. It’s not updated all that often, but perhaps you’ll find something you can use (at your own risk, of course).

Today’s Chicago Tribune features a lovely piece on Greg Kinge. BTW, is the headline referring to Greg or Doug as “vintage”?
