Hi guys,
I'm going to try and cram as much information as possible into this post, because my laptop's hardrive is failing and I don't know how much longer I'll be able to use my machine. Factor in that in three/four days I'm going to be headed to Germany for a week, and then going directly to the USGP, and there's just no time or way for me to get it replaced. Not to mention my financial situation, haha. Ok, first topic to hit upon are the MotoLiam T-shirts:
Shirts: 30 USD, includes 2 MotoLiam stickers
Stickers: 5 USD
It may seem a little high, but this run is really small (and smaller runs are more expensive per shirt to print up) and I didn't want to make something limited if there were going to be a ton of them available. To me, limited means limited, which in turn means special - especially since we're all going to have a chance to party together at the Blue Fin at what I'm sure will be one of the highlights of the USGP06 for me.

I'm still trying to get ahold of some LE rims for Kenny's Supersport entry at the USGP. We've had some bites and emails, but I haven't been able to reach him (he's in Albacete for the Formula Extreme race this weekend). I'm sure he's going to get in touch with me later today, and we'll be calling everyone who's contacted us concerning the wheels. That means I'm still looking!

Next?
www.motoliam.com is online now. We're still working out a couple bugs, but overall I am extremely pleased by what we've been able to put together, and this is just the start of what I hope is going to be a cool place to visit on the web! I'm working on the links/extras/and merchandising areas, and eventually these will be filled with downloadable videos, music, and more. Most people have a hard time figuring out what makes me tick, and the short answer is music. It's a huge part of my life, and one of the main things I want to be able to share more of with people. I have specific songs that identify a period of time for me, and in turn, I have songs that fit perfectly with the races and places I've been to.

Coming up, two more races within two weeks. I'm so excited about coming home for the USGP, it hasn't even registered that there's a German race before that. I'm stressing out trying to figure out the details of my stay following the race, and deciding what kinds of things I'm going to be packing. One thing is for sure, and that is I will be spending time in SF for more than a week after the race! I expect to run into quite a few of you at Alice's, and I'll be visiting some of the Barfspots around the Bay Area, so look sharp. Do I hear a Boba tea run in Cupertino? Damn right I do!

I'm sure there are some people I haven't managed to get back with, but believe me, I've been trying to stay on top of emailing people back. This latest urgency for the R1 LE rims has consumed some time, and yesterday's computer meltdown didn't help, either. But, I know you're out there.
Uktech: yeah . . . . . . Brits
MadDawg: Food! Bring lots of good finger foods that we can snack on in the box in the afternoon! I don't care what, sweets, crispy skin pork, lumpia, you make the call!
MilleRBoy: You know, I love having Barfers get involved. VooVoo is an oldtime member (some of you won't know her), and I think she's going to be just right for you know what. Anyone want to second my decision to have VooVoo be one of our umbrella girls at the USGP?

Seems like the latest issue of
Road Racer X has hit the streets a little earlier than I anticipated, complete with this little blurb! I am feverishly trying to get as much done in the shortest amount of time, so people bear with me. Everything is happening that much faster for me now, and I'm still trying to get adjusted. Jumping aboard a MotoGP team midseason is hard enough, but trying to continue with some of my other pursuits simultaneously is really making things reach critical mass. I'm really hoping my computer holds out until I get to California, but if not, Oh Well! Keep your fingers crossed, and buy some shirts and stickers please.
