Hey Guys,

Have you read "One Good Run: The Legend of Burt Munro"?  Santa brought me the book for Christmas, I am reading it now.  It is quite good.  I recommend it for you motorcycle types.

The wife just started Jupiter's Travels.  I'm waiting for my turn on that one.

Hey Burma, they list several good ones to go with it too.
I made a list but I'll get books a million to order them for me.
We get a discount there and seems like it takes Amazon for ever to
send their stuff.

I'm with you, Rockin' M.  I usually order from Barnes and Noble even if I do stop off at Amazon to check out some reviews.

Guys,

I finished the book two weeks ago, it is a really fast read - three days and I was finished with it.  Anyway, it is amazing how much Burt learned just by working on engines and experimenting with new designs.  I am sure that he was near genius IQ, however he was terribly accident prone. :D

Just a word of caution, I made a purchase through Amazon and somehow my bank account info got out, I don't know if it was a hacker or the seller sold it or what, but I have lost a lot of money from the whole fiasco.

Peace and Long Rides,

Jeff
