Place Where The Dreaming Never Ends.


On an Oil's kick at the moment hence the title quote.  I can honestly say that being away from Oz for quite some time now, I have never felt as patriotic about home as I have over the last year and a half.  If I hear 'Beds are Burning' or 'Land Down Under' back home on the radio I wouldn't flinch.  Probably would even change the station.  But over here if I do its the complete opposite! I'll gravitate over to the tune box, turn it up and get pretty darn excited about it.  Laugh as you may, but I think you gain some real perspective when you spend time in a completely different environment....and I kinda like that.  One thing I don't like is how all my race results here (and I saw it again today) list my country as USA, and don't worry folks there is a good explanation for this.  Because I have a working visa I was able to buy a standard USAC racing license for the year versus the CA international license that costs an arm and a leg.  The USAC license is a heck of a lot cheaper which is great,  but lists me incorrectly as a USA rider........

 Pretty sure we are the only country in the world that eats our national emblem animals.....true blue.

Well the tissue box has gone and I'm feeling much better after a little hiccup last week.  Two weeks out from Utah and I'm motivated as hell to finish the season off strong.  Trying to find a guest ride spot for Univest Grand Prix in September too, so if anyone out there has any leads please drop me a line.  Although it was wet and nasty there last year I loved it, and finishing 23rd means I have some unfinished business in that the pointy end was not too far away.  Thanks for checking in....feel free to drop me a comment if your bored......question time?!?!

pretty stoked that the P-Man and the P-Dog (Dawg) are coming over, that sounds like a party, where you are only allowed to drink in certain areas marked out in texta and dance in another.... say hi to the boys for me!
