I noticed Dave Cole's K1300S in the parking lot today and yesterday Harold Sciarra's mint green RT was there. The moto parking is starting to get active again.]]> http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100309-195126 Mark Byers Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:51:26 GMT http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100308-190251
The new Gerbings Microwire technology is outstanding, bringing on the heat almost instantly and keeping it warm all around by virtue of the high neck and thermostat. On full blast, it was like being in a warm shower. I do have one recommendation: keep the garment tight, as it works best in areas in which it is in full contact with your body.

The race was a bit of a crashfest, but none of them was too serious: a colorful broken nose, dislocated thumb, and some other scratches and dents.]]> http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100308-190251 Mark Byers Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:02:51 GMT http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100304-221023 http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100304-221023 Mark Byers Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:10:23 GMT http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100304-220844

Michael Dennis Blom left us 21 September 2009 as a result of Mantle Cell Lymphoma. On the left is Simon Beglar, his old friend from New York and fellow moto ref. This was his last ride with Simon, Stefan Yencha, and Dirk (whose last name escapes me). This was a day of grace before the cancer overcame him.]]> http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry100212-182303 Mark Byers Sat, 13 Feb 2010 01:23:03 GMT http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry090729-185400 .

From Brian Rathjen and Shira Kamil's latest foray to Africa.

By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRA!!!]]> http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry090313-172356 Mark Byers Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:23:56 GMT http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry090226-201517

Larry Segeleon points out, correctly, that the Pittsburgh guys who ride in the rain have nothing on we bicycle race moto refs and marshals. The scene here is the moto pit prior to the 2007 US Open Bicycle Race. Yes, that's freezing rain on the trees. The weather was so bad, the TV helo couldn't take off. CRAB Steve Whetstone's bike is the yellow GS in the foreground. At least the bicycle riders had physical exertion to keep THEM warm.

The race was Williamsburg to Richmond, but they stayed in Richmond and transferred to W-burg that morning. During the ride from Richmond to W-burg, there were cars spun out on the interstate and into the median. Apparently the trip to W-burg on the motos was very interesting. They all made it just fine, thanks, because they're hard men and skilled. The race went on.]]> http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry090226-201517 Mark Byers Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:15:17 GMT http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry080713-194138 Mark and Betsy]]> http://www.thecrabs.org/index.php?entry=entry080713-194138 Mark Byers Mon, 14 Jul 2008 02:41:38 GMT
