Now seriously, what is going on in the Motorcycle Thread boys
Not sure what NH-Mark is trying to say below, but at this rate, I propose re-name it as the UPSTATE MOTORBOAT THREAD

Then again, I did have the realization that the freshmen this year at the university were in kindergarten when I graduated high school.

I tend to think of fellow autocrossers as peers, and don't think about age. At the last event, I was working course with a novice. He asked me when I started autocrossing. When I told him, his response was "that was a year after I was born!"

Nice day today, upper 60s with some sun.
...and I better enjoy every second of it...the 10 day forecast has RAIN every BLEEPING day!
Guess I'll be doing a QD on the S and covering it for the next 1 1/2 weeks.

I just sent this to the D&C, Rochester's newspaper
I wanted to reach out to you, and share some info, maybe there is a follow up story here
Your story - http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20110512/NEWS01/305120013/Police-ID-Avon-teen-killed-4-injured-Rush-crash?odyssey=nav|head
That accident on E. River Rd last night is very close to my home to the south.
There is also this story - http://www.democratandchronicle.com/...from-car-crash
That accident is farther away to the north, but it is still E. River Rd
There was an accident last year even closer to my house to the south than last night’s, that too was a crash that resulted in a burnt car and a dead body.
There was an accident a few years ago to the north, but not as far away as the April story, at the intersection of E. River Rd and 251 and a young man was killed, can’t remember the spelling of his name but his parents owned a flooring company, something like Truhart
There was an accident before that only 4 houses to the south of me, a little girl was hauled off in an ambulance, no death as I recall
And in the 9-years I have lived in the house, the utility pole 2 houses away from me has been replaced three times from cars crashing into it and breaking it off.
And last but not least, I have lost count how many times I have replaced my mailbox
Nobody seems to care, the cops look the other way and have never seriously tried to get the speeding down, the town continues to claim nothing is wrong and nobody has expressed any concern and is in denial over what is happening in their own town.
E. River Rd is a death trap, and nobody seems to care. How many more fatalities do we have to read about before someone steps up and does the right thing?
