Whoa, Hey I'm Alive...?!

Yep. Sleepy hasn't died. How lucky for you. So yeah, In the little hiatus I've had, I've done some pretty awesome stuff. What awesoeme things do I speak of? These...
1. I graduated 8th grade. Yayyyy!
2. I went to a motorcycle race...thing... *will be posting more on that*
3. Got a haircut... like an AWESOME haircut. (think 12 inches off,baby!)
4. Found out that Manchester United is coming to the US... New York Red Bulls vs. ManUtd.?! HOLY SCHNITZEL! So yeppers, if I can convince the mother and father to let me go, I'll be there! There's a package out for $200. Which includes tickets to the ManUtd./Red Bulls match. LA Galaxy/ Red Bulls match, and 2 other Red Bulls matches of your choice. Sooo yeah. I'll definateley try to hop on that bandwagon.
5. Started running for XC. Yeah, I know I said that like, a month and a half ago, but, I'm doing it now.
6. GOT A NEW CAMERA!!! (Pictures will be up soon!)

So, about that motorcycle race-thing. My dad and I drove up to the New Jersey Motorsports park in Millville. Awesome place. Really new, two tracks. So we took his 2 bikes up there. One is a Honda Interceptor (2004?)It's a sports bike, but by no means a track bike. It weighs about 471 lbs. wet. (With fuel and coolant) The other bike is a mut. It has the body of a Honda Hawk GT 647. ('91). And -at the time- the engine of a dirtbike.(?)A Honda CR500('88).This weighs anout 240 lbs. (A two Stroke. Won't go Into details...) Well, RIGHT before he went on the track. It seized. Some price got caught petween the piston and blew something out. **sigh** So he used the beast of an Interceptor to race in. All went well. Oh well. The mut (collectively named "Boneshaker" because of intense two-stroke qualities. Aka- Rattleing 'till the tail falls off....)is now under repair. Oh, and /starting/ the beast is insane. You have to jack up a car, put these conveyer roll thing (handmade) under it, lower the car back cown into it, put the car in reverse, THEN kick start the bike. Letting out clouds of smoke. (Which is a good thing...?)
