Harris Performance Fuel Cap Review

Just had a chance to install the Harris Performance Fuel Cap on my 2006 Yamaha R6. I'm very happy with the results. Check out my review and install of the part: Harris Performance Racing Fuel Cap. I'm working on several other reviews and how-to's for the site, so keep checking back!

sportbike track time

I'm really excited because I just registered for my second track day this spring so far! Both events are with Sportbike Track Time. My first event this year, also my first event ever, is at Mid Ohio Speedway, and the second event is going to be at Barber Motorsports Park, down in Leeds, AL.

What's really cool about the second one is that the event includes a dinner and private showing of the Barber Museum. It's going to be a long drive down to Alabama, but it will definitely be worth it!!!

New Flashlight!

So I've been wondering for a while what the clips on the back part of my truck's headliner were for. Someone mentioned to me that it was for a flashlight, but I had trouble finding a flashlight that was large enough. Finally I came across a 6 D-cell Maglite Flashlight. The flash light is definitely large, and will fit into my truck with no problems!

Of course, those who know me well, know that I couldn't leave it "stock." So I researched and found a high-power LED upgrade for the MagLite that puts out over 500 lumens!

Check out the review I wrote on it here: terralux ministar30m led upgrade for maglite flashlights

Update to the Mac

It's been a while since my last blog about the Mac, and everything has been going great! I decided to take advantage of the falling prices of RAM, and upgraded to 16GB, which is the max that this Mac can take. I don't think I should have any issues now! The WinTec ram was no longer available from Newegg, so I ended up purchasing Transcend. No issues with it, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade to their Mac Pro.

I also decided to backup my system and do a clean install of Leopard (OS 10.5). After a few months now of using Leopard, I've been very pleased with it. Everything runs great, and most, if not all, issues that I've had have been resolved!
