Texas Allergies

Today I went to the allergist to see what the heck it is that I'm allergic to. Here's a picture of the results (and I'm sorry it's so graphic). Okay, so the picture that follows is my back once they've done the "prick" test to see what I'm allergic to. The doctor took the picture for me since it was a rather HUGE reaction. And that cracks me up...
Let's just say, I have a few allergies....1. any grass EVER....2...CEDAR FEVER!!!

Okay, I've grossed you out enough this blog :-)

Police Motorcycle Rodeo at 1st Annual Bay Area Rally

Yesterday, a group of us rode to Space Center Houston for the 1st Annual Bay Area Rally. This rally is a sister rally to the Golden Aspen Rally that is held in Ruidoso NM each year. Maybe next year we can visit that one as it is absolutely gorgeous in Ruidoso. I'm adding 2 videos (with sound) and a few pics of the events and folks that were there.

This is a BMW with a sidecar. That's funny! And the sidecar has a spoiler, psuedo exhaust, and is convertible.

This is a view of only a portion of the competition track. There were roughly 500 cones for the police officers to go through or around. I didn't grab a map of the route to scan in. I'll see if anyone that was there saved one. It was a really extensive course. This is a video of some of the police bikes sitting behind the competition field. We were scoping them out while we could. There were Harley-Davidsons, BMWs, and a Honda ST in the competition. I may have missed a bike though.

This is a video of one of the very first competitors. As you can see, it seems to take for ever for them to bob and weave through the series of cones, but in actuality, it takes less than 3 minutes. Sorry for the language at one spot in the video. This cop did a great run. I can't imagine being the first person thru. He did a second run later on that seemed to be flawless.
