yeah, that's the terramostro.

The guy had no real previous experience at pike's peak, and pretty much just unbolted the headlight and was good to go.

makes it all the more amazing

No BP, I had already met you by that point.  I think.  Oh!  Ok, how about this:  I didn't specify that I had only met ONE awesome dude on DI in '07 did I?!?
