Updates from Brandon:

Forgot to update my Twitter. Had an off on the mountain yesterday in the Superbike race at the 27th milestone. Thankfully I am OK!

(John McGuinness was coming up on him and Brandon went wide to give him room...unfortunately he gave him too much room and Brandon managed to clip the curb and literally fell down the mountain. He is OK after being airlifted out and given the once over.)

I need to emphasize that it was not McGuinness' fault that I went down. It was my fault 100%. It is just one of those racing incidents. John was coming through fair and square and I ran out of talent. lol
Got the bike back this morning and it is fixable. Thinking about getting it ready for Wednesday night practice to do a lap and see how I feel.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
