Pretty damn cool...

Yes Paul Brodie is a very cool guy.

I first met Paul at a Road Race at Mission many years ago. He was running his vintage 350 I think at that time. I was the President of the Westwood Motorcycle Racing Club at that point and I had lobbied hard to get the Vintage guys involved. In fact our first test at the track to see if it was usable had "The Tom Mallor" (mentioned in Paul's Race Reports on the site posted) put in some laps faster than the modern guys present. Now in the years that followed I got a chance to know Paul better but my biggest regret is not spending time away from the track with him. Several times I was invited by him to his legendary parties but I had to pass due to work and club responsibilities. Imagine my surprise when one day a fellow racer mentioned Paul's other love. Mountain Bikes. Yes, he is that Paul Brodie. Brodie Mountain Bikes. He is one of the guys that started the craze we all see today. Funny that he never talks about it at the track. He is a racer, builder and all round great guy.

That motivates me. I need to win the lottery so I can afford the time to learn the skills needed to machine like that.
 
.......or if that online girls name is really Wayne.

Flashback does some amazing work, and for being busy as hell he was quite personable and answered my questions about his board tracker. I love the old looking engine in a not old looking track bike!
 
swagger, are you saying that you had a flashback to a time when you turned down online sex with a man named wayne? :D
