My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits
Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime
Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware
Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase
Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside
Sorry for sidetracking your thread boys, but he started it.

Definitely stacked outliers in the statistical sense. Maybe there is something to that book after all.
On the other topic....Northen Pikes,Glass Tiger and Platnium Blonde. Now that is some unkown Canadian bands.
BLUE RODEO!
What about Rocky, Eye of the Tiger?
Pit Row
I'm not sure if that type of system if better, but it does seem to take away the advantage for the Jan - Mar. birthdays.
Oh yea - I was watching some TV show last week and the intro music was a cover of Fantasy by Aldo Nova. Good stuff!
"Six stars of the Northern Cross" etc. Definitely one of the coolest basslines of all time.
Okay- enough about Rush. We have established that they rule.

I think once you get to big bikes though, most riders are on the same page.
If you look at the results from Loretta's I would bet that your 50,65,85 classes were won by kids that are aging into the next class. So say the kid that won the 65 7-9 class was most likely 10 at Lorettas and next year in the 10-11 class he will be 11 so not the youngest, but then can still ride that 10-11 class again for one more year but will be 12 and now has the upper hand again.
Sorry for my rambling!!! LOL
I like how people mentioned RC's "birthday" - like THAT guy was born on THIS
planet. Of our HUMAN system.
That's a laugh. Chuckle, snort.
I snicker convulsively, much like the vice-president of the Ricky Carmichael
fan club must be, as well.
Hehe. tee-hee. Harumph. Phhhffft.
Cough. Sigh.
In reality, my talent level on a dirtbike wouldn't allow me to hold one of their dirty MX socks.
I realize that RV2's birthday has nothing to do with his speed. I'm just pointing out that Villopoto's success as a pro has more to do with his natural talent and work ethic than his birthday. Same with Carmichael, Stewart, Dungey, Pourcel, and other riders who have birthdays in the second half of the year but are still successful. Although having a birthday in January seems to provide a competitve advantage, it is certainly not the deciding factor in whether a rider will "make it" or not.
