The 2008 555 


The ultimate dumbass endurance event of 2008! 


We're going to try to update the site every couple of days with pics and the commentary you've become accustomed to on this site (actually just Feat is since he's the one with the laptop). I also added Twitter updates to the site so I can put quick little updates to the site from my cellphone. These will just be tiny blurbs from the side of the road when getting out my laptop is just too darn hard. Hopefully you'll find them interesting.

A quote from Sneaky Pistol's friend from PA...

“It’s always nice to know that you are entrusting your life to a royal piece of shit, right? There is something that they have up here that we don’t have in TN, and that’s an annual safety inspection sticker to go along with the emissions sticker (welcome to the over-regulated, over-litigated NorthEast). The safety sticker is a way of them making sure that a bunch of idiots don’t buy a bunch of unreliable motorcycles and ride them all over the country…”
