Motorcyclists love to ride and they’ll use virtually any excuse to do so. “I feel like ice cream” is a good one. There’s also, “Who knows when it will be this nice out again!” But aside from Friday the 13th, if you see bunches and bunches of bikes riding en masse, there’s a good chance it’s a fundraiser. …

Years ago when someone would ask me my ultimate career goal I’d say, “to replace Mary Hart on Entertainment Tonight!” Well Mary Hart is finally leaving the show and fortunately for me, my goal of succeeding her was happily abandoned long ago – so I’m not disappointed that I wouldn’t be considered for the job in a million years! …
The Super Modified racers are at Delaware Speedway this weekend. They’re the crazy looking little cars with wings that are direct-drive and have to be push-started but once they get going, they’re the fastest things on asphalt tracks. …
