In an effort to get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day early, I attended the local St. Patty's Day Parade in Old Sacramento on Saturday. I downed a pint-o-Guinness and a corned beef sandwich ta boot. it was low key, but now I'm warmed up for this Wednesday's festivities!

Sometimes it's the little things that make you smile. In my perusal of one of my many web design resources I discovered our favorite bad boy of dreams needs a job.

Mike Summers is back on track (above: Mike on the left, with son Shaun on the right) with Sport Bike Night. After a long hiatus, he had the first Sport Bike Night at the Sacramento Hard Rock in Sacramento on Feb. 22. It was a good show…mostly talking tech stuff -- a snore for the squids I'm sure -- but good info for yours truley. I got some tire questions answered and the mystery of why my TechSpec tank grips never stuck right last year was solved (bad batch of adhesive). Again, it was a night for the moto geeks.

Of course, since the Sacramento Hard Rock is closing at the end of March 2010 -- which is a good thing given the crappy service I got last night for such overpriced food and beverage -- SBN is moving to Hot Italian as a venue next. Personally, I can't imagine a more suitable place.
