You're right, the crowds were tolerable on Peel. More than half the street was taken up with restaurant patios, with the rest given over to gawkers and super cars. <br /><br />Not my thing, but fun to watch.

Fortunately way out here in western suburbia we can't actually hear the race.<br /><br />I made up for the peace and quiet by riding the Shadow (aka Black Betty, or the Tunderbird) along the lake, disturbing the peace.<br /><br />By the way, I hopped on the highway for an exit's worth, and the turbulence from the windscreen was shaking my head to where I had trouble reading the orverhead road signs (then again I had my helmet open, which didn't help).David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-1911808340875677512015-06-07T15:32:35.201-04:002015-06-07T15:32:35.201-04:00Just went over to revisit you and Bob hot wheeling...Just went over to revisit you and Bob hot wheeling (not) on the F1 track.
