*Liam's Wild Ride*

Feliz Navidad from the crew at Zenit! This is a fascinating company that works closely with Repsol and Movistar and handles events, promotions, and organizing al manner of things . . . . like the Dakar Rally! They also represent riders of all disciplines and some of the work they are commisioned to perform makes me think that the US is backwards when it comes to race team marketing. None of the AMA teams and factories do anything like the Europeans, and maybe someday they'll "get it". Though physically small, their office is amazing (better than Dorna's?) and I will try to post pictures and some interesting interview tidbits in the near future.

Thanks Dmac! I don't know if I'll be able to post over the next few days (due to my wireless sources being closed for the holidays) but I spent the past week Christmas shopping with the masses and dodging errant baby carriages. Think the Europeans drive crazy? They SHOP crazy. What a frenzied mess the streets were and eventually I got out of the commercial areas and into the backstreets. Got some useful items for my roomates, like a windshield for a scooter, some D'ior Ja'Dore perfume, and some microwavable bowls. For myself I found a used English bookstore and got a collection of short Science Fiction stories from the greats (all around the 50's-60's era) and also found this neat little shop. They were closed so I wasn't able to *Check* anything out. I'm planning a top-secret trip in early January and I hope to be able to post up some great pictures and tales of new adventures. Once again, to everyone here at Barf and beyond, Merry Christmas, Bones Festas, Buenas Fiestas, Waht-Evaaarr!

merry xmas, and happy new year, liam! i look forward to when you'll get a chance to post again. :)
 
Merry christmas, Liam - I've enjoyed following your story, hope things continue to go well for you, and look forward to more...

here's a christmas gift - this was inspired by a kitchen sink thread on Paris Hilton, and seeing how you've become a photogenic international superstar too it seems appropriate that you get your own:

Thats so cool. It should be called 'Liams worldwide smile':teeth
 
Everyone! Thank you so much for the Christmas Wishes and the luck for the New Year. I´m off to travel for a week and although I have some cool photos to post, I haven´t had time to chop and load them. Plus, I´m not on my computer right now, I´m paying at an internet cafe. I will hopefully have some secret stuff for you guys very soon. . . . .
Endo, that was incredible, truly incredible. Thank you! Everyone else, party like it´s 1999!
 
Liam, I know I don't write much, but I haven't missed the wild ride. :)

Happy New Year and to all the good stuff before and after that.

Maybe you should contact Discovery Channel to send a video crew to follow you around or something. That'd be so cool! :laughing

Anyway, until next time, Brother. :)

Well folks. . . . I´m in Lisbon, Portugal, for my New Year´s celebration. A lot is going on right now in my life but in a week things will have settled and I´ll know a lot more about my future and what it will have in store for me! Pictures and updates will be coming as soon as I can swing them and all I can say right now is that 2006 is looking to be a FUN year! I hope everyone is planning to spend time with their loved ones and I hope no one gets into any trouble on New Year´s Eve.
 
Liam, Lisboa is one of my favorite cities and I am sure you will have fun there too...try to make it out to the historical sites in Sintra as well if you can. There is also a coach museum in Lisboa which is full of low tech horse carriages and worthwhile.
 
ciao liam -

since you are in lisbon, email my pal nuno, who is the ducati club president for portugal ... his email is:
nunos@oni.pt

nuno will show you all the cool motorcycle friendly places to visit in the area, and perhaps loan you one of his bikes to ride while you are there.

ciao,
johnc
 
I guess I had my head up my ass when I suggested some sightseeing for you earlier. I forgot its DAKAR time and you must be in Lisboa for this.
Hope you are having fun!
 
Hey Liam,if you are at the Dakar start look for my friend,Pete Moltmann,riding a bright blue KTM 660 # 119.Wish him and Charlie Rauseo luck if you see them.Thanks for all the entertainment.
 
Jeez, I can't keep any secrets from you guys! :) Thanks for the look-out John, I'll email your buddy after the New Year when I'm done partying!

I haven't had a chance to really update since the places I usually go to for internet access have been closed for the holidays. Once again I'm up at 3:30AM in a hotel lobby checking my mail and keeping you guys posted. This past Christmas was great, and despite not having friends or family around, I made it one to remember. I had a roast chicken, some pink cava, and a monstrous salad. Add some fresh bread and a variety of finger foods and pate's and you have an idea of my Xmas Eve dinner! All my roomates were in Madrid visiting their families, so with nothing to do I went to the largest Catholic Cathedral in Barcelona for the midnight mass. I'm not very religious, but the Spaniards and Italians are, and they do Catholicism like nobody else. Scriptures were read out loud in Latin and the singing, man, the singing was like something out of a movie! I spent some time watching the people and not picking up anything the Priests/Bishops (who knows?!?) were saying. Lots of deep thoughts went through my head and I used the time to plan out 2006. I went home around two, stopped at Dos Trece for a drink, and promptly met the owner. He's a Mexican guy who was lonely around Christmas and we threw back a couple tequilas to celebrate the birth of Christ, the party lasting several hours after the bar had closed. I spent most of Christmas day sleeping and relaxing and used the next few days to soak up more of the city.
