Greetings! Kelly here. It's a semi-stormy Saturday night in the Phoenix area, and that has caused some lamentations in the Teal household. The plan was to ride up to Scottsdale tonight, to The Pavilions (the shopping center at Indian Bend and the 101 where motorcycle and car enthusiasts gather every Saturday, and apparently have for 20 years). The Barrett-Jackson auction is in town and the people who can't afford or don't want to pay to sell their cars at the auction try to hawk them at The Pavilions. So we were really looking forward to a long, varied, zippy ride and spending a couple of hours shooting the schmit with other ZRXers/Ninja-ers (I know, I made that up). I was just pining to ride but, alas.

If you don't live in Arizona, let me explain that we're not afraid we'll melt in the rain or anything. The problem is that it rarely precipitates here; when it does, the roads ooze up slick layers of oil and grease that don't wash away for a while. It's not safe riding.

So tonight we'll be installing my new Ear Cannon — 141 decibels guaranteed to shoot pure adrenaline into the heart of any driver that tries to take me out this world before my time.

Well, I think that does it for now. We're excited to have the TealdoMoto site up and running after about three weeks of hard work. Hope you like it. Please let us know if something doesn't work, or strikes you as unclear, or whatever. We want this site to work for everyone.

Happy riding!
