SMART Software
Service Management & Route Tracking
SMART Software is the only software created by, and created for Amusement Operators, ATM Operators, and Service Companies.
What We Do
We Offer Complete, Premium Software Solutions for ATM, Amusement, and Service Oriented Businesses.
Who We Are
We have been providing top level software solutions for over 20 years to our ever expanding clientele.
SMART Software Features:
Amusement Smart transitioned us from using paper to computers seamlessly, and we are now spending 50% less time in the money room Even our older collectors who were hesitant to change have embraced Amusement Smart, and now they say with Amusement Smart doing all of the calculations, they would never give up their laptop! For the first time in 10 years our route collections were correct down to the exact penny. The support team at Amusement Smart always gets back to us very, very quickly and they resolve our problems very, very fast.Scott Dougherty
Owner D&D Amusement Games, LLC
We are very pleased with the Amusement Smart Software. I could not image going back to our old method. We were able to eliminate one part-time data entry person who was entering the data from our collection sheets into our old program. That alone covered our annual cost of the new software. Perhaps the most important thing I have found has been the support after the sale, any software issues were looked at and fixed in a timely manner and support has been excellent since day one, I am glad we choose to partner with Amusement Smart.Don Stowe

Stuck with farm bill mess until 2018
The low whimpering and muffled whining heard in farm country this month are not the gripes and grunts of corn and soybean growers trudging through 2015's purgatory of under-$4 corn and less-than-$10 beans.
Common threads of Big Ag and 'New Ag' success farming takes risk, commitment
The Progressive Farmer magazine's February issue resembles most mid-winter issues of most U.S. farm magazines.
Big Ag's weak hand in nitrate fight
In May 2013 Iowa implemented the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, a program that all but admitted the state's ag runoff was a growing problem that required joint attention from farmers, local communities and the state.
The COOL facts: American people love it, others don't
Country of origin labeling, or COOL, for meat, fruit, vegetables and nuts sold in the U.S. has been kicked around by the courts, politicians, international trade panels and special interest farm groups since it became law in 2008.
Winter from the window
Short snaps of deep cold were not rare but all were deeply unwelcome. The cows, the hired men, the plumbing, the shivering calves, the machinery—everyone and everything—moved slower or not at all when temperatures fell to zero or below.
Patterns: Welcome back, foodie
We didn't know it back then but everyone on the big southern Illinois dairy farm of my youth was a foodie.
2015 is dirt's big year to shine
This year, center your resolutions around soil health.
You're right, I'm wrong… Next!
Readers respond to Alan Guebert's columns from second half of 2014.
Crop insurance: Flawed and fixable
Federally subsidized crop insurance is the elephant in the Farm Bill pantry and anyone who had any role in pushing the law through the zoo called Congress knows it.
Groundhog Day again and again
Thanksgiving is in the rearview mirror, Christmas in the windshield and, given the glacial pace of key policy decisions awaiting resolution in Washington, D.C., it's just another Groundhog Day out here in rural America.

The housing market is largely unchanged from the previous month and is on the outer range of the benchmark for historic housing activity, Freddie Mac reported Aug. 31 in its Multi-Indicator Market Index. Thirty-eight states plus the District of Columbia have MiMi values within range of their benchmark averages.
Ten years after the housing bubble burst, nine states and the District of Columbia still have a foreclosure backlog of loans originated between 2004 and 2008, according to analytics firm ATTOM Data Solutions, Forbes reported Aug. 26. Topping the list is the District of Columbia, where 76 percent of loans originated during that four-year period are in foreclosure.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced Aug. 25 that its Home Affordable Refinance Program will be extended to Sept. 30, 2017, and that a new refinance product aimed at borrowers with high loan-to-value ratios will be available next year through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York on Aug. 22 rejected a request to reconsider its ruling that overturned a $1.27 billion penalty against Bank of America for mortgage fraud, Reuters reported. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara had hoped the government could pursue a new trial.
Average fixed mortgage rates were unchanged during the past week, remaining near historic lows ahead of Fed Chair Janet Yellen's comments on a possible rate hike, Freddie Mac reported Aug. 25 in its Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency on Aug. 8 released stress test results for government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that showed the GSEs could need as much as $125.8 billion in bailout money during a severe economic downturn, Bloomberg reported. FHFA said the minimum bailout figure would be $49.2 billion.
Global economic and political uncertainties, the ever-changing retail sector and volatile energy markets are three of the key trends that will play significant roles in commercial real estate for the upcoming year, the Urban Land Institute reported Aug. 10. Other expected trends include steady interest rates and limited supply growth.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers on Aug. 10 released a report that showed community banks remained strong across a variety of measures - including lending growth and geographic reach - since the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010. The report noted, however, that branch consolidation is problematic.
Citing "a host of serious consumer protection concerns," the nation's largest professional association of real estate appraisers joined 10 trade associations Tuesday to oppose recent changes to the federal government's Property Assessed Clean Energy loans, known as PACE loans.
Banks continue to scrutinize commercial real estate loans, reporting that they tightened standards during the second quarter, which is the fourth consecutive quarter of such tightening, the Federal Reserve reported in its July Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices. Banks reported that residential loan standards were mostly unchanged.

Pathfinder: an online collaboration environment for citizen scientists
Citizen science
Citizen science is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists. Formally, citizen science has been defined as "the systematic collection and analysis of data; development of technology; testing of natural phenomena; and the dissemination of these activities by researchers on a primarily avocational basis". Citizen science is sometimes called "public participation in scientific research.
more from Wikipedia
Collaboration is working together to achieve a goal. It is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together to realize shared goals, (this is more than the intersection of common goals seen in co-operative ventures, but a deep, collective, determination to reach an identical objective) ¿ for example, an intriguing endeavor that is creative in nature¿by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus.

Pathfinder (RAF)
The Pathfinders were target marking squadrons in RAF Bomber Command during World War II. They located and marked targets with flares, which a main bomber force could aim at, increasing the accuracy of their bombing. The Pathfinders were normally the first to receive new blind bombing aids like Gee, Oboe and the H2S radar. The early Pathfinder Force (PFF) squadrons was expanded to become a group, No. 8 (Pathfinder Force) Group in January 1943.

Data collection
Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting data, for example, as part of a process improvement or similar project. The purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on record, to make decisions about important issues, or to pass information on to others. Data are primarily collected to provide information regarding a specific topic.
more from Wikipedia
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. For humans, sustainability is the long-term maintenance of responsibility, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and encompasses the concept of stewardship, the responsible management of resource use. In ecology, sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time, a necessary precondition for the well-being of humans and other organisms.
more from Wikipedia
Division of labour
Division of labour is the specialization of cooperative labour in specific, circumscribed tasks and like roles. Historically an increasingly complex division of labour is closely associated with the growth of total output and trade, the rise of capitalism, and of the complexity of industrialisation processes. Division of labour was also a method used by the Sumerians to categorise different jobs, and divide them to skilled members of a society.

FRANKLIN – Residents can drop off school supplies July 11 at Wal-Mart Cool Springs to help provide backpacks full of supplies for upcoming giveaways in Franklin and Fairview.
Each person donating from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 11 will get a free hot dog grilled by Atmos Energy employee volunteers at the store on Mallory Lane. The most-needed supplies are glue sticks, index cards, Crayola markers, colored pencils and composition books. The goal is to fill 2,000 backpacks with supplies.
Any other time, donors can drop off supplies at Williamson County Fifth Third branches, the Whole Foods store on McEwen or the United Way office at 209 Gothic Court, Ste. 107, in Franklin.
Several organizations are collaborating to get backpacks to children who need them.

#8150 closed bug (fixed)
removeAttr issue in webkit, firefox
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Blocked by:
When scrolled to a point in a page, anywhere below the top and removeAttr("width") or removeAttr("height") is called on an img element, it forces the page to scroll to the top or near the top. Calling the DOM method removeAttribute on the same element does not cause this behavior. The image of course should be the same width and height of the attribute values, so that when the attributes are removed, the image element itself does not adjust.
This happens in the following browsers on a windows xp system: Chrome 8.0.552.237 Firefox 3.6.11 Safari 5.0 (7533.16) IE6 :(

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced jsFiddle test case to help us assess your ticket!
Additionally, test against the jQuery 0 GIT version to ensure the issue still exists.

- Owner changed from chad.jefferies@… to jitter
- Priority changed from undecided to low
- Status changed from pending to assigned
- Version changed from 1.4.2 to 1.5
This happens because .removeAttr calls .attr( "height", "" ) before removing the attribute (due some IE bugs). Which in this case basically causes the image height to be 0px for a very short amount of time before the height attribute is removed. Short but long enough for some browsers to reflow the page and jumping to top of the page.
In Chrome, for me, it even breaks scrolling the page after having hit .removeAttr("height").

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 697 reviews
Checking in took a while and could have been managed more efficiently with more staff at the counter. Fun, fantastical-themed room made it a joy to return to after a long day out in Vienna. However, there wasn't any room service but staff advised I could browse the menu from the restaurant and order something to have it delivered to my room. Would have been nice to have an actual copy of the menu in the room if this was already possible anyway. Overall, satisfied with my stay at the hotel as the rooms were a delight and the location was perfect.
Different style hotel with good design. I think it is also nice for couples. Used it for business trip and conference. I would recommend for a short 2-3 days stay in Vienna. Wifi was good unlike in many hotels. Only parts of room a bit dusty and I could not connect to the bluetooth sound device provided in the room.
Excellent location, nice rooftop bar with great views across the city, staff helpful (they lent me an umbrella when it was raining!) - overall a good place to stay, would recommend.
The hotel was in a great location for everything. The food and music there is also awesome. The hotel is fun and a wonderful upbeat and modern. They hotel staff was just great. If I ever travel again and see that there is a 25hr hotel available where I am going, I will be staying there!
great location,good rooftop, great lobby, good restaurants, funny shop, very average room in terms of comfort
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

My heart is free, my head is clear.
I don't run back to your memory every change I get.
But your spirit still echos certain halls in my soul
And most times I let it take hold
And drag me back to those long twisted roads
With pointless conversations
Really loud music
And our mysterious looks that left me shaken
That made it all magical.
I catch my breath when I think someone is you
I hold my tongue with most - try to talk about someting new
Because it's hard for them to understand
Hard even for me to comprehend
That you were here and now your gone
Yet I still feel you.
Still hear you.
And I know I'm happy with my life that's being lived without you.
But what if I live this life without ever seeing you again
Never holding your hand
Never seeing that smile or hearing your voice
Those moments trapped in my heart
And never getting to say goodbye
..... never getting to say goodbye.

No property tax increase in 2013 for Vanderbilt
It's been more than 20 years since Vanderbilt property owners have faced a tax increase and that won't change next year.
Council on Tuesday passed the 2013 budget with revenues set at $39,410 and expenditures set at $30,375.
The millage rate was set at 1.040.
In other business, code enforcement officer Joe Ambrose reminded residents that burning is allowed in the borough only on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
"I've been getting a lot of burning complaints this month," he said.
Council asked residents to contact state police at Uniontown when they see four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles driving on roadways or in the borough park.
A motion was passed to renew workers compensation insurance for $5,647.
Council appointed Sheila Kurtz as representative to the Southwest Regional Tax Bureau committee delegation and Jeff Walters as the alternate.

Francesca Miles: Model, musician and motorcycle stunt rider!
You look at the stunt riding videos and you admire the sheer talent. You wish you could ride like that and somewhere deep down you grudgingly accept that you probably never will be able to. "These stunt rider dudes really are something else," you think. Only, in this case, there is no 'dude' in the video (scroll down for the video). It's a 20-year-old girl. And, boy, can she ride!!
Based in London, Francesca 'Chesca' Miles is the UK's only female professional motorcycle stunt rider. She's only been stunt riding for the last six months but look at pics and videos of her and you'd think she's been stunt riding for years. Suitably impressed, we decided to catch up with her for a quick chat. Here are some excerpts from what Chesca had to say:
On her company, Stunt Starz
Stunt Starz is a streetbike freestyle team based in London and consists of two riders – Alstar and I. We started the team back in 2009 as a two-up duo team, as I wasn't riding then! After I came to learn on my bike, we became a two-rider team. We perform at live shows and gigs around the country and constantly work hard on trying to promote Streetbike Freestyle as a more recognised sport.
On the highs and lows of the last few months, since she started stunt riding
I have only ridden my Honda CBR600 for about 4-5 months. Haven't been riding during the cold months. Therefore I haven't really had long enough to say too much. However, I have found the pressures of riding do catch up. Being a female in this sport is quite hard. Females require a little more encouragement and support, of which I don't really receive from others in my sport. That's probably the hardest thing about it all, but just got to keep on going, no matter what. The highs, however… well, they are simply stunting itself. What an amazing feeling it is and a pleasure to be doing so!
On whether motorcycle stunt riding all about inborn talent, skills acquired through endless practise or sheer fearlessness
Stunting does take a proportion of talent, yes, but anyone can learn it, really. It is more about learning how to control your bike and not about trying to do things out of your comfort zone. It takes a long time to achieve each single step, but once you are there, it is very worth it! You do have to have an element of fear. That way, it will hold you back from trying to run when you must walk first – this makes for a better rider in the long run!
On whether the difference in physical strength, between male and female riders, makes a big difference in stunt riding
I don't think it makes a huge difference but, yes, it does slightly. Having a 600cc machine to shift about isn't an easy thing at times and I often find strain on my back and arms where I have tried to move the bike etc. Although, most of this sport is about having the machine at 'Balance Point,' and the bike becomes completely weightless when there. The more you keep it inside 'BP' the easier it becomes.
I don't necessarily follow a regime for fitness as stunt riding itself tends to be just that. I do, however, do yoga when I train. That way, I can keep as flexible as possible.
On what her friends and family had to say about her decision to start stunt riding
My family, well, they didn't really say too much to be honest. Although I heard muttering here and there that perhaps they thought it was cool and maybe dangerous, they never really said anything. They were not as supportive as I had imagined, nor encouraging. As for other male riders, some are highly fascinated and want to know lots about it (ha ha!) and others, well they are simply not very interested! But, the majority of men are highly intrigued by what I do, which is flattering to say the least.
On whether she's a deeply competitive person
I am not really competitive, no. I did want to race motorcycles when I was around 14 years old but again I didn't receive any support from my family so had to sell my RS125 to someone who'd be able to use it. I have quite a competitive streak when it comes to Go-karting though. I must admit, I've always had a little passion for it since I was around it most of my life whilst growing up!
On her work away from motorcycle stunting – modelling and music
I do modelling work on a part-time basis now. I used to model full-time but with the business, I wouldn't be able to keep up with everything and stunt riding is my number-one priority (apart from my singing). So, as for singing, I usually jam with my band a few times a week and we hit live music venues every week as well to jam. Music is my first love. I have been into my music and singing since I was very small. I had bands and live gigs from when I was about 10 years old. I manage to fit everything quite nicely around my schedule which is great but it is gradually getting more and more full!
On what really makes her happy
I will always sing – that is my main aim, to hit live venues and share the music with people, as well as acting. As for stunting, well, that too. I love it so much and it really is the way for me to de-stress and wind down. Those things together are definitely the careers I will never lose from my life. As for modelling, well, that isn't something I really enjoy. It isn't really me and just something I was pushed into at a young age. I would love to carry on a career within television and media.
On what's her dream bike
Errrm, silly as it may sound, the Honda CBR1000RR is my favourite bike. I can't answer why; it just has been since I was about 15 years old. I guess that may never die!
Some of Chesca's favourite things:
Streetbike: Honda CBR-F / Kawasaki 636
Racebike: Honda CBR1000RR
Stunt rider: Jorian Ponomareff
Motorcycle racer: Valentino Rossi
Music: Jazz / Blues
Movie: The Green Mile / We Were Soldiers
Food: Pasta!
Drink: Pure orange juice / Tomato juice (with Tabasco, yum!)
Fashion label: Jane Norman
Holiday destination: Bahamas
We thank Chesca for taking the time to talk to Faster and Faster and wish her all the very best for her career. You can visit her website here and follow her on Twitter here. Please also visit the Stunt Starz website here

In conversation with MotoGP lensman, Martin Heath
"Trying to shoot hungover, with a 130db racebike invading your eardrums, is not a good idea," says Martin Heath, who travels the world shooting MotoGP pics. Below is a small selection of his work...
Martin Heath, who's been a professional photographer since 1998, specialises in our most favourite sport in the world – MotoGP. For the last three years, Martin has been travelling to every single MotoGP race around the globe to shoot pics, and his list of clients includes many leading motorcycle publications worldwide.
Martin, who's now about 30 years old, got started with cameras when he was just nine years old. 'Always been quite arty and creative at school, so rather than become a painter or sculptor etc., I got into photography. As a kid, I thought it was way cooler to have a gadget than a paintbrush or a pencil,' he says.
We thought anyone who travels the world shooting pics in the high-speed, high-stakes world of MotoGP would definitely have some interesting tales to tell. So we caught up with Martin for a brief chat. Here are some excerpts from what he had to say:
On how he got started with shooting motorcycle racing pics
Started with British Superbikes back in 2000. Then started attending the odd MotoGP race, starting with the British GP and Donington Park from 2002. From there, mainly all the European MotoGPs, and then for the last three years, every MotoGP race. Why bikes? Because I was born into a family of motorcycles. My Dad had two when I was born and I remember going to Brands Hatch when I was four or five years old, in his sidecar.
On the unique challenges of shooting pics in MotoGP
Very little can be controlled and 95% of the time you are shooting with what's given, i.e., a set time, place, weather etc. So, generally, you have to deliver – you can't go back and just redo it all like working in a studio.
On the photographic equipment he uses to shoot his pics
All Canon EOS1D mk2n bodies, as I still believe that for what I do it's the best body Canon have made. 500/4 IS USM is the main workhorse lens, along with 70-200/2.8 IS mk1, but looking at upgrading to the new mk2. 16-35/2.8, 14/2.8 and x1.4mk2 converter. Also use a 15/2.8 fisheye. Canon flashes, 580ex.
On the experience of travelling to every MotoGP race every year
I do every MotoGP race in a year – eighteen. And between March and November, I probably spend more time in the paddock at a racetrack than anywhere else. It's like my second family, so it's always good to catch up with everyone.
On the best and the worst tracks for shooting pics
For atmosphere, the best tracks are those with the biggest crowds on race days, so Mugello (Italy) for the Rossi factor. Next year will be off the chart as he's on a Ducati now! And Spain – Jerez and Valencia. Shooting wise, Mugello and Jerez are high up there as my favourites, but also probably Phillip Island in Australia (we go there in their springtime, so it can be freezing!), because the air is so pure and unpolluted there, it gives a really nice, crisp, saturated image.
The worst are probably Silverstone and Indianapolis, just because of the lack of access and how far the track is away from where you shoot from.
Best experiences? Probably being there when Rossi won his first race for Yamaha at Welkom, in South Africa, in 2004. Also, any Rossi victory at Mugello!
On what's the best place for having a wild time, and what place has the hottest women and the best food, parties etc!
I'd imagine most of the fans get the 'wild time' rather than us, who work there! Trying to shoot hungover, with a 130db racebike invading your eardrums, is not a good idea! Best food? Italy, without question! Women? Spain, Italy and USA. Parties? Only really have one big organised party for the whole paddock, after the last race at Valencia, which starts at midnight and runs to about seven in the morning. With a free bar. That can get interesting! Dullest? Hmm..., not very fair but probably Qatar, as there is generally an alcohol ban, there is no crowd there and the food is not great.
On which racers are the most cooperative and fun to shoot with
Usually the most cooperative rider is the one that has been told you are shooting them by their team or sponsors! But the easiest and friendliest are ones that you probably have the best relationship with. Nicky Hayden is great and he's always funny and amusing to be around. And all the Brits, so Cal Crutchlow, Scott Redding, Bradley Smith, Danny Webb and Danny Kent. There are some prima donnas, but my lips are sealed – I will have to work with them again after they read this!
On whether sports photography is a good way to make tons of money
No, it's definitely not a good way to make tons of money! Nobody who works regularly at MotoGP is 'rich,' and that includes most of the riders! However, I have no real regrets apart from the fact I would have liked to have started earlier.
On whether he loves bikes
Yes, the majority of people that work full time at MotoGP, I would say have a real passion for it. You need to! That's the main perk! It's not always as glamorous as it sounds though. I started riding bikes at five. Did some trials riding and motocross, then started roadracing at 16. I did a few years racing production 250s, but ran out of money pretty quickly. Now I prefer to go motocross or enduro. In fact I've just got back from spending new years, riding Suzuki's 2011 RMZ250 and RMX450 dirtbikes, and I would like to get a new trials bike this year.
On what's the fastest he's ever ridden
On a bike, I've been up to about 240km/h, but I'm not telling whether that was street or track!
On his favourite MotoGP title contender for 2011
My head says Casey Stoner on the Honda. I was there at Valencia at the end of last year, when Casey was just completely drifting the RCV through the long left that leads into the last corner, after only about six or seven laps on that Honda. My heart says Rossi on the Ducati, because it will be the final piece of the jigsaw for his amazing MotoGP career. But I also think Lorenzo will be as tough or tougher defending his crown, and Ben Spies will win races. But ultimately it will boil down to consistency and who avoids injury. On paper, it could be the most exciting season since we moved to MotoGP!
We thank Martin for taking the time to speak to Faster and Faster, and we wish him all the best for his MotoGP photography. For more about the man and his work, please visit Martin's website here and his Facebook page here

Keith Code: The evolution of the art of cornering
Keith Code says that the art of cornering a motorcycle has already evolved through four complete phases, and phase five is now upon us. It certainly makes for interesting reading...
Motorcyclists love corners, right? Doing 300km/h in a straight line on a ZZR1400 is all very well, but riding a properly sorted NSR/RGV/TZ/RS250 through a set of mountain twisties produces a rush of adrenaline like nothing else on the planet. Some time back, Keith Code wrote a piece on the evolution of the art of cornering, which we thought was quite interesting. Here are some excerpts:
The evolution of the art of cornering has had four complete phases so far. The neat, tidy, knees-to-tank, stretched-out-on-the-bike style of the 19-teens through the 1960s was handed down as the path of least resistance. You could say it was the 'natural' style of riding.
Phase two. Mike Hailwood let his inside knee come off the tank in the 1960s and practically created a stock market panic in the riding style etiquette market – it was a huge departure from tradition. Paul Smart, Barry Sheene and others followed. Then, phase three, Jarno Saarinen actually moved his butt off the seat a bit, which was emulated by many.
The fourth phase is credited to and was pioneered by Kenny Roberts Sr's knee-down, hang-off style in the 1970s. Initially this earth-shattering look was quite personal to the rider, each having his own iteration of the new form. Cal Rayborn and Kel Carruthers were halfway guys, still clinging a bit to phase two. Some others had lots of bum off, some with lots of leg and knee off, some rotated around the tank a la Mick Doohan. A few went head and body way down and on the inside of the tank, Randy Mamola style. Some hung-off but remained sitting more upright, like Kevin Schwantz.
The torso positions for the 500cc world champs of the era; Eddie Lawson, Freddie Spencer and Wayne Rainey, were half way between – on the tank but not inside it. Most of the originals also tended to ride forward on the tank and finally everyone was stationary in their hung-off position once in the corner. The neat part of that era, with all these splinter groups, was that a fan could have instant recognition of the individual's style and look. Not so today, when phase five is upon us.
Conceptually, hanging off couldn't be simpler. Lower the combined Center-of-Gravity (CG) of the bike/rider combination and you go through the same corner at the same speed, on the same line with less lean angle – a brilliantly utilitarian racer's tool with huge residual benefits, chief among them being an accurate, on-board gauge for lean angle. And true to most evolutionary progressions, function now rules the new look and style of road racers.
Take a look – riders are low and inside of their bikes. More and more we see them perfectly in line with the machine, not twisted or rotated in the saddle. The bum off/body twisted back across the top of the bike positioning, which many phase four riders had been doing, was and still is an interesting piece of self-deception. With their torso mass on the higher side of the bike, it not only neutralizes the mass of the hips being off the bike but actually is a negative, raising the combined bike and rider CG, defeating the technique's main function and purpose.
Other notable changes in phase five include not being so stretched out as before, but not always with the family jewels on the tank either. The one new variable in phase five riders is coming further off the bike mid-corner to exit. You'll see it on the bum-cam position next time you watch riders like Rossi in MotoGP. That and the fore/aft in the saddle differences appear to be the only options available to phase five evolution racers.
We have five choices now in how we can look and relate to our bikes. If you keep your eye on the style's function and do some limbering exercises, all the benefits of phase five will become apparent as you become comfortable with it. Is it easy? My experience says it is not a natural style at all and riders are hard pressed to assume the new form. If it is your desire to do it, I suggest taking your time and, step by step, experimenting with each of the stages through which it has evolved. Good luck!

MotoMorphic JaFM: It's about 'standout,' not 'speed'
Think the MotoMorphic JaFM is cool? You can have one, provided you're willing to shell out at least US$100,000 and above for the bike...
Pics: William Ross
We wrote about the MotoMorphic JaFM back in June 2008, when we published the first few pics of Jim Davis' radical custom bike on Faster and Faster. Now, MotoMorphic have released more pics of the JaFM, which, with its outsized tyres and comically outlandish chassis, looks as over-the-top as ever.
Davis says the 'inspiration' for the JaFM came from streetfighters, fat tyres, American muscle cars and fighter planes. 'Along with the massive visual impact of the MotoMorphic JaFM, there is a balance and congruity to the overall design. Overall, the bike functions exceptionally well, as a radical yet eminently rideable motorcycle that makes an undeniable statement about its owner and his/her individuality,' claims the bike's creator.
Oh, well, there's more to the JaFM than its styling. The engine, for one. It's a 998cc DOHC 8-valve Rotax V-twin, mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The engine produces about 110bhp and 90Nm of torque, which we suppose should be just about adequate for a bike that weighs close to 250 kilos. Top speed is in excess of 160km/h and MotoMorphic admit that the JaFM is more about getting attention rather than going very fast. They also claim that the bike's fully adjustable ergonomics make it quite comfortable to ride.
If you want a JaFM, MotoMorphic will tailor make one for you, though with a base price of US$100,000 you'd have to want one pretty bad. The bike comes with high-spec components: fully adjustable Ohlins fork and Penske shock, Brembo brakes, Dynojet Power Commander III with optimised mapping and optional bits like carbonfibre bodywork and components, Ostrich or Stingray hide upholstery, various CNC-machined aluminium bits, stainless steel brake and clutch lines, wave rotors, a rear-view camera system and many other toys.
Here's a video of the JaFM in action...

Münch TTE-1.2: Son of the Mammut
The Münch TTE-1.2 won the 2010 TTXGP world championship and the manufacturer's title in the 2010 FIM e-Power race series. They are now preparing for the 2011 season...
Those who've been following the electric bike racing scene would probably know that in 2010, a legendary German company won the 2010 TTXGP world championship and the manufacturer's title in FIM's newly set up e-Power series. That company is none other than Münch, which was established in the mid-1960s by one Friedel Münch, who went on to build the absolutely outrageous Mammut TTS-E and, later, along with Thomas Petsch, the equally outlandish Mammut 2000.
You can read about the old Münch Mammut here, but this story is about Münch's comeback vehicle – the TTE-1.2 racebike. The old Mammut was a pretty radical machine for its time, and by eschewing the internal-combustion engine in favour of an electric motor, the TTE-1.2 follows in its footsteps. The TTE-1.2 is fitted with a lithium-ion battery pack that powers its three-phase synchronous motor, which produces 90kW (120 horsepower), which is sufficient to push the 220-kilo bike to a top speed of more than 200km/h. The TTE-1.2's range, depending on how hard the bike is ridden, is between 40-150km.
Münch have engineered the bike to exacting standards and they've fitted top-spec components to ensure the bike delivers very high levels of performance on the track. The TTE's Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes and steel-aluminium spaceframe chassis (with 52/48 front/rear weight distribution) have all been extensively tested and optimised for high-speed performance.
The 40-year-old Matthias Himmelmann, the man who raced the Münch TTE-1.2 in the TTXGP and FIM's e-Power series in 2010, is probably no Valentino Rossi. But he does having about 20 years of motorcycle racing experience. And he had some very capable people supporting his efforts on the track. In 2010, the Münch team consisted of Thomas Schuricht (automotive electrician), Marko Werner (automotive electrician and mechatronic engineer), Thomas Petsch (Friedel Münch's erstwhile partner, hardcore motorcycle enthusiast, entrepreneur and owner of Münch Motorrad Technik GmbH), Ralf Ernst (handles administration, organisation, sales and marketing for Münch) and Stefan Stepputtis (finance). By winning the manufacturer's title in the e-Power series, this small team was able to keep the Münch name alive.
Today, the TTE-1.2 is a pure racebike but with fast-paced developments in battery and electric motor technology, Münch just might be able to do a street-legal version of the TTE in the not-too-distant future. And then, in deference to the Mammut heritage, they'll probably build an electric bike with a dozen lithium-ion batteries, six electric motors (with each motor producing at least 100bhp), two-wheel-drive, computer-controlled air-suspension and hubless wheels... :-)
Welcome back, Münch!

Solomoto's Motoczysz E1pc riding impression
'I've got this thing I do to relax. I imagine I'm on my bike, and I just shift gears in my head. I did it just this morning in the shower. Then I caught myself – my bike doesn't do that anymore! It doesn't have gears. It doesn't even make noise. So I'm not dreaming in electric yet. I'm still dreaming in gas,' said Michael Czysz, speaking to Motorcyclist magazine, when they interviewed Czysz for their November issue this year.
About five years ago, Czysz was working on the C1-990, a 990cc MotoGP prototype, which ultimately didn't get a chance to get off the ground given MotoGP's move to 800cc machines in 2007. The move also happened to coincide with a gradual, but steady, build-up of interest in electric bikes and electric bike racing. And Czysz decided to change tracks and build an electric racebike – the E1pc. 'The change to electric was more about inevitability than opportunity. I realized almost immediately that everything we were trying to accomplish with the C1 project, we could do better with an electric bike,' says Czysz, in the Motorcyclist magazine interview.
And indeed, Motoczysz did do very well with their electric racebike, with the E1pc winning the 2010 TTXGP at the Isle of Man. The Motoczysz E1pc is an impressive motorcycle all right. It is fitted with a DC, brushless, oil-cooled electric motor from Remy, which is fed by a pack of five lithium-polymer batteries and which produces 125 horsepower and a constant 343Nm of torque. The chassis is made of carbonfibre and the suspension comprises of a fully adjustable Öhlins shock at the rear and Czysz's proprietary '6X Flex' fork at the front. The bike rides on magnesium wheels made by Marchesini and the top-notch race-spec Brembo brakes (with monobloc radial-mount callipers at the front) provide impressive stopping performance – important for a bike that weighs 238kg, that can hit a top speed that's in excess of 260km/h, and the price for which is estimated to be more than US$250,000.
You want fast? The Motoczysz is fast. The battery-powered bike hit a top speed of 261.82km/h at the Bonneville Salt Flats in August this year...!
Spanish magazine Solomoto recently had the opportunity to test ride the E1pc, and here are some brief excerpts from what they have to say about this digital racer.
Visually, the E1Pc looks like a shark, with a genetic code that's deeply rooted in racing. In the place where you'd normally find an engine, there's the bike's removable D1g1tal Dr1ve battery pack. You have to get used to switching it on. There's no noise or vibration – just a green light on the digital instrumentation that tells you the bike is ready to go. Twist the throttle and the E1pc lunges forward like a compact 600cc supersports machine. The riding position is very sporty, with high footpegs and low bars. Just like a proper racebike, of course.
On the move, the E1pc's power delivery is straightforward, clean and uninterrupted. Acceleration is similar to that of a 600cc supersports bike's, and spinning at 16,000rpm, the E1pc's electric motor makes a Star Wars-esque whistling noise that's strangely pleasant. However, the bike's weight – all of 238 kilos – makes it a bit awkward and saps the rider's confidence at high speeds. The bike has tight, aggressive steering geometry, but the weight – most of which is due to the batteries – stops the E1pc from being very agile.
Electric propulsion has some undeniable advantages – it allows you to concentrate fully on your lines and lets you open the throttle while exiting corners, without the added complications of having to worry about shifting gears. Just open the throttle and go!
Michael Czysz is now working on the 2011 E1pc, which will be lighter and more powerful than the 2010 version, and will also have better software controlling the bike's D1g1tal powertrain. As it exists now, the E1pc is a bit heavy, very expensive and as yet unapproved for street use. It's also very quiet, smooth, does not require any maintenance, does not pollute and offers performance that's actually very impressive.
Coming back to the Motorcyclist magazine interview, 'The work I'm doing with this motorcycle might someday actually make the world a better place,' says Michael Czysz. Hmm..., you know what, it just might!

Bill Finegan was probably the finest ever arranger in the popular music field and was snapped up to work for two of the richest bandleaders, Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. "Glenn Miller was not a nice guy," said Finegan. "I didn't like the way he treated people. We sort of had an armed truce when I was with him."
Miller signed Finegan up to write for his band in 1938 and in 1939 Finegan created the famous version of "Little Brown Jug" for his boss. Finegan resented the fact that on the band's weekly broadcasts Miller always allowed it to be announced as "from the ace arranger himself, Glenn Miller". In fact, Miller had stopped writing for the band when Finegan joined. When Finegan remonstrated with the bandleader, Miller always promised to put the matter right. Finegan became resigned to the fact that he never would.
The maudlin Hollywood tearjerker The Glenn Miller Story was predicated on the idea that, when at the end of the film Miller's plane disappeared over the English Channel, he had left behind as a present for his wife his newly written arrangement of "Little Brown Jug." It was in fact Finegan's 1939 arrangement.
Starting as a pianist and trumpet player, Finegan began writing for a jazz band with three trumpets and three saxophones that he put together whilst he was at school. He played as a semi-professional with several bands in the New Jersey resorts and didn't become fully professional until he joined Miller. In 1938 he wrote an arrangement of "Lonesome Road" and sent it unsolicited to Tommy Dorsey.
"I threw everything into it but the kitchen sink," he told me. Dorsey recorded the arrangement and it became a hit. When Miller heard it, he was so impressed that he tracked Finegan down and put him on the band's payroll.
"I had to write two arrangements for the band every week," Finegan said. "That was a lot of hard work. By the time I left him in 1942 I'd written about 300 charts. 'Little Brown Jug' put the band on the map. The clarinet lead that he was so famous for drove me nuts. He used to tell me what to write and I ignored him and wrote what I thought was right."
Finegan arranged many of Miller's greatest hits including "Song of the Volga Boatmen", "Sunrise Serenade" (a popular song from 1869), "Stairway to The Stars", "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Serenade in Blue". He also wrote the music that the band played in the films Sun Valley Serenade (1941) and Orchestra Wives (1942).
After working for Horace Heidt and Les Elgart between 1942 and 1946, Finegan was called in by Dorsey and, although not full time with the band, became its main arranger. By now he was much influenced by two other writers, Sy Oliver, who had become a close friend, and Duke Ellington.
"Bill could write rings around me," Oliver said modestly. "With Tommy again I wrote what I call show-off arrangements," said Finegan. "He was really great and went along with whatever I wanted to do."
Finegan studied with the German composer and teacher Stefan Wolpe in New York. "I lived in Paris from 1949 to 1951," he told me in a radio programme for the BBC. "I was studying composition, but I used to fly over to London regularly to rehearse arrangements that I wrote for Geraldo's orchestra. He had a fine band, and I remember many of his musicians with much affection. People like Laddie Busby, Keith Bird and the arranger Angela Morley. In 1952 my friend the composer and arranger Eddie Sauter wrote to me on the back of a rejection slip he'd received from some dumb bandleader and casually suggested that we should form a band. He wasn't serious, but the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra came out of it."
Sauter-Finegan was an extraordinary 21-piece band, the like of which has never been seen before or since. The music was so complex that it depended on first-class musicians, many of whom contributed on three or four instruments each . The exquisite music of Sauter and Finegan frolicked in every range of the band, with fife and piccolo at the top and tuba and bass trombone at the bottom.
Although never a raging success, the band was able to go on tour between 1952 and 1957 and it recorded a dozen or so albums. Its biggest hit was "The Doodletown Fifers", based on an old Civil War song. "Midnight Sleigh Ride" called for horse's hooves as an introduction and backing, and Finegan achieved this sound by stripping to the waist and beating his chest before the microphone.
"From the time Eddie and I formed the band, everything went wrong but the music," said Finegan mournfully. Finances stretched and then snapped, but the band did make a short film, The Sauter-Finegan Orchestra, on its last tour in 1958.
When the band broke up, Finegan and Sauter continued to work together writing commercial jingles that were destined for television.
In 1970 Finegan wrote some arrangements for the Glenn Miller "ghost" band and, more interestingly, was commissioned by his pal, the drummer Mel Lewis, to write for Lewis's contemporary band. In 1985, four years after Sauter's death, Finegan directed a 30-year reunion of the Sauter-Finegan band in concert at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.
He was revered and befriended in his later years by many sensitive musicians such as Bob Brookmeyer and Ruby Braff. Although he was immobilised for the last 20 years or so of his life by continuous pain in his spine, he continued to write and teach music.

From Romania with Love
Wed Feb 27, 10.35-11.35pm, ITV
Perhaps it's a slightly voyeuristic premise, TV-funded trips back through decades of heartache, but this film does provide level-headed contemplation. That's mainly thanks to the children themselves. While there are some on-screen revelations, there are also filming restrictions on certain authorities and relatives in Romania, which means that most of what we find out is filtered through Will, Nicci and Cezarina's observations and conclusions. And it's their remarkable understanding and empathy for their birth parents that set the tone.
Still, it's not easy to watch. The distress of the Romanian families is disturbing, as are, of course, the original images of the neglected orphans. But it's the fact it's those very babies relating the story, along with their thoughts and feelings about what happened, that makes telling it so worthwhile.

I found this programme fascinating. I am 1 of the 300 children who has been adopted from Romania and I was adopted in 1991. I am now 22 and have been interested in looking into my roots. This programme made me realise that there are others out there in the same position and it would be amazing to be able to contact them. I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has anyway of contacting one of the three children shown on the programme then I would really appreciate an email. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you Rebecca

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm really glad to do business with you guys again. I've purchased from you outside of work as well and I'm amazed at the efficiency your company has. You can ship anywhere and on time. I ordered a gift basket for my father in California about three days before US thanksgiving and the basket made it on time! And I know that when I need to ship baskets internationally under tight deadlines, you guys can get it done. Truly. We've used other companies before where gifts containing fruits, wine, cheese, or even chocolates where held up at customs or the packages 'never' arrived. It's great to know that with your company, the baskets will arrive and I can just move on to other tasks."
Adam - Quebec, Canada - Dec 5, 2012
"My son, Lewis and his beautiful bride, Zulema, received the basket just before their wedding ceremony. They were thrilled with it Smile. As they had chosen an intimate occasion with just the two of them - on the other side of the planet - this gesture meant so much to me and my husband. I would certainly recommend your services - especially to the discerning customer, as your reassurance and ease of ordering, coupled with the great follow-up service, gives peace of mind Smile. Thank you, again."

Summer Camp Previews
Wellspring Florida - Florida
Wellspring Camps is the nation's leading provider of fitness and weight loss camps for children, teens, and young adults. Our scientific program provides a sustainable solution for struggles with weight management. We transform our campers by empowering them with the tools they need to improve their eating habits, become more physically active, and build their self esteem---which all lead to long-term health and success.
Longacre Camp - Pennsylvania
DISCOUNTS: Early bird discounts before Apr. 15th! —— PROGRAMS: We offer two programs: a leadership camp for teens (ages 12-18), and a minicamp for children and tweens (ages 8-12). —— LONGACRE WAS A TRUE HAVEN FOR ME ... "Longacre was a true haven for me. Growing up in Los Angeles as a teenager, I got so wrapped up in the day-to-day drama and relentless schedule of high school life that I rarely had time to focus on personal growth and development … or just having fun! Longacre afforded me the opportunity to learn how to develop deep and meaningful connections with my peers and how to slow down and find fun in the simple activities of day-to-day life." —— MISSION: To offer both campers and employees a growth experience, with a focus on communication. —— VALUES: Our five core values are self-awareness, loyalty, independence, inclusiveness and hardworking. —— CAMPERS CHOOSE ACTIVITIES EVERY DAY: Discover life outside. We like to build, explore, work, play, rest, care and create. Your child will choose their activities every day, and get to do more of what they love. —— DEVELOPING NEW SKILLS AND INDEPENDENCE: We make our campers a deal: "If you take some responsibility, we'll give you some independence." Campers who like that deal do well at Longacre. They are making decisions, making mistakes (it's ok), and developing new skills as they go. They are being inclusive of others, receiving feedback from their friends, and reflecting on their growth experience. —— LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY: Our leadership philosophy has four pillars: decision-making, responsibility, passion and direct communication. Each pillar has a specific programmatic application. For example, re: responsibility, we have no cooks or maintenance staff, and everyone pitches in to make sure the trains run on time. —— ACCREDITATION: The safety of your child is our #1 priority. Longacre Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, meaning we meet 300 standards of health and safety. —— PASSIONATE, FUN-LOVING STAFF: We look for staff who are passionate about what they do. Passion is the key. If staff are passionate about creating (or exploring, or playing, or building) then campers will feed off of it. We've seen it time and time again: with a garden-novice, kids are bored and hot; but with a garden-lover, kids are asking questions, digging in the dirt, goofing around, spraying each other with hoses, filling their baskets, and eating vegetables raw. That's experiential education. —— INTERNATIONAL DIVERSITY: 15% of our campers come from other countries. Our goal is to reach 25% by 2018. Last year we welcomed kids from Turkey, Ukraine, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Nigeria, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Diversity makes for a vibrant community. Plus, exposure to different cultures early on has a lasting impact.
Taft Summer School - Connecticut

If the Care Bill is to successfully reform elderly care, then the issue of underfunding by local authorities when purchasing care places must be addressed.
The Care Bill is being debated in the Commons on 10 March and is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve care – introducing greater equality, affordability and transparency. These principles are supported by professionals from across the care sector.
However, as is well known but seldom discussed, councils frequently pay rates to providers which do not meet the true cost of providing care. This creates a shortfall within the system which limits investment in staff and facilities.
The Care Bill risks exacerbating this problem. Councils will be arranging care for more people, meaning even more care places will be under-funded. Without a system which requires local authorities to pay fair rates for care, care homes will struggle to provide secure, sustainable and quality care. The central tenets of this Bill – transparency, fairness, and quality – are in jeopardy if the local authority funding question goes unanswered.
We hope that MPs will have the fortitude to tackle this issue in the House.
Professor Martin Green, CEO, Care England, London E1
The worrying concerns around service gaps that face Britain's older people are rightly highlighted by Age UK in its Care in Crisis report. The funding shortfalls underlined in the report are disturbing, given that the need for services will continue to grow alongside our ageing population.
Age UK's report follows a recent study from Anchor and the International Longevity Centre-UK which revealed that we are not only confronted by a funding shortfall, there is also a workforce deficit that we need to tackle.
One million more care workers will be required by 2025 – a gap which needs to be bridged and funded correctly. Government, care providers and the NHS need to work together to ensure the crisis in social care is averted.
Jane Ashcroft, Chief Executive, Anchor
David Sinclair, International Longevity Centre-UK, London WC2
One of the most unpleasant features of the old workhouse system was the separation of married couples into male and female sections.
Recent government legislation for newly built care homes appears to repeating this cruelty by insisting that only single rooms can be installed.
Obviously, towards the end of life, it is better for couples to be together for mutual comfort. My wife (17 years of MS) and I, aged 74, are looking to move from our house into a home, preferably modern rather than some rambling converted vicarage. For medical reasons we have to sleep in separate rooms.
The best we have been offered is two single rooms, sometimes adjacent but with no connecting door. Any call (by intercom?) from my wife at night means leaving my room, going along a corridor and entering her room.
Who dreams up these rules, and why?
Dr Eric V Evans, Dorchester, Dorset
Police response over Lawrence
We read (8 March) that, following evidence that the family of Stephen Lawrence was spied on, "Commander Richard Walton, head of the Metropolitan counter-terrorism command, has been temporarily transferred to a 'non-operational role' "'
Why hasn't he been suspended from work? A teacher facing any suspicion of professional misconduct would immediately be suspended. As would a doctor.
The police fail to recognise just how seriously damaging all this is to the public's trust in them.
John Boaler
Calne, Wiltshire
What we need is successful prosecutions of rogue police officers, not inquiries, reports, Royal Commissions and the like (Letter, 8 March).
We have endless shock, hand-wringing and promises to get rid of the bad apples by Home Secretaries and Chief Constables, but who ends up being found guilty in court?
There have been over 1400 deaths in police custody since 1990, but no successful prosecutions of police.
Why should any police officer be deterred from corruption when there is apparently no chance of being found guilty?
Rod Auton, Sheffield
After failed badger cull, a way forward
An independent review of the badger cull has declared that it failed in terms of effectiveness, and humaneness. For those of us following every detail of the culls, this is sadly no surprise. The basic story is that they didn't kill enough badgers to meet the scientific requirement that would give the cull even a small chance of reducing bovine TB in cattle. And those they did kill, they did badly – with up to 18 per cent of the badgers taking over five minutes to die.
But it's not the time to dwell on what has been a disastrous policy. We need to look to the future – a future in which farmers need an answer to bTB, which is devastating cattle herds. And a future in which badgers are not scapegoated or slaughtered. There is such a future – in Wales, they chose to vaccinate badgers and bring in tighter farming practices, and in the past year have seen a massive 33 per cent fall in the number of cattle slaughtered.
Their way is the right way. I have just been appointed CEO of the Badger Trust, in addition to my role at Care for the Wild, and a new President of the National Farmers Union has also been elected. For the sake of all the farmers who desperately need a solution, I will be reaching out to the new NFU President to say "Let's work together', as together, farmers and wildlife supporters can beat this disease, without having to beat each other.
Dominic Dyer, Care for the Wild International, Horsham West Sussex
What Russia fears in Ukraine
The events in Ukraine have their origin in the final days of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. Then the Americans gave a promise to the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, that Nato would not expand east to Russia's borders.
This promise was not honoured and Nato drew in 12 former Soviet and Warsaw pact countries. Further, America carried on the Star Wars programme, which the Russians always felt was directed at them. In effect the West carried on the Cold War against Russia, and America financed and backed the 2004 Orange revolution in order to secure an anti-Russia, pro-Nato government in Ukraine.
The Crimea belonged to Russia until 1954 and 60 per cent of its population is Russian. Russia doesn't want Nato nuclear weapons on its borders any more than Kennedy wanted nukes in Cuba, and this in part explains Putin's motives.
What Russia has done may be illegal in international law but as yet not a single Ukrainian soldier or civilian has died.

More light in the evening
Paul Dormer (letter, 6 March) is right that nothing involving clocks can make any difference to the length of daylight anywhere, but he should remember that starting his first school lesson in the dark allowed him to kick a ball around in daylight after school ended.
The length of daylight of a place is determined by the time of year and its latitude; its longitude determines the start and end times of daylight, which get later by westward progression. Much of France and almost the whole of mainland Spain lie to the west of the Greenwich meridian. They are on Central European Time (CET), an hour ahead of us. In winter, Britain's Western European Time (WET) deprives those whose schedule is dictated by the clock of an hour's daylight in which to play or walk a dog after school or work. Only Ireland and Portugal are sufficiently far west for Western European Time to be appropriate.
To go on to CET in line with the rest of Europe would gain Britain more daylight for outdoor activity after school or work.

A slur on bankers
D J Walker (letter, 7 March) points out that the suggestion of "whinge" as a collective noun for bankers gives rise to a "most vulgar but appropriate" spoonerism. Vulgar certainly, but is it really appropriate? After all, bankers generally abuse everybody but themselves.

Playground in the Great War trenches
It's good to know that someone has found the trenches from a First World War training camp in Gosport, my home town. If anybody had asked me 60 years ago, I could have given them a guided tour, because it was where I used to play soldiers with my friends. It was pretty good for showing off your skills as a stunt rider on your bike as well.
