    Hey everyone!

    My name is Brandon Cretu.......

    I was approached by an active member of this forum with a lot of interest in my endeavor to race at the Isle of Man TT this year. Dave Solo advised me that many members of this forum would love some inside info and knowledge of my adventure and what it takes to do it. There has been a thread started a to follow me on my journey and I encourage everyone to read Dave's article and ask me any questions that come to mind. Thanks in advance to everyone for their support and well wishes!

    Welcome Brandon! Great to see that you've joined. We are really looking forward to your update. It will be very cool to get some inside info and view to the IOM TT.

    Good luck but admitting you know Dave
    Most of the people who live around Lake Champlain claim to have seen Champ over the years. These many reports do not prove Champ is a living lake monster. They do confirm that most people are liars.

    Welcome.
    ...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG

    Chris does outstanding work. I have had the opportunity to have him on the team for over 2 years now and am never dissapointed by his work ethic and the high quality product he sends out.
    Here is the logo he made for me this year for the TT

    Great logo! But maybe someone ought to tell him the roadrunner was faster -

    The persistence of the Coyote fits well, though...
