7/15/08 UPDATE: Last night, NASCAR driver and TV commentator Kyle Petty's annual motorcycle charity ride made an overnight stop at the Westin Hotel in Lombard, Illinois, about 5 miles from TMC here in Downers Grove. I took a ride over to hear Kyle speak and was extremely impressed with him and the work he does. If you can't find anything you like at TMC this week, maybe you can throw a few bucks Kyle's way to fund the Victory Junction Gang children camps. I guarantee it will make you feel better while you wait for that bloody Can Am DVD!!!

You can make your donation (and also follow along with this year's ride) at Kyle Petty Charity Ride.
