23 July – Overland Park, KS
Somewhere over America. You can click on the image to see an enlarged version. What’s up with the PacMan imagery?
We got in a couple of hours ago. We’re in Overland Park just outside of Kansas City.
First stop, a place to eat. When in Rome… We went to a KC Masterpiece restaurant. Not bad, not bad.
Lots of eating options around here. It’s been gentrified like most American cities that have reached a certain size.
24 July
John (segment producer/director) and DK (our sound mixer) admire and discuss the bike we’re featuring.
Some shots from the back and side of the chase van. I love the fact that most vans now have sliding doors on both sides.
For this shot, I sat in the back of the van. As a safety measure, I kludged a harness using some climbing “runners” and a few carabiners.
I have a long runner (approx. a five foot loop), that I twist into a figure eight and wear it like a vest with the twist on my back. Along the line on my back I add a butterfly knot (a.k.a. lineman’s loop) and attach a carabiner. That carabiner is clipped to a series of runners secured to one of the back seats. Don’t try this at home kids unless you know what you’re doing and know what kind of equipment to use.
Another shot from the side of the van.
Well?!
I saw this at the place we ate dinner at. This goes out to my good friend… you know who you are!
