'You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown' (1975)



Saw this in Borders this weekend. What an eye catching cover, especially for The X Generation and Baby Boomers too who grew up watching Charlie Brown on TV in the 60s and 70s. It's from a new magazine called Racer X.

The article is titled: 'Good Grief! How The Peanuts Gang Went Racing' By Craig Schulz, son of Peanuts creator, Charles M. Schulz. This article was so enjoyable it made me look up 'You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown' on YouTube.

I always loved this episode of Charlie Brown because it involved seeing them on motorcycles.

Seeing The Can-Am Spyder Live, Up Close, In Person

Can-Am Spyder Roadster: Innovative Design and Engineering


Over the weekend, while driving around downtown D.C., I saw this lady who was driving this vehicle. I wasn't sure what it was but it looked vaguely familiar to a futuristic looking bike I saw at the Motorcycle Show that swings through town every year.

At the next red light, we finally got close enough to see the lettering on the side which simply read "Can-Am Spyder". Yeap, that was the one!

Seeing it being driven in person is pretty incredible. It looks like a motorcycle of the future and so cool to drive. It also looks like it handles like a dream by the way she was handling it.

Had to look it up when I got home! Starting price: $15,499 - Yow! ;)
