This was the original subject of the site: my previous ride, a 1988 Honda CM200T TwinStar. I called it a del Sol in the Model Info 'coz, naturally, they don't have TwinStar as a choice. I got tired of the lie and made my car the official subject of the site.

Left: Me on what was then my beloved TwinStar. This picture was taken in May 2000 at Breezes in Runaway Bay, the destination of my first "long" ride. Not quite 100 miles each way. Right: Fast forward to October 2002 - this picture was taken for a "For Sale" poster just after repairing the bike after my last crash. I sold the bike in November 2002.

SamBlob's 1996 Daihatsu ApplauseRight: This is the view of my bike at the base of the Negril Lighthouse as seen from the railing at the top of the lighthouse. Below: This is the best picture of my bike taken on my ride around my homeland - Jamaica - in October 2001. Kingston to Kingston in five days and four nights, via Negril (western extreme) and Morant Point (eastern extreme). This "Twin Star Shop" is on the way from the town of Negril to the Negril Point Lighthouse. SamBlob's 1996 Daihatsu Applause

SamBlob's 1996 Daihatsu Applause Left: Morant Point Lighthouse, the eastern extreme of Jamaica. Morant Point Lighthouse is much taller than Negril Lighthouse because it's on the seashore while Negril Lighthouse is on a hill. What's that speck at the bottom of the lighthouse? An enlargement is shown below. Yep, it's my bike, which braved cane-cart tracks and dirt paths to get there. SamBlob's 1996 Daihatsu Applause
Below left: One of my earlier trips was to Castleton Gardens, about an hour's ride north of Kingston. The road there is hilly and winding, but the beauty and serenity of the place makes the ride worthwhile. Below right: Brought some parts back from the repair shop and decided to take a picture of my "pickup truck".

You wondered where that second photo was taken of my car, they were both actually shot in or around the Houston area. That's where I picked the car up and decided to take a few shots before heading home. That was way back in 2000. I don't get on here often, but thought I would answer you anyway - you probably asked that question years ago. You probably don't care anymore. Oh well, now you know.

DO EVERY0NE A FAVOR AND FORGET THAT YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THIS WEBSITE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAVE INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS PILE OF SCRAP METAL AND POST IT UP, BUT I WILL FORGIVE YOU IF YOU TAKE THIS PICTURE OFF. THANKS FOR MAKING MY SISTER'S SCOOTER LOOK FAST. OH, THE AGONY! YOU SHOULD SELL THIS THING AND GET YOURSELF A NEW PAIR OF SOCKS.

Why do you tug on everyone else's balls about small v8's and v6's when your car is a 4 banger?
