No, it's a math thing. Culcune said March 14, 2015 was Pi Day.
The mathematical π is spelled in English as pi. Pi is equal to 3.1415, and the date March 14, 2015 is represented as 3/14/15. Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number, which means it cannot be represented by a fraction. Therefore, pi actually has an unlimited number of digits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi Hence, I said if one is going to celebrate Pi Day, he should do so at 9:26:53 AM. 3/14/15 9:26:53 AM = 3.141592653... http://www.math.utah.edu/~pa/math/pi.html

Yes, many of us here are geeks.

Three hours ago the Hanjin Germany was sailing southeast at 16.3 knots from the following location.
LAT: 47° 49' N LONG: 149° 59' W The vessel was located at the same latitude as Victoria, B.C. I have been receiving the vessel location and ETA in Long Beach from the Fleetmon.com website. I have also been receiving ETA and birthing dates from the following website. https://www.hanjin.com/hanjin/CUP_HO...?sessLocale=en According to both websites, the ETA in Long Beach is 4:00 AM on March 10. I have been quoting the website listed above for the birthing date. However, I received a courtesy PM from Joe Berk indicating the birthing date I have been posting is overly optimistic, and the backlog of vessels at Long Beach is still very high. Therefore, I ask everyone to please excuse my mistake. Also, thank you for letting me know about my error, Joe.

Therefore, the Hanjin Germany will not have a birthing date of Pi Day after all.

Hey Joe, just curious if you have any updates for the 19" front wheel?

No updates yet, Wolftrax. Our focus has been on the next order of motorcycles. We could sell you a 19-inch wheel now, but you'd have to wait until your bike gets here so we could have our guys craft the new rim and lace it to your hub (that's what we did for the 19-inch wheel you saw in the photo I posted earlier). The price would be significant, because the work would be done here. We want to get the 19-inch wheels from Zongshen because it would be less expensive and it would be a complete wheel (hub and all). If you're all fired up for a 19-inch wheel, though, give us a call at 909 445 0900 and Steve can give you a price for a custom crafted wheel like the one we showed in the photo.

We'll post an announcement as soon as we have the details on the 19-inch wheel. |

I'm as eager as you are, Mark. I've got a bit of an advantage in that we have the three test bikes to play with, but I want to get on my personal RX3 and start getting photos of it with Baja in the background.
One of my friends from a previous Baja ride.... |
