Pfeiffer successfully defends world championship in Zurich

BMW Motorrad's Chris Pfeiffer has successfully defended the Streetbike Freestyle World Championship in Zurich, which took place this weekend at the SWISS-MOTO Motorcycle, Scooter and Tuning Exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland.

...
The 37-year-old German once again dominated proceedings aboard his BMW F 800, winning each of the four rounds across the weekend, to retain the crown he won at the inaugural event in 2007. Second place went to Portuguese rider Humberto Ribeiro, while rounding up the podium was Sebastien Desbonnet from France.

And for those folks in the East Pfeifferr will be performing free at Americade, June 7th and Ben & Jerry's is handing out free ice cream.
 
Thanks for the Huckleberry, Quick Draw/EL Kabong and Snagglepuss. It's Hanna Barbera saturday.. Never would have watched some of these without you choosing my sat morning fix.
 
I like the cartoons. When I moved out on my own for the first time, I picked my apartment complex by whether or not the cable company had the Cartoon Network.
