Title: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: jimboecv on June 29, 2009, 07:35:15 AM Since I can't go for my usual three day camping extravaganza, if you call Top Romin for breakfast an extravaganza, I'm not too excited about riding down for Sunday with my perceived drawbacks of a day trip (traffic and parking mostly).
I know they'd put it on the tube at The Danville Bowl if I ask nice but that not quite the crowd I'm looking for. Any ideas for viewing? Locations Showing the Race D-Store Ace Cafe Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: Michael Moore on June 29, 2009, 07:42:46 AM The Dainese store in SF usually shows GP races. Or maybe Lanesplitters in the E. bay.
Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: desmoquattro on June 29, 2009, 07:46:27 AM Not sure the D-Store will be open Sunday. Most of 'em will be at the race. I'm sure BG or DaineseDan will chime in.
That said, I'm SURE the Ace Cafe (14th/Mission SF) will show it. Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: mostrobelle on June 29, 2009, 07:51:32 AM I heard from someone that Ace showed the races earlier than a posted time once before. Don't know if that's true or not, but that would be a real pisser. Should folks call before if they plan on heading over to Ace?

Post by: desmoquattro on June 29, 2009, 07:52:33 AM I heard from someone that Ace showed the races earlier than a posted time once before. Don't know if that's true or not, but that would be a real pisser. Should folks call before if they plan on heading over to Ace? I've never heard of that happening. And this would probably be a live broadcast ;D I'll try to check with Rob when I get back from SLC. Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: jimboecv on June 29, 2009, 08:22:26 AM I figured the D-store would be closed. Lanesplitters I'll check into and Ace will be nice. I remember something about Ace showing a race from a different feed and some spoilers got out.
There's always Ricky's in San Leandro but that place is such a mixed bag. Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: sidm on June 29, 2009, 08:59:43 AM MAYBE Nichols' scooter shop in Fremont?
Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: jimboecv on June 29, 2009, 12:10:24 PM I looked on genuine scooters website for the Nichols address and they're not listed. I thought they sold genuines.
Ops, found it. Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: jimboecv on June 29, 2009, 12:54:39 PM Nothing at Nichols.

Don't know if that's true or not, but that would be a real pisser. Should folks call before if they plan on heading over to Ace? Last week they said showings at 3 and 6, and ended up starting earlier. [bang] I'll post up on their FB group to find out what the deal is this time... Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: Drunken Monkey on June 30, 2009, 05:18:10 PM Showing from 3 to 6 according to their web site. But given that the race is supposed to take place at 2, I wouldn't count on a 3 start time. Plus it appear to be showing late in the day on speed.
Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: jimboecv on June 30, 2009, 06:22:51 PM O'great, so I watch it at home w/mega-interuptions AND I have to get my own beer or... bah!
OK, alright, not time to panic yet. Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: Dainesedan on July 01, 2009, 01:56:22 PM Not sure the D-Store will be open Sunday. Most of 'em will be at the race. I'm sure BG or DaineseDan will chime in. That said, I'm SURE the Ace Cafe (14th/Mission SF) will show it. We'll be here! We'll be showing the race live at 2:00pm and will have free food and drinks on hand. Come on down! Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.?

TV Reminder: Although Speed TV wil air Saturday's qualifying for the U.S. GP on Saturday nigth at 7 p.m. (Pacific), it will be Fox handling the live coverag of Sunday's MotoGP race with the show slated to start at 2 p.m. (Pacific). Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: Michael Moore on July 05, 2009, 08:04:51 AM Let's just hope & pray the Fox announcers aren't as lame as Ralph Shaheen and the imbeciles at CBS. [roll]
Title: Re: Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.? Post by: jimboecv on July 05, 2009, 08:12:05 AM Yeah, that's part of the reason I want to watch it someplace loud. Shaheen's just lame.
101 is going to be a mess today with 4th of July travelers, Amerivespa, MotoGP and the Hollister push-rod crowd. It'll be like splitting lanes in a disaster movie with drunk zombies driving.

It'll be like splitting lanes in a disaster movie with drunk zombies driving. Truly - it's unclear which of those groups on the road will pose the greatest risk. Prolly the scooters. And Shaheen's insistence on calling the GP racers "drivers" about pushed me over the edge permanently last year. I kept praying someone in the booth would dope-slap him, but it sadly never happened.
