Post by: kopfjäger on August 19, 2012, 03:33:31 PM If you get a chance go check em out, nothing quite like 20+ big twins roaring around the track. Better yet, go check out an AMA Flat Track race.

I did very limited motocross (1975-80) and again in late 80's. My bike prior to my Monster was a Harley Dyna WideGlide....so heavy & long...don't miss it!! After getting my Duc 3 years ago...started watching MotoGP, WSBK (my Fav) [beer] Kinda like watching TT Isle of Man highlights....Though I do a lot of wincing!!! Some serious (deadly) looking crashes ??? Title: Re: AMA XR1200 Series....? Post by: duccarlos on August 20, 2012, 10:22:31 AM Flat tracks are cool! If you ever get a chance to attend the Indy MotoGP weekend, they usually have the flat track races on the same weekend at the Indy mile. I went to Indy for 3 years in a row and the flat track races generally were much more entertaining than the MotoGP parade, except for the hurricane year (almost flew off the stands that year).
