Going riding first, or just watching races today?

I just read the news from the 250GP in Italy where Simoncelli ran into Bautista.  The FIM fined Simoncelli $5000 and gave him a "yellow card warning" (get two in a single season and you're suspended) for running Bautista off the track with his bush league BS.

I feel like they should have switched the results and put the two riders back into the order where they ran before Simoncelli pulled that stunt.  He gained a position from it, why should he be allowed to keep it?  He pulled a crazy stunt, gained a position, forced Bautista to worry about what's behind him for the rest of the year, and got what?   A slap on the wrist is what.  I call shenanigans, I'm goin' ta git mah broom.

I hope Bautista smacks him down today at Catalunya!!

I don't know what the list's rules are with regard to spoilers, so call me out if I foul this up for somebody....but dang!!

I hope everybody got to see the last 5 laps of the Catalunya MotoGP race.  As Charlie Brown's friend Lucy's sign said, "The Doctor is IN".  As usual, I have DVRed it if anybody needs proof of my statement.

Not sure if there is a "rule" per se, but if your gonna throw a spoiler... let people know on a post first, Start out saying SPOILER!!!.   then do another.

It was the best GP race I have ever seen, period. But it wouldn't have been half as great if I knew the outcome.


Now there's a rule.

[Goduc]

I think that is a fair enough rule.  That race was AMAZING!!!  Scott why didn't you come watch it with us?

[Cloner]

Scott why didn't you come watch it with us?

I didn't get the telephoned invitation until this morning (when I got a chance to recharge my phone at the office), so I didn't know there was an "official" gathering.  I'll catch you guys soon, though.

Hey all. I am new here but I was wondering if anyone had plans to go to Laguna for the races in a few weeks. I am trying to make plans to head out there.

Lucky you, I wish I could go but used up all my vacation for the year.
Hope to get to meet you at some of our get to-gethers or riding on the weekends.
BTW, welcome to the forum

Yeah.  What Zaster said.

Come out for a ride Sunday morning at the Cafe at Dawn.  Look in the "Who's Riding this Weekend" thread for times, though you can find somebody there most times on Sunday morning as long as the weather's nice.

Take I-40 east to exit 175 (Tijeras) and the Cafe at Dawn is on 14 (Turquoise Trail) north of I-40 in Cedar Crest on the west side of the road.  You can't miss it.  There is a gas station (a Chevron, I think) in Cedar Crest, also on the west side of the road before you get to the cafe, if you need to fill up before we meet.

Yeh, I know where that is. I rode up there yesterday. The weather and roads were nice. I try to ride up there at least once a week even though it is waaaay out of the way for me. I work on base and live up close to Rio Rancho. It's all good though.

I can throw stones across the arroyo into Rio Rancho, so I know what you mean.  My house is as far north and west as you can get and still be in Albuquerque (out near the end of McMahon past Unser).  Holler if you wanna head that way together and we'll turn a wheel.

If you think you're out of the way, try from the end of 528 at 550.  No whinning about distance.  That's why you have a fast bike.
