Again, loved the 250 race! It was great!!
Only saw the last half lap... Freakin' Motopia had the TeeVee on a CAR RACE & wouldn't change it MotoGP. WTF?!?
That, & the help is not as friendly on the weekends. I may be off Motopia for awhile.

Did y'all see that McLaren SLR in the parking lot!
WOW!!
Of course it wasn't "pure" sex because... well, no square headlights.

seriously, good to finally meet you Barry.
Lol...Sorry about that. I have a pair just like those and I guess I just automatically grabbed them with my gloves as I put them in my helmet. Oops! Good first impression, huh?

Hey, I was leaving on 'la Aprilia Scarabeo 50cc's as that McClaren discharged its passengers. Holey Moley - what a car - just watching the doors open was gorgeous. I put on all the dignity I could and full throttled it outta there at at least 15mph.

I missed most of the races, but I finally got to meet some of you guys!
It was nice and fun meeting you all. Hopefully, I'll be able to do this more often.
Good to see you again, Barry! Glad you have the 1098 up & running. We expect to see you out more often
Now, let's talk about a track day...

However, Stoner still blew past dovisioso on a straight away like he was standing still.
The Honda is this years slow bike for the most part. I saw a list of top speed numbers lately and Honda isn't up near the top like the end of last season when they seemed to find more power. The Yamaha is pretty close, but Ducati still has a very slight speed edge. I think the Duc is consistantly about 5km faster than the Honda, but with the slipstream slingshot and with Stoner being a better man on the brakes, I think it looked like the Ducati was hauling ass a tad more than he really was. The Yammy seemed to keep up with him though.
Dovisioso really rode his butt off. Good race for the rook.

Now, let's talk about a track day...
I know, I know....
I plan to do one this year.
By the way. Chad at Wilzgarage has added a couple of parnters to his business. Don, is a motorcycle mechanic (7years) and Jim is a Ridesmart Track day instructor. They are now doing minor and possibly major work on most bikes for $60/ Hour. Tire changes off bike are $15 and on bike are $30. So, they will be helping me get my track day stuff ready.....I think.
Chad will match most tire prices too! Oh, and by the way, they also are official Ohlins dealers and are qualified to set your bike's suspension up at the track, etc.

Talking about track days, has anyone ever checked out this site? Check out the suspension set up information regarding Ducati and all the other bikes. It's really interesting. Enjoy!

They are moving to :
www.onthethrottle.tv
, but they no longer have Ducati on the list....I don't know why.

I have a DLP LCD projector and a screen for it in my living room.
Only 4 beers on tap though. And no cable.
