Anyone going to MOTO GP - Laguna Seca?

Post by Ridercam »

wondering if any where going to Laguna Seca US Grand Prix?

Funny thing is that 207 million homes around the world will watch the this MotoGP but will be missed by most Americans.
To put that in perspective, this event is watched by more people than the super bowl and world series combined.

I will be going. You will find me on my airhead wearing my blue areostich and Arri helmet. Say hi if you see me. (I am working on getting a ticket upgrade to being in the Flagroom which includes breakfast and lunch and drinking all the provided bottled water I can process.)
I always brake in corners and think how I am going to get home if I really mess up. When I get home, I wished that I hadn't used my brakes and should have ridden a bit further.

I would either have to purchase cable/satellite t.v. service, or go hang out in a bar.

Neither is going to happen.

Moto GP is here in Indy for what I think is the last year?
Last weekend of August.

God I hate crowds.

You could always go to a local ducati dealer... There is a good chance they will be having a BBQ and show the race on the big screen of they are wise.

I have a day planned with my son taking a hour train ride to a train museum. That should be a fun day.

I got very disillusioned with professional sports in the late 90's, and I just haven't watched much since then.

I would rather do the train ride, too.

We have a cell site on the race track, so I can get in free to do "work" as needed. I never bother. Were it across the street, I might go for an hour. However, I drive too much already and more driving on the weekend for play just isn't interesting.

I could work my way over the Craig Vetter's home, on Friday, just 20 miles away and then do some work on the cell site on my way home on Sunday. Nah.

I have the same experience with you.But did you heard about"The Telegraph reports that a cyclist who was rammed off the road by a bus driver using his vehicle “like a weapon” has said his helmet saved his life?"
