Hi Maytag,
I watch the TT at the Isles once in a while. I used to have a 900RR I raced at Pocono until I hit the wall at 80 mph. I had to get rid of it before I killed myself. No Fear! I have a Harley now. It just sits till I get the Fiat on the road.

Of course! 2 wheel racing is the only racing I keep up with. World Superbike, AMA Pro, Moto GP, and AMA Supercross & Motocross, they all keep me nailed to the sofa on a Sunday afternoon.

so, you being a Texan and all....
you following what Spies has been up to the last couple of days?

Gotta love Spies he's a incredible rider.
I enjoyed watching him spank Mladin for 3 years in AMA.
I also enjoyed watching him take down Haga during his rookie Superbike season.
Now I guess I'll get to enjoy watching him wup up on Rossi in the MotoGP! Too bad Ben isnt riding for the FIAT team.

Definitely! Ben Spies is a great kid! Seems down to earth and level headed. Glad to see him represent the USA and keep the sport exciting.

I'm definitely an avid watcher / arm-chair racer. I do have an `05 Yamaha R1 with some of the go-faster bits (Full Ti Graves exhaust, velocity stacks, Power Commander, Ohlins damper, Renthal re-gearing, and braided brake lines that I haven't installed yet). I am planning on (wishing on) getting a set of Marchesini forged magnesium wheels but at just over $3,500 for a set - I am waiting on the sale of a house or two before I go after those bad-boys.

Every year, I'm out at Miller's track to catch the action as well as have made a trip to Laguna Seca to watch a MotoGp race. Been there, done that...I'll stick to Miller's track as well as visit others.

Going to be exciting to see what Mr. Spies does in MotoGP. He made a real good (supporting) showing on the last race of the season...helping Colin Edwards secure 5th place in the standings.

Too bad Ben isnt riding for the FIAT team.

Next year the Texan will be sporting FIAT Factory Yamaha leathers!

Have you been watching him this weekend?

And how about the news that Rossi and Hayden will be team-mates again?

Next year will be a great year to be an American fan of MotoGP.

Yea how about Rossi... The Doctor back on an Italian bike. I'm sure the Italian fans are excited about that.
Your right, there's going to be some great racing in MotoGP next year.
