Remember the Indy Moto-Gp is here next weekend. There is plenty to do here from Thursday night to Sunday night. I guarantee you will have a great weekend.

If you need a tour guide, let me know. I will be showing others around the city, so it wouldn't be a problem for you to join us. Plus, again having a Gp party night before the race. Just PM me.

Damn, that does sound fun! I'd love to go if I weren't in the middle of moving - hopefully I'll get to see the race at least at a sports bar or something...

GO NICKY!!! (sounds like it will probably be his last time in GP at a US event)

Well, it was one hell of a show! Go Honda! The motorcycles on Meridian was totally awesome too. If , I didn't have my son, I would have brought my bike down.

it was one hell of a race! i know my eyes were glued on the front 3 riders, until marquez took the lead and started to pull away, then i started to watch rossi creep his way up, and the pass he made at turn 15/16 was amazing!

I was trashed all weekend long and still paying for it today. Great race and watching the Moto-2 guys rip up the track was amazing. Those guys take way more risks than the Pro's and a lot crazier. I had no idea that in Moto-2 they have all the same stock Honda motors and same Dunlop tires.
More or less, I had a GREAT weekend.

Hell yeah man, Moto2 is definitely the best racing IMHO. GP is awesome because of what the bikes are, but as far as "the show", I think Moto2 is where it's at. It's come a long way. The first year, almost every race had a huge pile-up going into turn 1


Spec classes usually make for the best racing - but the spec tire rule in GP has really screwed things up. It's really dulled the racing to just Honda and Yamaha.
