MOTO GP at Laguna Seca july 3-5 2009
#7
I am heading out Saturday morning, have an appt. Friday afternoon. I just bought my tickets on Craigslist Monday, 2 - 3 day passes for $100. Just missed out on a preferred MC Parking for $25 on CL. Hotel in Gilroy runs me $72, about 45 minute ride in.
If you search CL the week prior you can usually score some good deals as folks are getting desperate to turn them over as the clock ticks down. Ebay is a rip off as folks are trying to get rich off the event.

Few Pics from trip
700 miles round trip. Not too bad of a ride for two up. Stopped about every 1.5 hours for fuel and a stretch of the legs. Filled up once on the way up and then when we got there, same on the way back.
First stop in Arroyo Grande(Pismo) for fuel.
Red Bull Bridge
Turn 3
Hmmm, this seems a little more comfy for the road trips. Sticking tongue out at wife as she was driving me nuts with the camera.
But daddy Like
Turn 2
The good ol reliable steed. Could not have made this trip without her.
Funny thing is on the way home I was talking to a nice gentleman on an FJR and he was like "you rode that to the races?" I was like "yeah the wife wanted to ride", he paused for a second, picked his jaw up off the ground and then said "I got to met here and show her the type of bike you need". It was all in god fun and I do want a sport tourer,but the CBR did a great job of fitting the bill on this trip, anything longer than 500 miles one way, two up and I may have to reconsider.
Enjoy!

I didn't see this thread. I rode up from phoenix az on the 1k, wasn't to bad goin up I think round trip which would include alot of riding once actualy there was about 2400 miles. The trip back was near death though as we cruised non-stop after the races were over from 65 degree wheather to 112 degree wheather = brutal.
