Re: OZ motoGP
Great race. I set my alarm this morning to get up and watch it. Rossi is unbelievable... letting Nicky pass him and lead for 2 laps just so he can mind**** him by blowing by again. Was that strategy, ego, or both? Awesome.

the sound was crazy...i had earplugs but it was still absolutely awesome... matched only by the F18 fly by at just under Mach1..
i was 3/4's the way down the straight so the bikes zapped past at 300+kmh

the young Aussie guy Chris Vermeulen did really well.. he'd had less than 4 hours of saddle time ever on a GP bike and in the race he was only 1.8 seconds a lap of Rossi and ended up 11th..was 10th for a few laps... yeah i know 1.8 is huge but for a first time on a GP bike my hat goes off to him.... it would be good to see him move from WSBK

That F18 was the highlight of the weekend for me. Absolutely amazing.

Re: OZ motoGP
The f-18 fly by and the blonde getting nailed on the grass along pit straight (another story all together) was worth the price of admission alone

For anyone who has never seen a moto GP bike in full anger in the flesh, words cannot describe how scary fast they are.

The ride home was as "hairy" as always, some serious tools out there.

Great weekend hanging for next year already

That parking lot is insane. How on earth do you even attempt to find your bike in that mess?

Well its just like finding a car in a multistory carpark. You take a landmark or two. Not so hard really. Great weekend. Only ran into one other orger (hi Zee )
