I'm Going to be going to the gp on sunday alone and was wondering who is going and were people plan to hang out. think it would be fun to meet some of the .orgr's at the GP.

I was going to drive the bike up, but decided to trailer it due to a recent back issue.

I had tickets and eveything, but had to give them up when work decided they were more important than my silly little motorcycle hobby.

I am here!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in my hotel in Gilroy as I type. I am so excited. This is going to be a great weekend. This may not be exciting for anyone but while my freind and I were driving around, we got behind the MotoGP pace car or whatever you call it. It was a BMW M5 in white. It looked tough.

motorcycle racing here we come........

My body is still on Eastern time. I have been up since 2:00am PCT. I am ready to go to the track. A couple of hours to go before I am at the track listening to bikes go 150mph around Laguna. I have never been there before so this is going to be a real treat. I am so excited to be able to here a RC211 scream.

The suspense is killing me.....

Now you tell me. I just got back from Laguna. I cannot believe how loud those monsters were. My ears are still ringing.

Speed is up there somewhere. He will be by the corkscrew with a FBO shirt on.

And at some point maybe naked on the track.

Just go there and say, "hey SPEED, where are ya SPEED, come on BOY, come ON". It will work.

BDA116 · 07-21-2006, 10:29 PM

Or look for the guy shuffling about with a cane and generally going at a pace MUCH slower than everyone else around him.

Repeater · 07-21-2006, 11:01 PM

Thanks for the info on the earplugs. I'll be riding so i'll have a set. I'll look for the naked guy on the track. Hopefully i can keep my close on. how is the crumpet at the track?

What's a crumpet?

Mojave954 · 07-21-2006, 11:23 PM

Sounds like something SOB would be into.

Crumpet

Mojave954 · 07-21-2006, 11:27 PM

Ahhh, here we go.....

In the UK, "crumpet" has been used since 1936 as a slang term for a woman (or, more recently, a man) regarded as an object of sexual desire. This slang usage also has vulgar applications, as it is sometimes used to describe female genitalia. Historically "Crumpet" has also been used as a non-sexual term of endearment ([1]).

Well here is my experience with women at the track. They are usually there cause they are with their man. I have seen one woman in all my days go to the track by herself. She even unloaded and loaded her bike by herself out of a full-size pick up. And no, she wasn't a bulldyke.

But, this is SoCal so you shall see the finest this land has to offer.

Oh yeah, I put it out there now what?

Hey, the University of California Monterey Peninsula has some serious hotties. A lot better than the sausage fest Cannery Row used to be (in the Fort Ord days)....

colryn · 07-22-2006, 8:53 AM

OK. I now understand. Crumpet report for Friday was outstanding. It was difficult to look where I was going. I ran into a table looking at a girls ass. One girl was so fine that I began reading out loud what was printed on her hot shorts.... "If you can read this, does it make my ass look to fast?" She turned her head back and grinned at me.

I will say that I have seen many scantily chat females. I have seen many females that should have been scantily chad. And unfortunately, I have seen a couple who should not have been.

Zhart · 07-22-2006, 10:04 AM

I will be there on Sunday...was a last minute thing to go this year. Laguna requires allot of advanced planning with tickets and lodging. Went to a 311 and the Whalers and Pepper concert last night at Avila Beach....little hung over.

How are the vendors this year? Last year I thought they sucked ass.

Repeater · 07-22-2006, 9:30 PM

i read that is was blazing hot today. i just got into sunnyvale today and it's crazy hot.

so what area should i plop myself at? the corkscrew or turn two? i forgot to label the bike with the .org sticker so if you see a f4i with no side fairings that is me. no wreck just to lazy to put them back on. it is usually in race trim. hope to see some of you there.

Well....... I can't compare it to last year but I found a nice pair of Pazzo levers.

I can't wait to install them when I get home.

And yes it was blazing hot today. They said it was around 104 degrees today and on the track was about 125 degrees. So for anybody planning on attending, bring lots of water. I went through 6 water bottles and had to buy one more just to get by.

I saw the pazzo guys, looked like they had a nice stock of levers. I resisted the urge to buy a set. I did pick up a set of Galfer brake pads. I say the venders are getting worse over the past few years.

Yes it was very hot this year. The 3 hour wait to get out on the in house bus system sucked ass. I will never do that again.

The Moto GP race was good....I'm glad to see an American won again this year. Nicky rocks!

I was in the Honda Rider Tent all three days. Anyone see me?
I think I was the only one who rode full race leathers all days. I'm such a gear NAZI!!!

Sorry, I didn't see this post sooner. I would have arranged to meet you guys.

P.S. Pazzo was great to me. They swapped a lever and would have replaced the other one. It was great. I was part of the races - out there in the dirt changing out levers.
