Moto GP...Indianapolis

Anyone who has never seen Moto GP live, I recommend it highly. I've seen several other racing series in person, and Moto GP is my clear favourite.

I already ordered my tickets for Indy in 2010.

Re: Moto GP...Indianapolis

Wow you live in Canada and made it to the race. I live in IL and have wanted to go for the last two years but no dice yet. I did get to print some of the posters and displays though for this years race. I got to keep some of the posters and even one of the original proofs for my garage. Maybe next year. I would like to see Rossi race at least once before he retires.

I have seen Moto gp at Indy and it was great, but I must say Formula One in Montreal was really something good to see.

Yeah I've been to formula 1 in Montreal a few times. It is very entertaining, and a very nice setting/city for a race.

The bikes are so loud they shake your insides. The Ducatis really hurt the ears if you don't have hearing protection on. The Hondas are pretty loud as well, just shy of the Ducatis I think.

I'm not sure which is louder, F1 or Moto GP, but I think they're pretty close. They both give you a headache if you don't protect the ears.

MotoGP is cool. I plan to see the Lagua Seca race next year, if possible Indy as well.

The F1 cars are definately louder if you ask me, the moto gp bikes didn't bother my ears at all, I actually had to wear ear plugs for the F1 cars, it felt like a fleet of ants crawled into my ear after it went by.
