Off To Indy..

[HillbillyTom]

Heading out to the MotoGP race here in a few minutes. Looks like clear weather and smooth riding at least until I get into Indiana, then maybe some rain.
Stuff packed and loaded on the Busa (every nook and crany has something in it), last tire pressure check, full tank of gas and I'm outa here.
Be back Monday, hopefully with a bunch of pictures and stories to tell.

First practice session is in the books. West leads em all in the wet. Stoner crashed out of the session. Oh and Pedro was last after being roundly booed at the rider intros!

Didn't need it until the big storm blew in on Sunday (wasn't at the track on Friday though). Actually I got a sunburn on Saturday.

Man was there last year the weather was crazy. Could not have emagined trying to ride through that wild weather. Getting everything ready for another round. Try it again this year. If it Rains again I'm tapping out and just hit Laguna. I hope we have a dry race this year.
