Enjoy the practice runs!

Colin raced the Cube is his first year in Moto GP. 

He won Honda two World Superbike Titles but had to ride the Aprilia.   :shocked:



Mike, I'd like to go this year and see if Maverick had anything for his fellow Spaniard but I have Tom Petty tickets for his kickoff tour and need to be at the district convention on Saturday.

BTW- the guy that's getting my Greenie up and running will have a Sportster red frame cafe bike at the race this year.  Give Don a hello for me when you're looking at the displays in the infield.   :thumb:

Don't hate me, but I'll be there.  Fri, Sat & Sun in the Bonnier Suite (Cycle World) working.  Mon & Tues, flag marshalling for post race Moto GP testing.  Makes up for all the regular jobs I do out there the rest of the year.  I plan on being at Ducati Austin Thurs. evening.

Rock on Chris...see you Sunday morning.  Tom, Jack, Jim will be there as well...hopefully we can connect, probably easiest to meet at Ducati Island.

Hop to the top of the tower if you get a chance...great views from up there!

If you see this Monster on Ducati Island it means I'm around someplace. Let me know when you plan to meet.  Always nice to see other Guzzi Guys.
