Well, I don't know for sure that it'll happen, but you know how the food always arrives at your table while you're in the bathroom. Seems like the same laws of timing are likely to apply.
Cool. Maybe we'll find each other there, Mike. Not sure where we're hanging out much of the time. My best friend knows the parts manager for Suzuki's MotoAmerica team, so i think he'll have some kind of swanky passes for us. It's good to know people who know people.
Where did you get the tickets form? The MotoGP website?
Agreed, Patrick. Indy was great. I'm in Cincinnati, so we were up there every year they ran it. My buddy keeps raving about Austin, so I'm looking forward to checking that out.I wish Indy was still on the schedule.
I sucked it up this year and paid for the MotoGP subscription. Its actually quite good and you get EVERYTHING, practice, qualifying, warm-up etc for all 3 classes. I even paid a little extra for the timing piece which is great during qualifying. You can configure the screen to show multiple views on 1 screen. For example, on Sundays race I had the main "TV" view on half the screen and the other half was split with the lap times on top and I had Cal Crutchlow's rear cam on the bottom while Rossi was chasing him. The views are totally user controlled. I use a chromecast and mirror my laptop to the TV. If you miss the race live you can go back to the "No Spoiler tab" and watch the race in its entirety.
Been to that show three times, there are some sweet bikes on display there. I will say that the people watching/crowd dynamic has gotten much more interesting with each passing year. The first year it was mostly bike enthusiasts walking around, last year it was like some kind of hipster art show. Still cool though. Highlight of the last show was the guy who rode up on a beat down 749 that had a big screwdriver as a key.
