    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    ^^ It's a cost issue. It sucks because the Moto2 race at Indy was more exciting then the GP.

    So instead of Moto2 and 125, they double head it w/ AMA

    ooooh I see. That's pretty lame, those moto2 races have been a riot all year. I really want to go to Laguna next year so it's kind of dissapointing. O well.

    Now time to start contacting people to see if I can get on the cornerwork list

    The wife and I had a blast at Laguna Seca this year. The MOTOGP race was weak though. Looked more like a practice session than anything. The other races were cool. Especially the finish to the electric bike race.

    My wife and I love Laguna. We'll go again next year if our schedules permit.

    Wouldn't it be cool if we could hibernate like a bear during winter and not have to sleep the rest of the year? It would be great.

    Can't Wait - it is going to be a great season!!! It seems like this season was a warm-up for next season. It's almost a given that Lorenzo is going to win this season. But, next season with Rossi on the Duc (and healthy), Stoner on the Honda and Spies familiar with the tracks and a factory bike - it should be awesome.
