Just starting watching FP1 where is was just annouced that Hayden has signed with Ducati for another year..........
A friend just FB'd me with a video from the hill at Laguna. *le sigh*

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.
I've never seen anyone have as much bad luck in one year as Spies. Jeeez

I don't know if they they showed it on TV, but it was pretty cool and amusing, after they race was over and the riders went back around the track, Nicky stopped and picked up Rossi from his crash. Rossi waved to us riding double behind Nicky.

Watched in TV at the Quaker Steak n Lube in Westminster. Great race and a good showing by the Honda Repsol team. Poor Ducati team
Prolly the fastest Rossi has gone all year...
It was a good race, for sure. SUCKS for Spies, but that's racing I suppose. Either way, it was still an awesome race on my all-time favorite track. I WILL be making next year's GP at Laguna, in person. Then, I'll be able to cross it off of my bucket list!!

I talked my wife into letting me have a day at MotoGP during the course of a California vacation. Wow, there were a lot of people with the same idea! Last time I was out to Laguna Seca in 2010, there was a lot less people. It was really crowded this year. One day really isn't enough for me, but my wife had all she needed. I got 3 minutes on Ducati Island, I saw about 1/2 of the AMA paddock area. I don't even want to know how much tickets would cost for areas that let you anywhere near the MotoGP paddock. I spent $270 on General Admission, Paddock Passes and Parking for 3. HERE IS A HUGE TIP FOR ANYONE GOING NEXT YEAR: COSTCO (SANTA CRUZ) HAD MOTOGP GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS 2 FOR $65!!! (I PAID $70 EACH) THERE IS ALSO A COSTCO IN MONTEREY THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THEM ALSO. I didn't take very many pics this year, but here's a little Cork Screw for ya.
Lap #1 of 32. Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Stoner

"So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide."
"Finish today what others won't, so you can achieve tomorrow what others can't."
Looks like Casey Stoner may have ridden his last race a few days ago. The pressure is now on the jockey !

Yeah that's bad news. His title chase is pretty much over. Bummer. Apparently his ankle is pretty jacked.

Go Crutchlow #35
Go Hayden #69
Go Stoner #27 "The Absolute Intercontinental Ballistic Missile of MotoGP!"
Go Sykes #66 2013 WSBK Champion. Go Green!
Cant believe Spies' luck lately, i mena, DAMN! I did hear there is a rumor going around the paddock of San Carlo Gresini Honda offering Spies a ride next season though, so he may not be leaving MGP afterall. I'd be fine with that, in all honesty.
So long as I get to see "elbows" rip it up, I'm good!
has to be frustrating for him though, geez-us!

With Stoner's return 8 days from now, one thing is certain; he will spoil someone's championship hopes..... I wonder which one of the two top riders is very excited about his return....
