[URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/MrRC45HondaLand.JPG[/URL] I think Mr.Yamaha had pee running down his leg after Mr.RC45's glorious growl filled their tent... I predict a Yamaha V4 for the new 800cc MotoGp limit... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/MrRC45YamahaTerritory.JPG[/URL] Bubba Gumps not only serves good food but they also allow bikes on their property... this NR750 stole the show... it's the first time Honda's ultimate V4 has ever been seen during Laguna Seca... I got to know the owner Jason... he may pick the Busy Little Shop to tune his ,000 prize instead of a Honda Dealer... I had to swear a oath of no modifications... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/NR750LarryBubbaGumps.JPG[/URL] Hilland was our Bubba Gumps waiter... he loves bikes... he very knowledgeable about MotoGp... it was a pleasure to know him... like how waiters do you know that would periodically check on your bike as you dine???

Julie's dad owns Lockhart Phillips... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/BoysandtheGirls.JPG[/URL] Saturday night someone pokes me in the shoulder and asked "Hey, are you a Nicky fan??? "Of course" I said... "Nicky is going to win it because he has the corkscrew 100% figured out whereas Rossi has only got the corkscrew 90% figured out"... That person was none other than Nicky's first cousin Kathy Hayden... She is a current flat tracker... mercy the racing blood runs deep in the Hayden family... she added that she might try her hand at road racing someday... she's got her eye on Nicky's old 600 Supersport that sits today in a barn back in Owensboro Kentucky... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/KathyHaydenMrRC45.JPG[/URL] Mike Czysz got permission to unload his C1 for display at Bubba Gumps... but since it had no Ca tag the cops would not give permission for first all American MotoGp bike to be ridden down Cannery Row... so Mike started it up and pushed the GP bike to the spot where a TV film crew was waiting to tape an interview... after which Mike Czysz took questions form the crowd... I raised my hand and said "I have a question, but I doubt you will answer"... and the question was "is the crank in the C1 phased 180 or 360??? however as expected Mike Czysz declined to answer... as his chief wrench gives me the stare...

[URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/AMS.HordeLaguna.JPG[/URL] I got to the M1 early and made a few changes to the graphics... I felt that if Nicky wins... it would effect Yamaha more than Rossi... nothing effects Rossi... nothing... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/GoNicky.JPG[/URL] Saturday morning Nicky works the crowd... he signed my hat and Repsol tee shirt... I picked him to win Sunday and I said "I've never been wrong yet"... (that was a bold face lie because I picked him to win Mugello back in 04)... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/NickyPreRaceDay.JPG[/URL] I worked hard to recruit the Yamaha girls over to Honda... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/YamahaGirls.JPG[/URL] Colin was armed with the Yamaha Tee Shirt gun... he fired one at me when I shouted "TEXAS"... I gave it to Alberto to take back to Italy... Mr.RC45 would have just have done a burn out on it anyway...

Nicky was mobbed back in the pits... mercy I barely made it in the same pic with him... [URL]http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/MotoGpChampion.JPG[/URL] MotoGp was a success... I think all the American fans realize it's a new era and a new game... not one 180 degree crank inline 4 was heard during the MotoGp race... We rode home Monday... whew I'm happy to report no tickets and no trouble... I already got my motel reservations made for the 20 to the 24 2005... you got's to make it...
