he actually crashed! the front tire was off the ground, bike sliding on its' side...yet another reason it's fun to watch the MotoGP series races, those guys are just ridiculously amazing riders!

 

Thats my boy.

 

For all the MotoGP fans, dont forget the next race is in Estoril on the 13th.

 

I like MotoGP too. The Speed channel runs it every so often. That and drag racing are two things my son is really getting into.

 

If you will register on motogp.com and pay for the package you can watch the races live from the website. I used to get up at 2am just to watch a race.

 

we have it set up to record on the DVR and got a surprise this last race...apparently the Speed channel changed the title from 'motorcycle racing' to 'motoGP racing', so the auto-record timer we had set didn't pick it up, fortunately a friend noticed it and recorded it on his DVR so we still got to see it.
a bunch of us get together on sunday evenings and watch the GP and SBK races on a 150" projection screen, it's pretty awesome! and motoGP is supposedly going to get HD cameras pretty soon, so you'll actually be able to see the riders' numbers/sponsors!

 

I just canceled Dish Networks system and switched to Directv. I don't know their line up yet.

 

Yep, that used to be our Sunday afternoon ritual. I had a pretty nice setup in the garage with a big screen so we had what the wives would call our "Tim Allen Day". We would watch the MotoGP, World Superbike, and any other FIM races.

 

So are any of you guys going to make it to Laguna Seca or Indy this year? Me and two other guys have already got our VIP package for LS.

 

this year we have almost as many girls watching the races regularly with us, it's pretty sweet. several wives, g/f's and singles.

man, that should be fun with the VIP package! we're planning on watching it there at the house. a bunch of my us went the first year they were at LS, when Honda gave Nicky a good bike to ride and he OWNED the corkscrew and outran everyone else, by a LOT.

now we just make a big deal of the LS race and throw a pretty big party. sitting in the A/C and being able to see the whole track and replay stuff. it's definitely an awesome experience to be there and watch the race live, both options have their perks and drawbacks...
