Nope the motorcycles don't do anything for me. Need that engine roar, speed and left turns on those high banked and short tracks.

If you want to see speed watch this........

Now that was a great video! Thanks, WCG.

The boy loved it!

Who says our boys are not athletes? Jr was laughing when most others would have been out of breath, green in the face and speaking to the barf bag.

And he was laughing.........bleep......bleep.....too funny!

Well, to tear your eardrums apart you MUST see the MotoGP bikes. Completely uncorked 1000cc bikes that required spectators to wear hearing protection at Laguna Seca! Laguna normally has a 98db limit, but these bikes cranking out 280hp, weighing in at about 320 lbs, revving to 18,000 rpm really needs to be seen to be believed.

Too bad those bikes don't run at Daytona. They actually accelerate FASTER than F1 cars. 0-200 in 15 seconds for MotoGP vs 16 for the F1 cars. Oh and the body english that goes into riding these bikes. You can tell they aren't riding in a barco-lounger like a nascar seat. :)

I'm not jealous of much, but I am highly envious of any civilian who gets a ride like that.
