Hi Guys and Gals,
I've been ridin' bikes and following GP racing for a l-o-n-g time. In addition to Ago's '75 win, I was fortunate to see KR seal the deal at Nurburgring in '78. I missed Ago's final win only because I was a 'cold warrior' at the time and I couldn't get into the East. I hope my bride of y-e-a-r-s, Dianne, and I get to meet some of you fine Guys and Gals at Le Mans in 2009. Dianne has been an avid rider and race fan for decades, but she has never seen a race in Europe. She is just on 'Cloud Nine' about or trip. Good Luck to all! Johnne and Dianne |

Welcome...good to have another old school rider in here.
 lets go beat up on the kids 
-------------------- Jerry Burgess: "Valentino moved through the field in Barcelona and everyone that he passed got a riding lesson."
"I think that if Casey had raced in the '80s and '90s with Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey and Mick Doohan, he'd have seen that every weekend," the Australian told the official MotoGP website. "It was probably something that he wasn't particularly expecting; [he] probably expected to win the race easily like he'd dominated in the practices." "Pedrosa put up so little a fight it would have embarrassed a Frenchman" |
