Looks like a good show. Wish I was closer.

Holy Cow!

Congrats Paul! I'm certain that will help offset some of the regret about selling it!

A few more shots

The Austin GP was a really fun weekend as always, despite the wind.
Too bad for Beaubier but he's doing well and will get his chance to get on the box or even the top step.

The Yamahas were getting dusted on the back straight. (minus 10-15kph)

I only took a few photos. Nothing special since I only had my phone.

5 grand for that? yikes
That's a lot of miles for a Daytona (or any RD for that matter)

They're coming out of the woodwork!

Woo hoo! bring on MotoAmerica! Excited for the new season and to check out what Petrucci can do in the US.  Another new rider in the series is Ezra Beaubier (younger bro of Moto2's Cameron) on a BMW M1000RR in Superbike. And of course, Gagne will be back to defend his title.
Herrin is in SuperSport on a Duc Panigale V2
2022 season = 

This season is completely crazy. Every race is so hard to predict. The podiums prove it - 9 different riders in the first 3 events!

Picks are very difficult. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that since Aleix got his win that his confidence will surge. The Aprilia is a proven fast bike this year. And you can never count out MM93 at COTA (no matter how banged up he is). I'm sure he will be going for it as always.

1. A. Espargaro
2. M. Marquez
3. Quartararo
4. Miller Martin

Congrats Ed. And you got it in my favorite color.
I'm sure you can't wait to pick it up. Enjoy!

Really clean! Almost too nice to get it dirty. I've been drooling over this since it was posted. Sure would like to have this one in my collection.

Sure would love to have it in my garage, but like you I have way too many and no space. I'm down to 10 (and 3 cars).
It sucks that you have to sell it, but if its any consolation maybe you'll pull in some serious coin the way the market has been going lately. GLWTS!

I believe this is Yamahard's bike. It's really nice (and CA plated)!

[SAT 04/09]

Only a few days until the GP of the Americas at COTA!   Anyone going?

An unusual race schedule this weekend with Moto2 first and Moto3 running after MotoGP.
But it will be a few totally full days of racing because it's a MotoGP / MotoAmerica double header.

Supposed to be very windy on Sunday (not very good for motorcycle racing), but Saturday should be nice.
SAT 04/09
Sunny skies. High 86F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph. Precip: 0%
SUN 04/10
Partly to mostly cloudy and windy. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 81F. Winds S at 20 to 30 mph. Precip: 15%

And MM93 will be returning from his eye issues after missing the last round.

My Dad had one of these as his daily driver when I was about 14 back in Ireland. I remember it well. Ran on premix so we were well-known to the neighbors. He used to take me to school in it. Draughty as hell in the winter we had to wrap up in blankets to keep warm. Should have hung onto it!

Cool story!
