Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo’s new livery for the Laguna Seca MotoGP. It is a cool idea. There are 500 spots on each bike—for the new Fiat 500—each spot taken by pictures sent in by fans. I guess they filled up almost instantly.

Notes"Then, it happened. I entered the pedestrian tunnel that spans the track just past the start/finish line, and I was frozen in place by a horrific sound. For those of you familiar with the Lord of the Rings, I thought a freakin’ Balrog was coming at me from below. Apparently the MotoGP bikes were engaged in morning practice, and as they passed under the tunnel there was such an explosive din my internal organs all tried to switch places with each other. I looked at my companion and he, too, went pale. What fresh hell IS this?

"Laguna Seca MotoGP weekend is coming up. This is the first year that i haven’t gone since MotoGP came back to the states in 2005. I’m going to miss it.
I remember reading this back then and thinking, OMG that is it EXACTLY! The visceral experience of standing on the bridge and feeling the bikes thundering past was unbelievable.

Ducati Takes Historic Win at Flat Track National - Motorcycle
Ducati won its first ever Grand National Flat Track victory in Saturday’s Yavapai Downs Mile. Joe Kopp’s victory aboard a stock-framed dirt track bike built from a Sport 1000 by Ducati Superbike rider Larry Pegram and partner David Lloyd marks the first time that a readily available production engine has won a Grand National Twins race in 29 years. Limited production, flat track race-only Honda RS750 and Harley-Davidson XR750s have won every Twins National since 1981.Kopp’s win on the Ducati is a major upset, as XT750s have owned the flat track mile podium for the last 17 years.
COOL! I love to see peolpe stepping outside the norm.
