Man, I've got to get out there for a race. You guys are having way too much fun without me.

Looks like LBS knows how to have fun while getting the shots.

Maybe next year.

I already have a place to stay for the Indy MotoGP race. It should be great. But California has it's own beauty (ocean, mountians, forest, desert) that can't be matched.

cool shots. Is that an RC 45 in all the pictures? Was it on loan from the Barber museum?

Cool to see Mr. Hayden!!

Thanks Ken...

No that's Mr.RC45... the peoples RC... you see I remember my days drooling over other peoples exotics...

so I promised that if I ever owned one myself I'd offered any interested party a sit in the saddle ...

Barber museum RC45 is #23 donated by Brian Drebber

Nice Larry, they let you ride the RC45 around the paddock...cool. I wish I coulda been there...but I could not. So I had to do the next best thing, I went to a little race in Jackson Mississippi for the debut of the "Old Fart Racing Team!

Did you park Mr.RC45 on cannery row next to another 45? A friend saw two together there. He also concluded the RC51 was just about the most represented bike around. Group ride/event? dunno.

Hiya Leland... I anted up $250 for an Paddock Parking Pass... but only after the MotoGp race did the

guards relax their grip on your whereabouts... you know back in the days of the WSBK we use to be

able to take the track after the race because security went home... that is when Mary snapped this

pic and I made a Xmas card out of it...

Nope... Unfortunately I never found any other RC45... however I did run across a NC35 riding by a young Japanese couple...

took your advice Larry and rode the "little leprecuan road" as you called it - it was the highlight of our whole trip - we got lucky and caught it while the sunlight was at its best!

There was a RC45 out on Fremont street, across from our hotel on Saturday evening, at the end of a very long line of bikes. They were all gone Sunday morning and I didn't see it again. It looked to be bone stock.
