Member Contributer kostritzer Posted August 4, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 4, 2010 Saw Mr. RC45 at the race, but Larry was no where to be seen.

Veefer800Canuck Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 As always Larry, Top Stuff. You schmooze your way into every nook and cranny. I imagine you also got chased away by a crewchief or two, you out there with yout measuring tape and calipers, looking like a Skunkworks Spy, :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted August 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 5, 2010 As always ...thanks BLS. I do enjoy your review every year. :comp13: I was on my way after a few years away (last Nicky win) but a family emergency stopped my run up. Will try to make this event next year. For those who never have made it to a MotoGP...this is a must!!!! :fing02: Thanks again Mr. RC45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer teleskier Posted August 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hey Larry, We saw you and the bike around many places but never had a chance to say hello.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 10, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2010 As always nice pics Larry :biggrin: Elena Meyers... kid you're welcome to ride Mr.RC45 anytime... She has been offered to testride the Suzuki GSV-R in Valencia. Who knows in a few years there will be a woman competing in MotoGP :fing02: I hope she is fast on it too! Suzuki will probably have to go that direction as Honda continues to offer development contracts to every boy in the 20 percentile of height and weight who rides an 80cc 'cause they think they have found the formula with Pedrosa/Stoner and others of that size... :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 10, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2010 Larry and Balls 2 at Laguna Seca....epic pics and you continue to amaze at your ability to access places and people that are clearly off limits. I guess the factory mechanics know you by sight now and only worry that you might show up next year with additional MotoGP inspired mods to Mr. RC45 and not as the lead mech on the new Aprilia MotoGP grid... :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jaimev34 Posted August 10, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yep, Larry, I saw Mr. RC45 at Cannery Row and parked at the booths (Next to the overpriced half covers, specifically. $250 for a spandex half cover??!!!!) next to the track, but you were nowhere to be seen. I guess now I know where you were at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
