Greetings from Indianapolis, Racing Capitol of the World. It's Saturday night and all's right with the world. I came down Friday with Surly and his Missus and we met up with Grumpy Unk at the track. The weather was pretty much crap but we got to see some really fast motorcycles run in the rain. To be on the world class level, you've got to be fast regardless of the weather. After leaving the track, we checked out Don Walker's shop in Speedway. Don makes some really nice bicycles and was kind enough to give us the 50 cent tour.
Headed to the track this morning with the weather man calling for 50% chance of rain. Didn't look real promising as we approached the track but it turned out to be a beautiful day. Nice breeze, lots of sun and almost just a little too warm, if I was inclined to complain but I'm not today. While scoping out the Ducati Island, they were setting up for an autograph session. We ended up being right at the head of the line, waited about 20 minutes and got some autographs from a few of the greats. We then saw the fastest men on two wheels qualify on a dry track, and saw lots of new motorcycles on display. Went out to eat at a real nice place in Speedway and right after I finish this, I'm going to call it a real good day.
I got some real good pictures of bikes, Don Walker's shop and a few movie clips with the little digital. I'll get some stuff posted next week. Hope the weather holds for tomorrow.
