Default MotoGP, 4th of July weekend, Monterey...

It's that Special time of the year again!!!

GO DUCATI!!!

I will be heading from SoCal to NorCal on my yearly motorcycle mecca on Thursday, July 2nd. I will be going to San Jose that evening (details on a mini-meet soon to come).

By Friday morning, my cousin, his wife, and I will be riding to Laguna Seca in Monterey. If you want to check out the track and preliminary races, you're more than welcome to join (either by car or by motorcycle) on Friday. The main event, the big race, is on Sunday at around 3PM. If you want to make a weekend out of it, contact me, and I'll give you all the information you need.

THE PLAN & CONVOY: So, we're leaving Friday morning, July 3rd. I think it would be best to meet up by the Cheesecake Factory at Westfield Valley Fair near Santana Row in Santa Clara on Steven's Creek Blvd. If we leave by leave by 9AM, we can be in Laguna Seca by 10AM.

Here is some info regarding MotoGP at Laguna Seca: Red Bull US Grand Prix You can get tickets at this website if you want to go for a day, or for all three days.

LET'S DO IT!!!


This first post will be continuously updated as plans materialize and change. Post you comments and "sign up" if you wanna go...

Hey Phillip,
I saw a documentary on SPEED about Moto GP at Laguna Seca. Quite an impressive story.

I was tryin to post a You tube of it, but had some technical difficulties. I'll put up the link here if I am successful uploading it.

Is it still possible to get tix for this race?

Let's hook up when you are in town.

Just a quick heads up! Monterey is going to be packed, with the Grand Prix, the rodeo and people coming in to Monterey for July 4th. It's going to be a zoo!

Keep me posted on where you guys are going in Monterey and I'll try to come meet you folks!

Fo' sho'!

Tickets can still be bought (just got some for my cousin last night) at the link in the first post.

I will be in San Jose Thursday night. I don't know what's out there, but if you can help set up a mini-meet, that would be awesome!

Cool! The big race day is on Sunday, and I'm not sure if it's sold out. Make sure you get your tickets already if you are planning on going...

Yeah man I love the Row at night...plus the after party at the clubs on the other side of the tunnel coming in towards the row!

I had my bike parked on the Row in 07 and last year I had my Bike on the island...Both on saturdays. It's sad though that I can't put it out there again this year. Next year will be another story. The bike will undergo some major construction this winter coming!
