Always loved the sound of screaming race engines, the smell of high octane fuel blowing from hot exhaust pipes, but the site of a guy loaded with testosterone yanking a 200 pound, 200 mph beast around underneath him while he drags body parts all over an asphalt track makes dreams float thru my head. Dreams of flying myself, until the creak in the bones and joints keeps me from tying my shoes as I get up and I realize fast motorcycles are a young mans game.
So the youngest of them all, Marc Marquez wins his first top tier race on a brand new track. Ripping apart the gorgeous Circuit Of The Americas in Austin, Texas at the tender age of 20 to be the youngest rider to accomplish the feat. Ousting the "fast" Freddie Spencer from the youngest spot by a couple of months. A toast to the kid for one heck of an accomplishment, or at least I'll drink to him since he can't have one himself just quite yet.
