MotoGP in Texas

   In the rolling hills east of Austin, Texas they were riding some very different horses. This weekend at the Circuit Of The Americas the rides are made of aluminum and carbon fibre, sport more horse power than any real cowboy would ever need and top end at over 200 mph. The Moto GP circus comes to town and showed the state what riders can do on two wheels. Fast, colorful and oh so european all at a cream of the crop facility in the heart of Texas.

Track Day

Justin Moore holds a tight line.

  Spent the morning watching a motorcycle track day session at the Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, Texas.  Everything from full out racers to a couple of guys on day touring BMW's taking laps of the 1.7 mile long upper course of the club facility. If it were not for the inevitable falling down part, I would love to join them and learn to ride just a little faster. Really makes you respect the skills of the guys like Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi on the Moto GP bikes. Oh how much there is to learn. It was fun watching  kite boarding buddy Justin Moore in a different environment with his Suzuki GSX-R on the track.
