Who's going
What are you riding there
When
How
and sometimes Why

I'm going to work on my photography, and my lens cleaning abilities







If anyone has any tickets, I'll print them a 13x19" photo of their choice! Or i can just buy your tickets if you have any :/

I was suppose to go, but my gf and brother both had to work that weekend very last minute. So I'll be watching it on TV from home with some beers.

I've been there numerous years and for me its almost not worth it sometimes due to the gridlock leaving seaside. I've rode there before and It still sucked.

Have fun and stay hydrated. The heat there is killer, literally.

I rode in last year, my buddy and I on our KTM dual sports. We're not worth any cops time compared to others riding in. We rode in the back way. It's fun watching unskilled riders trying to ride down the gravel hills and trying to ride through the dirt parking haha.

Yeah sometimes it sucks, you can hardly get a good spot to shoot in the corkscrew area. And it should be pretty hot!

I'm planning on being there for all three days. I'll probably ride my SuperDuke down taking some of the more interesting routes to avoid the squidfest. Cannery Row should be pretty fun Friday and Saturday night.

I'll be there, camping over turn nine all weekend, also helping volunteer with the recycling services... The heat usually aint that bad, two years ago was the hottest day I've ever felt in Monterrey, and I have lived here 27 years. It will not be like that, i"ll put money on it.

REMEMBER!! Park in fort ord, take the buses in its the only way in unless your on a bike.

Anybody feeling a protest of Speed vision, really trying to get something together, their coverage sucks bad, and the bump the victory laps for re-runs of 'tow truck reality show' whatever the hell the name of it is. Something must be done!

I remember leaving gp on sunday via a car, that **** was nuts, on 156 riders were on the double yellow and the shoulder like crazy.

and "pretty hot" is an understatement, in '06 like 4 people were taking away by ambulances because of the heat. The announcer kept emphasizing to "drink water " but bottled water was like $4 each

I was there that year, yea it was $4 a bottle at first but then they started giving it out for free, it was crazy. On the way out the people up in that paddock thing were dumping water on us and throwing down tons of bottled water to the huge crowd that was leaving, which was fun. Dude it was so hot that day the 600 class didn't even run and track temp was like 140 almost, i hope its not that hot again!!! It was almost too hot to enjoy the race...

Dont call it Speed Vision, because thats what it was called when it was actually a good station!

I'm down for a protest, i hate SPEED. I wanna make up some clever shirts.
