2013 MotoGp Picture Show Laguna Seca part 1

[Busy Little Shop]

For Mary and I it was the perfect weekend at Laguna Seca and my round
trip on the bike was perfect too with no tickets and no trouble...

Brother Alex Marquez watches Marc from the Cork Screw... it was
amazing to see the Laguna Seca Rooky charge into the Cork Screw for
the very first time... he was bravely on throttle but slightly off
line because he flicked just a little too late and over ran the candy
cane... second time around he was on line and on throttle... he flick
it just right... third time around he looked as if he that tricky
corner just about 90% figure out... it was a real threat to watch his
Race Craft...

Joey from Motul... he gave me a tube of their new "Chain Paste" to
test... now here's a product that lubes your chain with white grease
just like it came new from the factory and after 350 miles so far its
proved to cling with no flings...

My friend from VFRD aka BonusVFR...

This is the bike Honda should have built Aprilia's 1000cc V4 Sport
Touring... emphasis is on Sport...

Ducati Girls ignoring the Honda guy...

As the sun sets on Cannery Row the enthusiast are more knowledgeable
and more appreciative and some of the ladies are felling no pain...

Woof...

Every year someone pops the question "Larry whats your walk away
price"??? this time it was Darold a Ducatista...

After I'm dead and buried Mary has orders to sell Mr.RC45 to a female
with sport in her blood... Joy from the big Island of Hawaii asked to
be on the list of prospective buyers...

Film crew from the MotorTend show On Two Wheels... I was interview for
an up coming episode...

Al watches as I blimp the throttle on his stunning NS400 3 cylinder 2
stroker... the crowd was buzzing with talk like "whens the last time
you heard the wail of a 2 stroke?"

Makota San is a retired HRC engineer...

Jon Seidel Honda Motorcycle Press Manager

Shella from Law Tigers...

Tank the Law Tigers Mascot on Cannery Row...

8 Month Old Infant shows first time confidence in the Saddle... we
could be looking at the next Noriyuki Haga...

Tech 3 crew checking out Trig Westby's RC30 and Mr.RC45...

Trig Westby's trick little CBR400R...

Trig is Dane Westby's dad... like the Pegrams they are a true Father
and Son team...

Gavin Emmett's race face...

Nick Harris's podium face...

One of the Japanese HRC engineers was fascinated over the Ceramic
Matrix Composite rotors... like most his initial guess was carbon
carbon but that won't work on the street whereas CMC's do...

Elvio (Elvis in Italian) tells me about his own Honda V4 an NC30 which
is a sweet little 400 unique to the Japanese home market and a
spitting image of the iconic 1988 RC30...

Elvio's receives a good natured razzing by his fellow team members...

Elvio signs a Simocella sticker for me... its clear the team still
carries a heavy heart over the lost...

Bautista's RC213V

I just want to go over and hug Marc Marquez's RC213V...

Your 2013 Laguna Seca winner #93 a 90º V4 RC213V... Mary and I enjoyed
the race from the Cork Screw where we witnessed Marc Marquez getting
away with murder as he pushed the Honda prototypes limits... watching
the pass Marc performed on Rossi was like 2008 all over again but this
time the riders are getting along just fine... all in all we shall
never forget either... See you all in 2014...
