Hi all,
For the first few races of this MotoGP season we have been getting a group together to watch the race at various places around the Houston area. I think after the blowout get together of last week we have a new home. The race is at 3:00 this week, hope to see a bunch of you there. Tell all your friends, and bring your Dad out for what's sure to be a Fathers Day to remember.

This weeks location will be hosted by Sam's Irish Pub on Richmond Ave.!!!

They have the big screen as well as a bunch of up front motorcycle parking reserved for us and are excited to help out with this. JP (the webmaster for Colin Edwards Website) will be there with his bag of goodies as always!!!
Last weeks race watching party was awesome! My wife and I arrived to find a huge crowd (my guess is 60 people) gathered to watch a great footpeg to footpeg bashing race. First thing I noticed was the Aprilia Mille Edwards Replica sitting on the floor in front of the big screen! What a beautiful bike! Even more beautiful in person than in pictures. It is a stunning bike to look at. Across the floor was a brand new gloss black CBR 600RR. Another stunning bike to look at. The foot pegs and stuff on that bike look like hand made pieces of metallic artwork. Thanks to Eximport Cycles (local Aprilia dealer) and Honda of Houston for putting the eye candy on the floor for us to drool over.
Out in the parking lot the treats were just as nice. I spied several neat pieces including a Ducati 996 Foggy replica, BMW Randy Mamola Boxer Cup bike, and a rolling sculpture MV Agusta F4. Lots of other great bikes to look at as well.
JP was his normal generous self and gave away lots of goodies for correct answers to his Colin Edwards trivia questions.
