    Laguna Seca MotoGP

    I tried this 2 years ago, let's try again.

    Post here if you'd like to have an Aprilia owners meet-up on Cannery Row. If there are a small number, we'll head into one of the pubs, if there are 20 of us, I'll get a reserved spot roped off. AND if possible, I'll ask Randy to sit with us. I'll try and find him in the pits on Friday.

    See you the 28th at Laguna?

    I'm getting a Jay Murray insert for the Akra, $150, sheesh. Stock pipe blows the 92 db at 94.5. I am NOT getting an insert for the stock pipe after the trouble I had getting the race map updated.

    Got myself on the waitlist and it is surprisingly short. Am scrambling for tires for the Tuono but the SV is ready at any rate. Will show up Monday morning for tech even if no cancellations are noted as no shows happen a lot.

    I suppose Sat night is more exciting with the bikes parked all along Cannery Row but forget getting into a pub. Let's do Friday night, meet in front of Sly McFly's joint. Punter, shoot me your cell #, lost it.

    Done. Friday is good too. We're usually too tired Saturday night from a day at the pub - er track. FWIW one of our favorite spots is the English Ales brew pub tent at the top of the hill. Awesome views and really good beer.

    OK, unless Sly's is completely packed, that's our watering hole for Friday night. Better make it 6pm.

    Flywheelz, Potere. Good seeing you guys at Laguna. I'm really getting the itch. Looking into DB killers for the Akras. I'm still way too lazy to change out the whole system.

    Nice to see 5 Aprilia's!

    I'm 90% sure I'll be back at Laguna with my car in November. I can give rides! 2 min. lap in an automatic.

    Aprilia sponsored a party a while back...now that they have bikes in MotoGP I wish they'd have another party but I haven't heard anything.

    I think we'd have better luck having a meetup at the track...Cannery Row is such a clusterfuck...it's a waste trying to meetup there IMO.

I always get the feeling that to ride a Tuono you have to be a real man, prepared to fight it every step of the way, where as on the Triumph you can have an off day and not be left feeling inadequate"

    Well we could consider Baja on Thursday. Also a ride Friday either up north to hwy 9 etc or down to Lucia for those who want to see Big Sur.

    I think lunchtime on race day would be cool. Sit down for a beer and a bite on some benches or table or something...maybe Ducati island?
