Indy MotoGP

For our vacation this year we rode to Indianapolis to watch the MotoGP motorcycle races. As you can see from some of the photos we experienced some weather. In four days at the track we had some beautiful weather, some very hot weather and the remnants of a hurricane. On race day it was quite blustery and the wind made track conditions dangerous enough that they called the main race short and canceled the 250 cc race completely. We had purchased a VIP upgrade that gave us access to an indoor pavillion where we could get out of the weather when we needed to and also all of the food/beverage we wanted. It was the best descion we could have made, when other folks we sitting in the pouring rain we where sitting in leather chairs sipping Bloody Marys watching the race on TV. We met some new friends from Austrailia on the fist day and although we never arranged it we met at the pavillion and had lunch together every day. Motorcycles can really bring people together.
