I know we have some motorcycle enthusiasts here on the forum, do we have any MotoGP fans? Qatar 2019 is in the books and the racing was better than ever.

Before life got so serious we used to travel quite extensively for
The GP calendar
Been to Brno, Sachsenring, LeMans, Laguna seca, Catalunya.
Met some nice folks along the way. I’m pretty far removed from it all now due to grown up life.
I have been attending the GP's for over 30 years so I have quite alot of photos and stories, my Mom loves MotoGP too! Here are several photos of my favorite memories ...
I still get my knee down several times a year too...

Right there with you. At one point motorbikes were big enough in our lives that this is a real wedding pic.
Been following MotoGP since before Rossi (the GOAT?). Have been to all the races since they came back to the states.
Qatar was awesome!
I club raced for over ten years and won two regional championships along the way.
Ran track days twice a year at a track in Indiana with a friend of mine and coached at Mid-Ohio.
No track anymore but still ride regularly.

I’ve been known to get a knee down too...used to go through pucks pretty often (asphalt and gas leather pucks are my faves). And in those days, I used to watch Moto gp and wsbk. Unfortunately when I got serious with racing cars and when I moved out here I just haven’t had the motivation even to ride, let alone spectate. I should fix the former. As to the latter, the older I get the less patience I have for it.
This is the only sticker on my truck:
MM93 finishing so close to Ducati in Qatar is bad news for everyone else. Of course I would like to see the old man get a few more wins but now that even Suzuki has showed up it will be tough.

Holy moly did that consume my life for a few years. The resulting prosthesis means I am reminded about this period of my life everyday... and it was totally worth it! I got to "race" with some fast guys like Josh Hayes and Roger Lee to name a few. I use quotes since they blew my doors off everywhere.
No motorcycles for now, although I would love something small like an RS50 to zing around the hood. Or an old RVF400 from Japan.
Ride safe people!
