Indy GP Aug. 17-19

If you like bikes that go fast, better make plans for the Moto GP at Indianapolis, the Used Tire Capital of the World. Our close and personal friend Valentio Rossi will be there, and he has promised to take time to sit down with the Ironworks crew to discuss the woes of the Ducati GP12 bike as we slurp down beer in a seedy hotel on the side of town where bikes are stolen with great regularity. (Getting home is only a phone call away from your favorite insurance agent and the nearest rental car agency. Simple, no?) Never in your life will you see anything on two-wheels go faster than a rip snorting 1000cc Moto GP bike.

Who is up for watching some trials riding?

You know, them funny little motorcross bikes with no seat or gas tank? You know, them funny little bikes that roll over rocks and such? Well, Bubba, better hold onto yer shorts and yor Schlitz Tall Boy because we have some trials riding action right here in our own backyard. Go here for the details:

Ok, not motorcycle related content, but the topic came up

while watching UFO movies at Tim's. I see to be the only one who knew anything about this.
