I am pretty excited to see Vale slowly getting back to his pre-duck form.

You got another GP follower here, i never get to watch the races, but i follow any way I can.
Sorry to say I think it will be another all Marquez season, i am all for new blood but when its a race for 2nd all season its like getting back to the Doohan days.
I am glad to see Vale getting back to business on the M1, and really happy to see some that can make friends with the duck.
I was hoping the Drive's customer Honda would be more competitive, but by Nicks expressions sounds like he will have a long season.
Finally it was sad to hear Colin is retiring, not that its really a surprise.

How about whats left of the AMA series? what is it 5 tracks this year....yikes. Man I used to love watching Bostroms, Haydens, Matt, Ben go at it at RA.

The SP is moving along, in fall I took it apart and carried it down into the basement to work on all winter, good thing I did or I never would have gotten anywhere with our weather. Its all cleaned and fixed, valves and belts are done. When I get back from spring break Ill bring all of the pieces back up to the garage and start bolting it back together. I have a line on a 93 superlight that needs some love, so hopefully that will be the next project, might need to sell the R1 first.
Ill have to keep an eye out for SBK/GP viewing. I was happy to see Vale in 2nd this weekend.

Looks like this forum has been quiet for a while so Ill put a thread in.
Just wanted to say hi to all, hopefully meet up sometime if it ever stops snowing.
Located down in Lakeville and commuite to work 100 mile round trip daily, my daily ride is an 06 R1, but I am finishing up a 96 900SP.
Ray turned me on to this forum.
Thanks
