Great road, and if traveling to/from Texas, the Indian highway south over the mountain from Talimena is great too.

Re: get yer ridin' in soon, boys-n-girlz

Yea, I was starting college and had no money. As I recall there was an OPEC embargo at the time. I have a feeling they may sit this one out. Hezbo-whatever is not making any friends this time.

Barber is a jewel for racing, and if you ever get the chance to see the museum, it is more than worth it. 700+ bikes and what a great display.

Was a great race, one of the most exciting finishes in a good while. Don't know if I would describe them as reckless, they both really wanted the win. I think Colin was a little rattled when Nicky...
