First pic is really cool! Last pic reminds me I should lay off the burgers and fries lol. Built just like my grandfather!

Fantastic pics. Good to meet you all!

Thanks for the great pictures everyone.

I finally got to watch the race last night. Can wait to get back to Nick Harris and the regular TV crew.

The best coverage at Indy was when the "commentators" lost their audio feed.

Fox Sports really looked like a bunch of amateurs in their coverage of the Indy MotoGP. Every once in a while they would cut back to the action after a blah-blah fest, and "oh - look, there's a new leader in the race and we missed it!"

Some pics of the action from Indy I just got around to sorting--thought I'd share. Most of these were shot on Saturday. Sorry I missed the CB1100 crew at the Honda tent.

More Rossi. This was after practice on Saturday morning. Idiot autograph seekers got so pushy that he eventually looked annoyed and took off. I thought it was kind of embarrassing.

A few more shots...

I think this is Marquez. Out in the real world, this would be an accident photo...

Rossi leading a group out of 9. I was about a mile away; had to crop way in on this one.

Three of the "aliens" stopped for a little photo op / practice start at the end of practice on Saturday. Again, I was way down the track.

Awesome pics Pechorin! Wow, thanks for posting them up.

Great pics Pechorin. Thanks.

I was just trawling this post again looking for a picture and came across this great photo of the Honda 500 four. I always thought the CB750 four would be too big a bike for me and this was the compromise. My mate had one and it was just an awesome bike; in some ways a better looking bike than the 750. Thanks for posting the picture dUh.
