In addition to watching all the Bluebonnets bloom and the bats coming out of the Congress Bridge, April in Austin also means....:
So, on MotoGP weekend, we RIDE AND PARTY all over Austin.
Throughout the weekend, several shops (too many to hit all of them) do open house. Free giveaways, free tech sessions, free autograph signing...here's a few pics of Thursday's kick off parties I attended.
1. DUCATI AUSTIN
They serve up free alcoholic wine spritzers and beer, and snacks, and party trays of sandwiches and potato salads.
MAGNIFICENT motorcycle!! Timeless beauty.
Ducati team racers
(skinny guys wearing Duc hats)
autograph signing..
2. Cycle Gear, a local favorite that's a couple miles west of Ducati.
They host several tents throughout the weekend. On this Thursday, they hosted The Christian motorcycle riders,
Ridersmart (track racing school), Geico Ins...
Lots of very trick motorcycles come out at this time of the year.
This one spoke to me!
And this Harley is one of a kind.
COTA added circle track racing to its venue, (see"AMA Pro" in pic below)

is bringing in some heavy weights from all over the USA
to duke it out on Sat under bright lights.
Trick shifter and brake foot levers;
on the left side, no footpeg, shifter deleted, and direct drive for aux starting
Tonight and Tomorrow, I'll be at COTA spectating, AND!
I getr to ride my CB1100 on the track in the parade lap. More to follow....
