Pretty much - just calling out the ........ Jumkie.

PS - good photos - looks like you had a great time again.

Son of Doohan in the paddock He's never even been to a gp, he lives in the outback you know. miles from anywhere

Why are these dudes, who are supposed to be cool as .... going back to the 80's ray ban, blues brothers, style of sunglasses. Rossi's are the worst.

I've been wondering the same thing too. You think Rossi's look is the worst? When I snuck into the hotpit, I thought I had wondered into 1972. Check out this look by Roger Lee Hayden. You know I love these guys, but seeing him with this look made me want to go up and tell him to slap himself.

Somebody assure me this look isn't making a comeback.

Here is one of their pit. You can see Hayden's mom and sister to the left, and J. Hacking #88

I haven't seen anything nor am I personally picking it up. Damn even Rog is sporting those gay ... sunglasses. I think I can live with the grungy 70's look but damn those sunglasses kill me. Anybody see Rossi at Misano WSBK.



Sorry, back on topic

More Laguna .... please.

Well I better tell the story of how I got this pic now that fing high horse Povol forced me to tell it prematurely.

7301:Vermi_Loris.JPG]

So we’re walking around the vender area when I see this long ... line. We don't know what its for so we keep walking by. When we get to the front I ask, what are all these people in line for? The security usher says, Loris and Vermi are going to have a 15-minute autograph session. (Wow, that’s pretty cool considering it’s was Sunday, about 2 hours from the start of the race). So we hang out and they arrived shortly. They start signing autographs and taking pictures with people. So I snapped the pic above. All these people had been waiting patiently in line (in the bright Sun no less), and this dude tries to cut in line (and one of the ushers called him out rather sternly). People started laughing at the guy causing embarrassment. I didn't see what had happened so I asked the usher, who were you talking too, and why are people laughing? He says, "That guy was trying to cut in line." I looked over and only saw this guys back and face bowed in a bit of embarrassment and shame…haha, busted. Then the usher looked back at me a bit concerned and said, "he wasn't your boy right?" Haha, no way I said. Cali Kid, who was standing next to me says, "We don't associate with Kawi people" (One thing you should know about CK, he hates Kawasaki. The poor guy was wearing a Kawi shirt, so immediately he became the butt of our jokes). So we start laughing. And then I added (too keep the laughs going), "Yeah, I wouldn't be claiming him even if he was my boy, cuz he's an ugly mothatfucker." At which time this man standing next to me starts talking ..... (Turns out it was his kid, as in his son). Oh snap! At that moment I should have said, "if you wanna give anybody ...., it should be your kid for trying to cut in line." But I didn't. I sorta felt bad because we were making fun of this guy's kid (as in his son) even though he was a big full-grown kid. So I didn't egg him on. The moment was already funny enough and I'm pretty sure the dude's father was pretty embarrassed since his kid got caught, perhaps why he tried to vent on me. There was a small verbal exchange with my buddy telling him to "relax, it was just joke". The guy wouldn’t let it go and kept staring at me. I looked him once over and both felt a bit pissed and a bit embarrassed, but cooler heads prevailed. So I tell the man, "Hey man, let it go". But the damage had been done, we all walked away looking at eachother trying to hold back the laughs.

I actually took a picture of the ....... ..... who got caught cutting in line and the dad who got pissed at me (yeah, I'll stop and take of photo of any moment, anything funny or worth while).

"Rock the van!"

(Background: For our foreigner friends, we've been having a slue of commercials lately where they show iconic images vans in pop culture riding down the streets some of which are shown in car chases and ...., then they go to the modern van they're trying to sell, of course the message is, vans are cool. The commercial ends with, "Rock the Van!")

So Cali Kid recognizes this guy who had sold him one of the passes to the track. He happens to be a guy that works for an exhaust company of which I need a part for my bike so we spark up a conversation. It turns out the guy is sleeping in his van, so we invite him to our campsite to spend the night. He hangs out with us the rest of the day. While talking to him, it becomes increasingly apparent this guy is a massive pot smoker. I’m talking about the caliber of pothead that doesn’t want to do .... except smoke pot all the time! Anyway, when we get back to the campsite we naturally start drinking booze and taking tequila shots…

Pot smoker (we just met at the track) in the gay sunglasses with the blue tint:
7307:camp_shot2.JPG]7306:camp_shot1.JPG]
7308:camp_shot4.JPG]7309:champ_shot3.JPG]
7310:camp_shot5.JPG]7311:camp_shot6.JPG]

So obviously we get so ...... up we can’t ride our bikes into town. So we ask the pot smoker if he will take us. He starts saying ‘nah man, its cool, I’m just gonna kick it here’. We ask him repeatedly but the guy keeps giving us excuses. So we start telling him c’mon man, we are hooking you up with a place to stay and this and that, blablabla. But the guy won’t budge. So eventually we’ve been drinking and we are pretty much drunk (Roger, you can relate from last year). By this time we know none of us can drive so we start pressuring this dude to give up the van and take us into town. We promise him we will buy him food and ..... Well if you know a pot smoker, that’s the magic bullet, cuz they always get the ‘munchies’.

So we get in his van and continue the partying...

Pot-smoker dirver

We finally get into Monterey and we park in some shopping center. Of course we feel we haven't had enough to drink so we take a few more shots before we got to Cannery Row (the main street in town where all the activity is happening).

Dinner (making the pot smoker happy)
7317:dinner.JPG]

So by this time we’re so high that Cali Kid finds this fat chick to dance with and Clarky starts busting the moves on this chick that had some serious mileage on her (been around the block a few times if you know what I mean). Haha, I of course found some nice peace of ..., grade-A, prime meat of a chick to go hang out with. Hehehe. (jk)

Anyway, so we finish with this club and go on to the next one. But the second one is pretty wack. Meanwhile, pot-smoker has been whining and complaining all night that we are not gonna make the track curfew (they close the gates at midnight). So I tell him chill out, don’t worry. But all night he’s been bitching and complaining. None of us pay him any mind though. It was like we took the poor guy hostage. (What a dumb ..., the ...... never realized he could just up and leave, after-all we were all drunk and he had the keys to his own van). Hahaha. So we end up going to Clark’s hotel room. Which turned out to be more like a luxury suite at the Four Seasons. (No ........, this thing was huge). Pot smoker doesn’t want to come inside and says he’s gonna sleep in his van. (We start think, damn, this guy finally figured it out, he’s gonna bail out when we go inside the room. But we’re thinking, .... it, he got us this far.)

So we crash out and in the morning, there’s pot-smoker! In the parking lot. So we jump in and start yelling, "Rock the van!"
7312:A_team_Van.JPG]

This gets pot-smoker all pumped up and starts hauling ... through the canyon! Bobbing and weaving, we all start leaning into curves as he accelerate out of turns like he's on a bike and all of us yelling and screaming slow the .... down. But he hauls more ...!
7319:R_Van.JPG]
Everything started getting blurring and fuzzy
7320:R_Van2.JPG]

...... I thought this fool was gonna kill us. I started having visions of us being found three days later at the bottom of some canyon.

I guess that's what we call pot-smokers revenge as the driver yelled back, "I'M GONNA ROCK THE VAN!" FUUUUUCK!
