so while i was out in san fran last week, we went to wine country and visited some vineyards out in sonoma. oh yeah, and infineon (aka sears point) raceway is also out in sonoma so we decided to stop by. they just happened to be hosting some AMA superbike testing, so i decided to snap some pics for you all to enjoy.

it figures. I've been flying back and forth out here for the last two months and one of the weekends I'm not here is when AMA tests. I probably wouldn't have known even if I was here though. :-(

I'm jealous, nice pics. Get to talk with anyone?

As a side note - I noticed something hilarious while I was picking up my luggage from the carousel last night at San Fran Airport. A lot of people now use ribbons and such to distinguish their bags from others (I have blue painters tape wrapped around all of my handles). You want to know how *not* to distinguish your suitcase at SFO? Put a rainbow ribbon around your bag.

i probably could've talked to people, but i dont know a whole lot about bikes, let alone the different series and races so i assume if i did talk to someone, it would've gone like this:

me: motorcycles huh?... welp, see ya later!

but i did see some riders goin back and forth between the trailers and the tents in the pits. roger hayden rode right by me on his little dirt bike thing. it was weird because he's been in some kawasaki ads on tv and then seeing him in person the next day after seeing the commercials was kinda cool, not that i get too star struck or anything. i think i've got a pic of the back of him (feersty style) as he was riding by though. i tried to snap one of a honda rider as he was riding by as well but i didnt recognize him, probably because i didnt see him in a tv commercial the night before.

as for the suitcases, yeah, everyone's got ribbons on them now. thats hilarious about the rainbow ribbons though. i think the painters tape is genius though. i dont usually have a tough time picking out my bag, but it never hurts to try.

Cool pics Brian. Weather out there seemed perfect for some testing.
