| You guys in Old Europe have all these great tracks to go to. I want to ride them as well and see the GP's etc. Le Mans is also a must do, though the race years ago was more exciting with all the different classes and speed mixed up. Anyway, I noticed Route 66 and that intrigues me. I traveled that as a kid in an un-airconditioned Chevy in the middle of summer! Great memories though....all that stuff in the movies is basically true., but R66 is now a shell of its old self. Still, a good thing to dream about and I hope you get the chance! My biggest similar ride was on vestiges of 66 and other newer highways from the middle of Texas to California stretched out on an A7 Kasawaki (sic) 350, doing about 100 mph most of the way. I have also been on the track at Indy, kind of an historical experience and Laguna Seca and the mighty corkscrew!
But all the stuff on the first list is on mine as well. I will just have to satisfy myself with Motegi, Suzuka and Sendai (though I have ridden on the remains of the Asamayama course, basically a pumice TT course that was used as the first Japan GP....this is where Yamaha started to develop their first hot 250 racers).
Lucky Brits!  |
