Rispoli: Living the Dream; Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix Laguna Seca
|
|
The words "living the dream" never meant so much to me
as they did this past weekend at the Red Bull U.S. Grand
Prix, Laguna Seca AMA Pro round. I know every expert club rider
and the majority of pros would drop almost anything to hop
a ride on one of the most successful AMA pro road race
teams in the business. The names Roadracingworld.com, M4
Suzuki and Ulrich are synonymous with bringing forward stars
like Schwantz, Hopkins, Spies, Young, May, Cárdenas
and many, many more. So when dad said he got a call from John Ulrich
and discussed a "one-off" ride at Laguna Seca when the
MotoGP boys were in town I couldn't believe it. All I could
think of is out of everyone in the country, ME! It took
all of around a millisecond for me to say "lets do it" but
I knew dad had to look at the budget and see if we could swing our
costs of getting there. I mean this was not on our radar
screen at all, nothing on the west coast was and with a full AMA
Pro dirt track schedule it was going to be tight. But believe
it or not word started getting out and some dollars started floating
in to help support the effort. I couldn't be happier with what was
going on and can't thank everyone including my current road race
sponsor, NPS Racing for allowing me to ride someone else's bike.
Every one of my sponsors supported my efforts. It was
sooooo cooool!!!!

H.O.G. MEMBERS RODE 4,373,937 MILES ON MILLION MILE MONDAY
|
|
MILWAUKEE - (July 1, 2009) On Monday, June
29, 2009, Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) members around the world
logged 4,373,937 miles during the club's second annual Million Mile
Monday riding marathon.
"Our members set the bar pretty high
after last year's three million miles, and we are ecstatic to have
exceeded that by more than 45 percent this year," said Benny
Suggs, General Manager of the Harley Owners Group. "But more
important than the number of miles ridden is that so many of our
members joined together on this special day to share the experience
of motorcycling."
To put the cumulative mileage in perspective,
4,373,937 miles is the equivalent of almost 77,000,000 American
football fields (goal line to goal line) or more than 70,000,000
100-meter soccer fields.
