MotoGP and World Super Bike are on their way to a DIGITAL Speed Channel near you SO I would like to have a Race-Watch Party at our house Sunday, April 26th (Assen - WSBK and Motegi - MotoGP).
We'll provide the BBQ, y'all provide the bacon vodka drinks.
And we've got a covered patio and a big backyard so if ya' got stogies - tote 'em [evil]
Cheers!

Awesome [thumbsup] [beer]
Well, I totally screwed up and posted my March 1 deal on a weekend where there's already a Race Watch going on [bang] Sorry Slag. You'd think I'd be able to negotiate my way around forums by now...
Oh well, I've modified my original "March 1st" party post to reflect some changes.
Oh, and by the way, we're cigar *and* vodka friendly.
I'm just sayin' [evil]

Me too. I watch all the races so if I am alive I will be there whichever weekend works for everyone else. [thumbsup]
Count me in [thumbsup]
Alrighty then! Shaping up to be a great new year; race watch parties EVERY weekend in April [cheeky] [laugh] Hell, that just might work; Slag's got the race parties in March, they're here in April, then in May they're at SVOLOCH'S, bwah-ha-ha [evil]
I kind of like the April 26th date - Assen is usually a great race. Let's tentatively shoot for that?
I'm surely down for this! [thumbsup]
I would prefer the 26th date.
That day we'd get to watch WSBK and MotoGP

I still have a jar of that stuff to
get rid of share with my friends.... [drink]
Another Boyd BBQ is long overdue--can't wait. [thumbsup] [beer] Can you say "уÑик мÑÑа"? [laugh]

Stop calling me Shirley! [laugh]
Sure, the 26th sounds great! Can't wait for WSBK, it's my favorite series. MotoGP is OK but it's just not close enough or competitive enough. May be a good race here and there but usually not for the lead. WSBK has races like last year's Laguna Seca MotoGP race almost every race... and that's for the lead as well as down in the pack. The Laguna Rossi/Stoner fight was the only MotoGP race from last year that really stands out. Sure both Rossi and Bayliss dominated their series but Rossi's MotoGP win wasn't nearly as exciting or interesting.
Looking forward to race time! [thumbsup]
[bacon] Sounds like fun count me in too ! [thumbsup] [beer]
4/26 sounds good to us [thumbsup]
April 26th it is [moto]
Awesome! I will finally get to meet your Italian Greyhound ;D

Cool - y'all could bring yours [thumbsup] (Is she O.K. off-lead though? We don't have a fence.)
A couple of Iggies chasing each other... sounds like we could get a betting pool together [laugh]
Ha! Now there's an idea [clap]
dont you need a rabbit for them to chase?

Yes, Assen is always an awesome race.

Ha! You know four years ago when we brought our Iggy home, she bolted out of the car and started running in big circles in the back yard. No kidding. 4 months old and off to the races :o Not much on endurance of course... think she slept the rest of the day bit I digress [bang]
The 4/26 should be a whole afternoon of awesome moto racing goodness. Glad you can make it [thumbsup] [moto]
BUMP
Mark your calendars for race watcing and good times ;D (Maybe someone can post a pix or two from the last one...) [evil]

Very cool! Thanks CJ [thumbsup]
Hey! Where's my favorite pic of all time? The one with Bryant and the meat mustache?? [laugh] [popcorn] [bacon] Who took that one?
Yeah that was a classic. Think it musta been L'Smart.

Yeah, it was L'Smart--had to dig it up on TOB (under a covert screename, of course, since I'm banned and all.... :P)
[edit] well, wadda ya know, the pic I posted was here for a while, and is now gone from this board and TOB--drats, they figured me out. [laugh]

Haha... Foiled!
We'll just make Scott post it up! [thumbsup]
the meat mustache is very funny!!!!!!
Alrighty then; this Sunday is our race watch and BBQ at our house. Everyone is invited. We will be providing the food but if y'all don't mind you may want to bring a favorite beer or two ;D We also have a patio if you want to bring a cigar...
WSBK Race 1 from Assen starts at 2pm, followed at 3 by Race 2 (both SBK race televised back-to-back :o How weird is that?) MotoGP from Japan starts at 5pm.
Y'all all are welcome anytime on Sunday - we'll fire-up the grill at 3 (depending on the weather situation) and dinner should be around 6. PM me for directions ;D
Please post if you plan to stop by so we can have plenty to eat [thumbsup]
Lisa
P.S. Alan is making his famous bread pudding [evil]
Cool--can't wait [thumbsup] [moto] [drink]
I think I remember the way, but just to be sure please hit me with your addy Lisa.
Also, don't hesitate to post up any last minute items needed.
Awesome! Thanks very much. I'm sending you a PM now [beer]
Add UJ and me to the list [thumbsup]
Very cool [beer]
I have told "she who must be obeyed" about this so she can't say she hasn't been warned. Colin had a noon baseball game but it has been cancelled for some reason. I will have to wait to see where all the other chips fall before committing on the time... but I do plan on coming. I will be solo. Jen would rather have a root canal than watch a bike race... what's wrong with her??? Weather looks iffy. Taking the truck will allow me to bring more beer! Nothing wrong with that!!! [clap]
What happened to give and take? You watch kid sports and family football torture with bubba in law and she won't watch a race for you. Doesn't seem very fair.
No it's not. Good question! Thank you for noticing. [thumbsup]
Life is short. Be happy.
Unsure at this point... if I do show, it will be with kids in tow... is that ok?

I'm not sure if the Boyd's have enough liability insurance to cover me, you AND your kids!! [laugh] [beer]
[laugh] Kids are welcome
Quote from: Cher on April 23, 2009, 10:07:50 AM
[laugh] Kids are welcome
In that case, I'll be there!
What's up with this? Who's going and who's not? What is the head count? I am sure the Boyd's would like to know too?? Chime in folks or be busted at the door by the bouncer!! ;D
Looks like we're going to have some awesome racing on the telee ( [laugh] that was for Andym ) this afternoon. Weather, on the other hand, not so much...

A-ha! Updated the list ;)
Wish I could be there you guys.
Forza Haga and Spies!
A bag of ice
might be nice
if anyone else shares my vice!
On our way, will grab a bag of ice along the way [thumbsup]
Thanks to Lisa and Alan for the hospitality and the awesome food. [thumbsup] [beer]
Great seeing everyone--it was cool hanging out and watching the races. [moto]
Wow - great stuff! Great racing, good food, and the best people EVAH [beer]
Y'all have a great week!
Lisa
Great time. Great food. Great races. Great meeting/seeing everyone.
Thanks much! [beer]
What an incredible day!!!
The Boyds ( [bow_down] ) provided not one, not two, but three, that's right, THREE motorcycle races on a HUGE TV this afternoon. And they were Tivo'd for our viewing convenience.
But wait! There's MORE! Our hosts provided us with mass quantitites of Brisket, Sausage, corn on the cob, and baked potatoes. And, as if that weren't enough...home-made raisin bread! WITH SAUCE!
Now, you're probably wondering how this event could have possibly been made any better, so listen to THIS: How about great conversation around the table about motorcycles, morons who need to be/have been eliminated from The Gene Pool, riding motorcycles, buying motorcycles, buying motorcycle chitt...and more!
What a day, indeed! Shame on YOU if you miss the next one.
(And thanks, Lisa, to you AND Le Bon Chef for your sterling hospitality, great food and thoughtfulness.)
George
Yes, awesome stuff all 'round!! The food kicked butt. My only complaint is that I couldn't eat more! [laugh] Great races on the tube too. Sorry for the confusion on the Spies crash info. Just got my race stories off Cycle News mixed up. Didn't really concentrate on the articles as much as the actual race results in the atricles. Kind of quickly buzzed through them and they blended together in what's left of my mind. :P
Anyway, thanks again Lisa and Alan for the hospitality and wonderful BBQ, 'taters, corn and bread pudding! You guys rock!! [clap] [drink] As always, great seeing all the crew.
Thank you Lisa and Alan for sharing your home, food, and hospitality. I'm barely able to function now as I'm slipping in and out of some sort of bbq & bread-pudding induced coma.
Always a pleasure to be in the company of good folks. Thanks for having us. [thumbsup]
Definitely an awesome afternoon [thumbsup]
Cher's TiVoing skillz are unrivaled [bow_down]
The racing ( :o ) was only exceeded by the company, the food, & the hospitality [clap]
Thank You [beer]
Thank you very much for the hospitality and BBQ! Very good.
PICS!!! Wish Mindy and I were there!
We wish you were there too! ;D Lord knows there was plenty of food! They should of handed out "to go" containers. [thumbsup] It was really good.
This didn't happen. :o
