Where to watch Laguna Seca round of MotoGP on T.V.?

[jimboecv]

Since I can't go for my usual three day camping extravaganza, if you call Top Romin for breakfast an extravaganza, I'm not too excited about riding down for Sunday with my perceived drawbacks of a day trip (traffic and parking mostly).
I know they'd put it on the tube at The Danville Bowl if I ask nice but that not quite the crowd I'm looking for.

Any ideas for viewing?


Locations Showing the Race

D-Store
Ace Cafe

[Michael Moore]

The Dainese store in SF usually shows GP races. Or maybe Lanesplitters in the E. bay.

Not sure the D-Store will be open Sunday. Most of 'em will be at the race. I'm sure BG or DaineseDan will chime in.

That said, I'm SURE the Ace Cafe (14th/Mission SF) will show it.

I heard from someone that Ace showed the races earlier than a posted time once before.  Don't know if that's true or not, but that would be a real pisser.  Should folks call before if they plan on heading over to Ace?

I've never heard of that happening. And this would probably be a live broadcast

I'll try to check with Rob when I get back from SLC.

I figured the D-store would be closed.  Lanesplitters I'll check into and Ace will be nice.   I remember something about Ace showing a race from a different feed and some spoilers got out. 
There's always Ricky's in San Leandro but that place is such a mixed bag.

MAYBE Nichols' scooter shop in Fremont?

[jimboecv]

I looked on genuine scooters website for the Nichols address and they're not listed.  I thought they sold genuines.

Ops, found it.

[jimboecv]

Nothing at Nichols.

Last week they said showings at 3 and 6, and ended up starting earlier. I'll post up on their FB group to find out what the deal is this time...

[Drunken Monkey]

Showing from 3 to 6 according to their web site. But given that the race is supposed to take place at 2,  I wouldn't count on a 3 start time. Plus it appear to be showing late in the day on speed.

[jimboecv]

O'great, so I watch it at home w/mega-interuptions AND I have to get my own beer or... bah!
OK, alright, not time to panic yet.

We'll be here!  We'll be showing the race live at 2:00pm and will have free food and drinks on hand.  Come on down!
