Another Step Towards Success

The accessory that I am currently developing for motorcycles has been consuming my time and thoughts much of  the day and if I previously made it seem like something that was going to be simple and not take much time, I didn't mean to.  Today was another step towards completion after a "problem" was causing my brain to overheat.  However, today that problem currently has a solution that I hope will a successful one.  It's one that has got me very excited for the design process (since I have to design a part to be built to accomplish the "fix").  The design will be finished tomorrow.

The great part about this project is just how much my excitement increases the more I think about it.  It really feels like this is going to be something that you all will appreciate and desire to have.  It will make riding more enjoyable and comfortable for you, and me as well for that matter.  And the fact that it could be a great start to my success in this "dream business" of mine makes it that much more exciting.

Along with the "problem fix" today, an additional benefit to this products arose and it's pretty cool.  Not as great of a benefit as the main aspect of the product but cool none-the-less.  I really hope that with the next few months I can get to the point where I will have the idea "protected" and I can begin to share with you the details so that you can be as excited as I am. 

Thank you soooo much for following my blog and listening to all my jibbering.  I never did well in English class because I'm not much of a writer, so the idea of a blog really didn't feel like something I could do.  Now, it is a great project for me because I know that I have people "listening" to me which feels really good.  So, THANKS.  I will keep you up to date on this new product and also the normal things that I discuss on here.

MotoGP Adding American Circuit

This is great news in my opinion.  It seems that MotoGP has signed a deal to add another American race track to the list of race locations.  We currently have two; Laguna Seca (only the MotoGP class) and Indianapolis (all classes).  And now we are adding one in Texas for all classes as well. 

Heres a link to the motogp site for this news!

What do you think?  Are you excited as well?

Now the interesting part of the whole article is the very end!  Apparently, the track isn't actually even built yet but it's expected to be done.  Seems scary to me but exciting still and good news for Americans and Great news for Texas.  Good job Kevin Schwantz and the rest of the people who worked hard to get this oppurtunity.

More information on the track can be found HERE and at their website HERE.

Race Event in Utah

I spend a decent amount of time on Facebook.  I guess you could say I'm a bit of a Facebook whore.  But it's a great medium for keeping in touch with long distance friends and family and I really enjoy it.  Even the fact of the advertising being more targetable to me specifically by using my interests and points of discussion.  Currently on Facebook the game I am enjoying the most is Zuma and just yesterday I believe it was, I went to play it and found an advertisement for BMW fans.  I'm more of a Yamaha fan but I really like BMW as well.  I checked it out and am now excited for this event.

BMW Fan Package
This offer includes a 3-day Grandstand Event Ticket with parking, facility and paddock fees*, access to the exclusive BMW Motorrad hospitality tent providing lunch and beverages daily, BMW Pilot meet-and-greet, personal autograph sessions with World Champion stunt riders Chris Pfeiffer and Chris Teach, premium concert viewing, PLUS a BMW Gift Bag valued at $60.

All of this for only $215/person!!!!  Really?  I personally think it's a great deal.  And it sounds like a lot of fun as well.  So, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to make this trip! It's a pretty long trip at around about 11 hours but I think it'll be worth it.

Here's the google map for the trip from Klamath!  So, who else is going?  And where we meeting up?  :)

The best of the best

I had a difficult time thinking of a title for this post.  Whenever I'm talking to people about my interests, MotoGP is almost always mentioned and all too often the response is, "What is that?"  WHAT IS MOTOGP?!?!?  It's only the best of the best motorcycle racers racing 18 races in 13 countries and it may be difficult to tell just how much talent it takes to do what they do if your just watching it on TV because the speed isn't obvious.  But if you've ever ridden and tried to improve your cornering ability you'd know this stuff is amazing.  Could you imagine sitting atop a machine that is about the same size as you, going approximately 120 per hour while your knee (protected by a hard plastic) is sliding on the pavement?  Or how about 190 mph about 4 feet above the pavement with another guy right next to you doing the same speed, close enough to touch each other and not letting off the gas till the last possible second so you can get into the corner first?  That's what MotoGP is!!  :)
The just finished the last of their 'testing' before the season starts.  Honda is looking amazing this year.  All three of their factory three man team (usually each factory team is only 2 riders) are doing an awesome job.  Casey Stoner is such a great rider and now that he doesn't have to ride a Ducati he may have a real good chance of taking the championship once again.  Valentino Rossi (An absolute great) isn't going to be so hott this year but I wouldn't count him out of being in the top 5 still by the end of the season but it's going to be a challenge because the first few races I'm not so sure he'll be in the top 10.  Between his shoulder situation and having to develop the Ducati to truly be competitive, he's going to have a tough time.  If someone can do it, it's him.  And the man I will be hoping to see win, Ben Spies, is looking extremely good as well.  Add in Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Nicky Hayden, and even Collin Edwards this year and we're going to see some stunning racing this year!  SO EXCITED!!!  This Sunday I finally get to watch the first race of the year and I may just piss myself with excitement.  :)

Hang out with me this year, have a beer, watch some racing and be happy!  It's 2011 and life is way too short to let all the depressing, upsetting, deranged things that happen in life slow you down.  So, keep on the gas and always wear a smile.  Until next time, Yeehaw

The Starting Line

Every race has a starting point and so does everything else in life.  So, this is my starting point for my blog.

Hmmmm.... What will I talk about?
Whatever I feel like!!!  :)  Alright fine, I will be focussed on the things that are my passion.  Photography, Family, and Motorcycles!  Especially motorcycles and the racing of them.  MotoGP will be a large part of my discussions I'm sure and also other motorcycle road racing venues (i.e. AMA, WorldSBK, Isle of Mann, etc...)  Also, I have had to put my pursuit of my own business aside for now but I will still be doing a few things with it until I can reopen big  :)  and those things will also be discussed.

How often will I post?
I will try to work up to the point where nearly every day I am posting something up but for now I will stick with a more reasonable goal of once per week.

So, now I have gotten my self to the starting point and the race is on.  Hope to see you on the track and even have you join me in carving a few corners.

Klamath Falls fast, James
