On My Way To MotoGP And MSF iRETS In Indy

A few posts ago I mentioned I hadn't had any long rides in this year, but I had a plan...

I left work early today with my SV650 loaded up and headed south east to Davenport, Iowa, my over night stop on my way to Indianapolis, IN. 330 miles later, I checked into my hotel just after the sun went down. It was a chilly ride when the temps dropped to the mid 60s.

Thursday and Friday is the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's International RiderCoach conference. I am looking forward to learning new ways of being a better coach and instructor.

Saturday and Sunday I will be at the Speedway watching the MotoGP excitement. I love watching it online, but there is something special about seeing it live. The noise. The smell. The crowd. It's a fun time.
