MOTO GP or Bust - My Trip to Laguna Seca and Back 7/18 - 7/26, 2006

PLANNING AND PREPARATION
I flew out to the 2005 Moto GP races and rented a car to get around. I had a great experience and decided I would make this event a yearly must do. But cage driving was a total pain around Monterey, California because of major gridlock everywhere. With lane splitting in action I saw that riding a bike was the way to go. So from that time the seed was planted to ride my sport-touring bike, a 1991 Honda CBR1000F with over 44,000 miles on it, out to California. When I heard that LT Snyder, Greg Calhoun and others were going to ride from Alabama I hooked up with them. The plan was to ride with Calhoun and Scott Armstrong from Birmingham then meet up with LT and Brad Gaines somewhere in Colorado. Calhoun had arranged for us to stay at his friend's beach house in Monterey for free!
