    Snippets on youtube, Bikes are rare to get attention when tennis and/or cricket are on. Toby Prices wins the Dakar and all that was on TV was how 2 aussie tensis "stars" didnt like each other. Toby was on TV when he won Dakar, not the 2 weeks before.

      Is it safe to assume that this is a race of some sort? Some details would be useful.

            Anyone from here going along? I'm thinking of going Sunday. I met a couple of the guys from team Classic Suzuki at the IOM Classic TT/Manx GP last year and they will be racing their Katana and presumably other bikes this weekend. Such beautiful sounds!

                          Larry Pegram got a scorcher off the line to lead the field through Southern Loop for the first time ahead of Jed Metcher, Steve Martin and David Johnson while pole-sitter Aaron Morris was in fifth place as they exited turn four. Metcher made a small mistake late on that opening lap and lost a little ground but Aaron Morris had the Katana wound up through the back section of the circuit and round turn 11 and 12 to move up on to the tail of Pegram as they started lap two.
