*Liam's Wild Ride*

How tightly are they guarded, Liam - the bikes, the parts and the untangible data?

Would any kind of industrial espionage (liek the McLaren-Ferrari fiasco of this year) be considered possible?

Roughly, what part of a team's budget goes for the transportation/security?

And a few posts earlier, someone said that one of the Ducati teams gave away a barrel of race gas to two lucky blokes. Was it your group? ;)

Sky. Or was it Earth?
 
What up Liam! Great to finally meet the source of hours of entertainment and inspiration. What is really cool is having a feeling of personal connection with MotoGP now. It was worth buying a shirt to be able to tell my friends "See ya later. I'm going over to the Pramac D'Antin garage. They know me".

Big thank you to Popmonkey for the shot at Baskin Robbins after my camera battery died.

Hey Liam, you should look into doing one of those text message updates things. Ya know, "Text MOTOLIAM to 1 (866) 555-7273 to get weekly MotoLiam updates! ((standard text messaging fees apply))" Really, you should look into that.
 
Hey Liam,I did not make your meet-n-greet at Laguna as I went to the Buell intor shindig. Are you mailing out shirts??

Hey everyone, beaming to you live from Frankfurt airport. I am back in Europe and starting to get back into this mode of life again. It was a fantastic trip, full of action and adventure, meeting old and new friends, and most of all, riding around! It wilil take me a couple days to acclimate out here to the lifestyle and the time change, and by then I should be on my way to Brno. Not sure who the rider is going to be, but we´ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I really, really want to say thank you to everyone I saw and spoke to, everyone who picked up a Laguna shirt (which enabled me to give one to each team member I travel with), and the people who made this trip extra special already know who they are. I got in a small mini-ride with Brad, ate a ton of good cheeseburgers at Zeitgeist, and reconnected with all the ethnic foods I just can´t get out here. Lots of suspense starting for us in the paddock at the next two races, Brno and Misano, because I think decisions concerning team structures for next season are going to begin now. I haven´t received any confirmation of my own plans, sp we´ll see how it goes. Thanks eveyone!!
