As if anyone will see this but MotoAmerica is Facebook live streaming an escorted ride for the top Superbike riders across the Golden Gate Bridge right now. (11:00am)
 
you forgot to add "how many riders will Herrin knock down" to the poll

:laughing
 
The Facebook live stream thing was fun.

Rea, Davies, Lowes, Baz, Laverty represented WSBK with Beaubier, Herrin and Debise representing MotoAmerica. All rode street bike equivalents of their race bikes. They started from the GGB overlook in Marin and followed a camera truck and a camera bike across the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco. The CHP held traffic when they entered the bridge on the north side and just generally laughed off curb jumping and rolling burnout shenanigans. I'm surprised Herrin's rear tire lasted as he did so many burnouts.

Go Herrin!!!

Laverty had just come from tying a damsel to some railroad tracks.

Pretty sweet that they let them do the bridge.
 
Sneak peak at PJ Jacobsen's USA theme helmet and bike graphics for Laguna WSBK.

Should be a good weekend! Curious what the rev limits do to this race.

Bummed I'll miss the races and the following trackday with out of town obligations. Baz is taller than Rea while sitting down...
 
There are currently 36 bikes on the timing sheet for SuperSport Free Practice 1. Jeez, it's like a track day out there. A lot of hopefuls, I'm not sure how many make the grid for the races?

If they make the time cut I would assume all. AMA grids used to be huge at times.

No TV or streaming today. Have to wait for social media clips. :(

Cool thanks... Same players at the top of the 600 grid. Fricking 27's is hauling the mail. :wow

Anyone know the time difference at Laguna from the old T10 to the new T10? I know this was a while ago, but I don't think I ever heard if it cut lap times.
 
Marc Edwards AFMer and protege of Kazman is heading the time sheet in the small bike class... :cool

139.443

Go Marc!!
