We were having a freakin snow storm here that night. Which would probably have included the banquet area...they are only 1.5 hours south of me.

Stein broke his ankle? Damn, I was there and I didn't know that. I drove a Saab 9000 Turbo with ruined suspension over Route 2 between Charlemont and North Adams in the blizzard. Spools up pretty easy in that weather with a turbocharged front wheel drive car.
I thought the banquet was pretty fun, but especially the brunch at Keith Hussey's on the morning after. Good food and good stories.
Sucked you guys didn't make it.
Frank,
If I went I might have gotten enraged and had to have my gang beat you up.
And then Mary would have to give you mouth to mouth...and it would have gotten very ugly.
i would have given mary mouth-to-mouth, then gotten enraged, then had MY gang beat ME up, then wish I hadn't gone. Frank, you deserve it. (whatever it is) You're still my hero. (giro?)
Aaron, did you see the photos of Rossi in BIKE mag? did you read he is going to be racing CARS in 2007?:
are you refering to his retiring from the bulls, playing baseball, retiring, then playing basketball again, retiring, then managing basketball, and getting fired.
or are you refering to his enterance into motorcycle racing and the world press kissing his ass like he is some f'ing moto messiah?!?!?!
imho, nothing looks dumber than a 6'9" man trying to ride a motogp bike (see roadracingworld -jordan on ducati pixs).

In reference to "to his retiring from the bulls, playing baseball, retiring, then playing basketball again, retiring, then managing basketball, and getting fired."
Frank...you'd die of a heart attack due to Mary's excessive hotness.
You'd seize up like a cheap two stroke. Ohhh but then you're used to that so maybe you'd be ok!

You are hatin'. I don't recall, "the world press kissing his ass like he is some f'ing moto messiah".
I recall him starting a race team and giving roadracers a chance to make money. And in turn exposing a world of Jordan fans to the world of motorcycle racing.
You wouldn't have ridden a MotoGP bike if someone gave you the chance? INNNNNcorrect.
I was real happy about Jordan and his race team. Just what the sport needed was some cross over action....it might seem ass backwards to US...but to the rest of the country Jordan's involvment gives legitamacy to the sport of road racing.
I'm sure there were some BIG money sponsors looking at the press Jordan and road racing were getting.
JohnnyB
great, start a race team. and then have your team actually win some races. seems like mr jordan is in a lot of photos while his "riders" take a back seat. oh, i guess their not that important huh? well i guess the press has to talk about something. when his team doesn't make any news, we might as well cover mr. jordan taking a victory lap on some bike. please factories give this guy a bike to ride, we promise you some press too. how naive! hell your probably wearing nike!
So you hatin David Letterman and his team? And Paul Newman and his team? Or are you just a Klan member???
What's LOUD TEX got to say about this huh? Have you talked to him about it? I think he'll have something to say.
JohnnyB
I have nothing against Jordan. I just think if he retired the first time he would have gone out with a btter bang. I don't want to see Rossi leave and come back to have his invinsibility shattered.
