I think you should stay another week and hit the US Open of Supercross on the 10th/11th/12th @ the MGM Grand. I get in Friday night to watch the Stewie payday.

proceeds for breast cancer... good cause... tax deductable track time!
well organised, control riders, no passing policy, slow relaxed pace even in the intermediate group... attendence seemed down from past events but I think that probably had more to do with the economy
the manufacturers stepped up to provide bikes of every flavor for demos
I try to give some impressions...
Blast; one lunger with lots of vibes, suspension pure ass, funky bike
XB City X; enjoyed the riding position, sharp looking bike
1125R; plenty of power right off bottom, snatchy fueling from closed throttle, first sportbike I've ever ridden with functional mirrors, still ugly as sin... but I didn't notice while riding it
Screaming Eagle edition Glide; sounded excellent off idle, gearbox & brakes better then expected, carried it's weight well enough, loud/tacky paint
Dyna; sounded nice, liked the subdued paint
Night Rod; excellent power, quiet until opened up, very low seat height, forward controls were way way out there for me, I could be happy with this bike after new pipes & mid controls
Nightster; no one needs more power then this bike offers, clunky gearbox was kinda cool when your used to smooth Japanese drive, I made a couple of right hand turns & with out trying started dragging parts, love the stripped down looks... this is what a motorcycle should look like, one complaint about fit finish was a home depot nut on the headstock, I could be very happy with this bike
Vision; plenty of power, cool vtwin sound & vibes threw floorboards on goldwing, pig that needs throttle... I felt like I was going to tip over doing a 90 degree right turn from stop sign, some of the plastic cowl sounded like it was loose, love/hate it looks
Hammer; excellent power, decent sound, sporty enough for a boulevard blaster, sharp looking bike
Yam Raider; great power, sounded great for a Japenese bike, perfect ergos for forward controls, ugly as sin
Zok M109, MORE power, better brakes & suspension, butter gearbox, ugly as sin
BKing; detuned Busa power is still Busa power, quarter throttle in first, roll on & your doing 60+, excellent fueling, excellent transmission, this mother is a pig... gotta be over 500 pounds, lots of girth between your legs, I like the alien looks
Speed Triple; I've wanted this bike since they were first introduced & this confirmed it, sounded awesome with Arrow pipe... as soon we went under the Nascar underpass I pulled the clutch & reved the piss out of it
Scrambler; prolly don't need more power then this in a street bike, ho hum parallel twin, quiet... sounded like a sewing machine when I could hear it, scary suspension & brakes... pure mush, killer throw back looks
I guess in the great white north, these qualify as "babes", in the Bay Area they are known as fugly.....
(is that you in the pink 2 piece?)

C'mon Rocky, you're just old fashioned...especially when it comes to smart women. I find them kinda nice looking. We need a "Rosetta Stone" image of your definition of beauty. So post one of your girl Rosetta and we'll try not to turn to stone.
Wrong event pal, most of those women need the better part of a herd to cover their ass!
