I'm at the Indianapolis MotoGP race this weekend and yesterday was able to spot the E92 ///M3 Safety Car in the paddock as well as an ///M6, I can't wait to see it as it comes around w/ all the GP bikes on Sunday.....tune in to CBS @ 3 on Sunday

Enjoy

MTROIS · 09-13-2008, 07:22 AM

Thanks so much for the info Monsta!!!! The pics look great.

By the way, did you drive there?

monsta · 09-13-2008, 07:24 AM

I was planning on riding out not drive, then my dad decided he wanted to come w/ and I got him a ticket and we flew out....

I have a Ducati Monster 900 and a Suzuki SV650s (trackbike)

ok time to head to the track...

Not bad, now that Mercedes-AMG has F1 all to itself.

xsilvor · 09-13-2008, 04:11 PM

The 3 looks so much better than the 6.

monsta · 09-13-2008, 09:21 PM

I got shots of the M3 safety car in motion when it would pit out before the riders came out onto the track...tomorrow is the race @ 3 check it out.......post up the pics tomorrow

SS32 · 09-13-2008, 09:28 PM

How do you like your monster? I'm thinking of getting one in a couple years, probably not the 900 though; it'll be my first bike.

Davinhci · 09-13-2008, 11:22 PM

thanks!

skierman64 · 09-13-2008, 11:41 PM

Thanks for sharing Monsta, I wish I could have gone.

Since I have a Monster 900 (no electonic injection though... the original one with carburators) I thought I would tell you two things:
First, if you have roads with lots of twisties around you... you have to get one! Also, don't be afraid of 900 vs. 750 (or whatever the numbers are these days) because although quite mean, the motorcycle is relatively user-friendly (at least at the beginning because once you start to 'race' then it becomes a physical bike to master).
Second thing: the looks... nothing can beat this except the 999 (may be).
Monsta... do you agree?

It's actually on NBC. Got the DVR set to record it as the wife and I are heading to the track this afternoon.

skierman64 · 09-14-2008, 11:12 PM

Monsta, I caught part of the race today on NBC while switching between 2 NFL games and the NASCAR race. Too bad it rained all day, Ike is screwing everything up. Do you have any idea why the motorcycles are running the opposite direction of the F1 cars? It seemed very strange.

I was @ Indy in Mar for the M/C Dealer Expo and the new track was still under construction at the time. Personally, I think the place is a DUMP, but I guess it has "history". Haha!

I was @ the Assen GP in 2007 and the M6 sounded INSANE ripping around the track. They had a few BMW bikes there also.

booforty · 09-15-2008, 03:35 PM

Cool safety car

monsta · 09-15-2008, 06:30 PM

Got some pics of the M3 in motion during the wet...goodlord it rained like hell...F-ing IKE!!!! race was stopped short 7 laps and 250 was cancelled altogether...fun weekend...saw a MR right by the track and a E90...couldn't snap any pics...

Definitely get one...great bike...even as a track bike w/ high mounts they are great bikes just make sure to hang off a lil more and take the side stand off b/c you'll start dragging it...listen to MTROIS!! If you get one make sure to get a dry clutch one..non of that wet clutch crap...
