 I am posting this letter to propose a new node. Lets call it 
 net.cycle.political. I have read the news being posted lately and
 it is so dissapointing. Every article is about, helmets, drinking
 and rights so I would like to write a little something about
 motorcycling. Don't get me wrong, the aforementioned issues are
 very important and should provoke discussion, but a little change
 of pace is necessary. Lest we forget what motorcycling is all about.
    Did anyone attend the Laguna Seca Camel Pro races on July 12-13?
 I rode my BMW R65 from San Diego with a group of friends from the
 LA area. We took Hwy 1. from San Luis Obispo to Monterrey. This was
 my first ride through the area. The views from the highway are
 truly awesome. Even more so, when you are chasing a Kawasaki J1000
 through the twisties. As we rode on we passed tens of riders, all
 packed and headed for the big event. I do recall the Yamaha 920
 Virago, that I chased for about 5 miles until I finally got by.
 That was motorcycle dicing at its funnest. The races were the best
 I have seen in my four years of attending the races. Eddie Lawson,
 Randy Mamola and Mike Baldwin put on some great racing. The lead
 changed many times, as all riders challenged for the lead. Then
 Lawson went down at the top of the corkscrew. I left before the
 second heat but by my friends accounts it was just as good. Well,
 its friday, so I better get home and check the oil and air pressure
 on the 900 Ninja for the weekend ride. Hope to hear from some other
 riders. See you in the chicane.

 P.S. A friend of mine is moving to Chicago and would like to know
 if there is any club racing in South Beloit race track? Thank You.
