Disneyland For Gearheads

I refuse to grow up.

For a brief two days out of the year, I make the annual trek south and subject my aging body to an assault of the senses to witness the lightweight jockeys work their god-like feats of magic atop unbridled two-wheeled mayhem machines. As they circled the newly paved 2.238 miles of asphalt at speeds that put us lowly mortals to shame, I occasionally dared to dream the wannabe fantasy that some day I might manage to cut my (not quite the same thing) S2000's two minute lap time down to something respectable...but then Casey Stoner goes ahead and does the amazing: blow away the track record with a 1 minute 22 second performance. That quickly puts to rest those foolish aspirations of mine.

And the fantasy continues...peppered throughout the weekend are up close-and-personal photo opportunities with gorgeous eye candy,

both two-wheeled...

Sure, the crowds are annoying, the sun is scorching, your feet hurt, the food is unbelievably expensive (nine dollars for a scoop of rice, a piece of teriyaki chicken and a bbq beef stick??) and you got a farmer tan lookin' like you done plowed the back forty, but where else can you ditch the S.O. (temporarily!!!) and be a 10-year-old-kid all over again?
