[Photo Feature]: MotoGP Indianapolis 2008 - Pics - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

rossiter · 09-24-2008, 02:24 PM

I made a trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) couple of weeks back to watch the Redbull Indy MotoGP. Few pics from the weekend. I left my P&S camera back in the US so I don't have a few priceless pics. But anyhow, this should suffice. Was an amazing weekend, especially for a Rossi nut like myself. But no patience to post a full blown Rossiter writeup

Hope the pics will suffice

Practice:

Pillion on the Desmo:

Qualifying:

Here come the big boys:

Turn 2.. Rossi style

The Ducati camp:

The Maddur CCD is just out of the frame..

09 R1 with race slicks and Akras. I rode this exact bike, but without the aftermarket exhausts, and on street Diablo Corsas.

Infield:

MotoGP warm up:

"The Maddur CCD is just out of the frame.."

You do have a good sense of humour! Thanks for the pictures, I just cannot even begin to imagine how you must have felt being there.

Thanks for sharing Akhil.. but I already saw these in ur Picassa album.. hehehe

Hey Rossiter, finally you have put it up here. But no text yet. I know you are a bit low. But, hey, we pine for texts from you. And the little incident with Pedrosa. They make for interesting reading for all of us. Will be eagerly waiting for something more than just photographs.

Hey Akhil...........do include how you felt about the new 09 R1 that you saw and rode, may be a comparison between the 08 and 09.....

TheRedPill · 09-24-2008, 08:38 PM

When Akhil was there in Indy track, he called me up and I was blessed to hear the live motogp machines running and revving

Thanks Akhil for that
