My pal and my son managed some VIP tickets to the air races this year. Also some pit passes. I thought I'd share some of these because there seems to be a few of us who like this kind of thing.
Not a ride report, but some of us appreciate this kind of rapidly-vanishing scenery:

Brilliant! Makes you want a custom paint job on the bike doesn't it?
