2005 MotoGP

The early tests for the 2005 MotoGP riders and bikes are now underway in Sepang. The Honda team has an improved version of the RC211V and Biaggi has been quoted saying "no more excuses, I have the best team and the best bike"... that remains to be seen. The Americans Nicky Hayden and Collin Edwards are now riding with Honda and Yamaha respectively. It will be a fun season to watch as Rossi (Yamaha) tries to defend his championship title against the new Honda fleet, and last years new Ducatis. Capirossi (Ducati) should make a top three appearance this year and I think Gibernau can give Rossi a run for it. For a full list of riders goto http://motogp.tiscali.com/en/motogp/riders.htm?menu=riders and there are some wicked backgrounds posted for the 2005 season calendar.

In Seattle... this weekend Amanda's friend Sarah (on left) comes down to dance it up at the clubs. Watchout boys. The weather has been beautiful and sunny everyday but fairly chilly. The ski-mountains still have very little snow and Dan FINALLY updated his site with new pictures and the news that he's MARRIED. Congrats Dan and Sarah.
