The spirit of the addicts days at Grattan

Here's a little something I put together, if you never made it to the motorcycleaddicts days at Grattan I hope that clip will make you realize what you're missing.

If you missed the event this year, hope it will make you feel bad

If you where there, well I'm sure you'll like it.

If you're not in the vid, well it's just because I did not have pictures of everyone. I worked with the pics posted and what I had in my computer.

This is the best time I ever had at a track, period.

See you in 2009.

E.

Great work, thanks for capturing the feeling for those not there.

And thanks to all who attend and make this a MUST DO event



Now back to catching up on the several days of posts I missed while away

With every new picture shown a further increase of rage built inside of me.... I hate you all

Sorry had to kill the warm and fuzziness of the thread.
