Shanghai Moto GP

Eeeeeeeeeeeehaw…..there was Moto GP here in Shanghai on the 06 May. I was all happy that I will be able to see the show when I am here in shanghai. John agreed to give me a ride to the venue along with one of his friends Richard. The Shanghai circuit is far far away from the city, it took an hour to reach the place. The circuit plays host for the Grand Prix also. That is there in the month of October. The venue is such a huge place, phew mind blowing. It will take ages for India to get such a place and facility running with perfection. The main stand is about 5 floors high. When you go near the circuit I could hear the bikes ripping on the tracks. It was a great feeling. A feeling of power represented by the short burst of sound as they zip past the main stand. The main stand is right opposite to the pit stop and there is the start line. I was getting high. There were stalls put by the manufacturers of the bikes. Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki flaunting their super bikes and other normal bikes. We had our seats in Grand Stand B. This is located at the first turn of the track. It was the best view possible that one can ask for. Beautiful day not too sunny, the weather was perfect and we were enjoying the show with some beer. The riders were warming up with their bikes. First race was for 125CC bikes. Man you must see how fast they go and the sound they make. Damn….I should tell mindu to give up his bike for these ones. They had 16 laps for the race. After this there was 250CC bikes race. This race was interesting than the earlier one. The leader of the race had kept the lead for most of the race but there were others behind him who kept challenging him. They would over take him and he would also do that. This fight for the first place amongst the first 5 player was interesting. Meanwhile one of the drivers lost control at our stand and went sliding off the track. It was a sight to watch. But the poor guy could not get up, don’t worry he was alive. A stretcher was used to move him.
After one hour gap there was the super bike race coming up. So we went out to the common open area. By now my kidneys had become balloon and was about to burst. I took refuge in the wash room first. That was my best and longest relieving piss I ever had. After that we took some pictures of bikes. The Suzuki team had put up a stunt show. Skidding, doing wheelies and braking on the front wheel and doing a swing. It was a nice. Most of us would have seen such stunts in Hollywood movies. After this show there was the most awaited race of the day, ever one there was only concerned about bike no. 46, The Doctor, Valentino Rossi. That guy sure has what it takes to be a super bike champ. Boy o boy these bikes are even more noisy and fast. It was a thrilling experience. Whenever a bunch of riders would pass through our stands I could fell the stand and my balls vibrating a little bit. It was great feeling. The Doctor was well challenged by Casey Stoner who eventually won the race. The Doctor over took Stoner on three occasions. On the third occasion he lost control and went outside the track. I am sure if he had this turn correct he would have won the race. Sigh all good things must come to an end. SO did the day and the race and I was heading back to my hotel. I wanted to get a ride on those bikes as a pillion rider. That would also be a good experience. Well let’s see, maybe next time or maybe F1…in a Ferrari.
