Day 31:

We tried to sleep long but it didn’t work. So we went down stairs and had breakfast got ready and off we went. We first drove down to Kawasaki In Ervine. Kurt Rood met us and took us in. We looked into the workshop and took a few picks…
Then we gave my bike back who was in desperate need of some TLC Tender Loving Care =). Here I want to thank Mike Fisher and Kawasaki USA for all there help.
We then drove down to Lake Elsinor and my friend Colin Hinks who was so kind enough to lend us his Spanners …. He saved us a lot of times because of that. We had lunch and it was good to see him and talk about the good old days…
Then we rushed up to Chaparral and gave Robbys bike to them. Todd Baldwin, who had helped us a lot while we have been here -Thank you Todd- is having our bike crated so we can send it home.
We then drove back to our good old Hotel got some things quickly and met up with Tony Mike Jeff and there neighbour and her kid for supper. After that we went back to there house and hang out there for a while and spoke to Mike, Jeff and Tony and thanked them for all there help and friendship. Mike gave us some posters and a set of his personal Alessi Goggles for Robby.
We r in the hotel and ready for bed. Its been a wonderful training opportunity and we are both are going home fit.

Speak to you all soon   

Day 30:

We woke up to a semi sunny day. The ground look a bit wet but here things dryed up quickly. It's as if the ground is a spounge. We went and had breakfast again with Tony and Mike. Jow Oehlauf was there with his father as well and Tony had some friends there who has some tracks in Northen CA. Pitty we would have loved to go race there.. Maybe next year, =))
We went off to the track that they graded yesterday and man was it perfect. We did a few laps to warm up then filled our bikes up went. Tony let us start 20 sec apart. We did a 35 min moto again and it was fun... We had a break and some thing to drink then we did another 10 lap race. Travis Preston came also and was doing some laps. I had to stop after 5 laps. My bikie was taking strain after doing so many hours on the fast heavy sand track so I took it easy.
We packed and met up at a sandwich bar ...fooooood... We then to wash and prep our bikes, I have to take back my bike today. :-(
Did our washing and then Sleeep


Day 29:

We were up and went down stairs for breakfast. Then we went back off to our good old training track (that looks like the marine corps have been using for bomb training). Just 2day it was dry and dusty. It was a really good training session, after 30 min every one was empty… The track was a killer today. We took a break and had something to eat. Then we went off to mikes secret track that his dad had had a grader on there the whole morning. I filled my tank up to the limit and off we went.
Before we left to train mike tried his hardest to break the grader =) No I’m just kidding he was having fun making a pit area =) It was awesome amount of fun. They widened the track and the burm’ s were so much fun it was breath taking. We first emptied the track of it biggest rocks, Even though it is a sandy track but it took a while because its 3min40 long. Then I blasted around there till my tank was so empty it was running on fumes. Mike had the grader drive build a step up that made you have HUGE air time. It was such a good, fun training day.
We prepped our bikes for tomorrow and ate huge amounts of food… And I mean Huge amounts; OP Even though I’ ve lost weight since I’ ve gotten here im trying my hardest to put some on but its not working!!
It was a little bit of Heaven today …Not quite a Namibian Sand dune but, never the less, a lot of fun. Its Raining out side and we cant wait to go ride!!!! Rain at last … Thank you God =) Funny its not like me to be over the moon about rain but when it does come down here the tracks all turn into perfection…
So off to sleep then I wont have long to wait till I can ride again!!!

Day 28 Sunday:

We were up at about 9h00 which was a surprise. It was the latest since we have been here. We had finished our bikes completely yesterday so we went and had a bit of a lazy day.
I went running for over an hour along a water duct which was very peaceful. It was strange to see just how many Pickups had MX bikes or quads on them!!!! Just at breakfast looking out of the window we saw 3 pickups parked at Big Boy with MX bikes on them. This is the country where MX happens and on the weekends there are so many families out there riding off road vehicles weather its quads, MX bikes or pick ups.
I did some reading which helps relax me because I am looking forward to tomorrows riding.

Day 27:

We met up with the Alessi for Breakfast. Then we went with Mike and Jeff to bye some things for their Ipods. After that Robby and I went to bye some things for my Bike. We came back washed our bikes and put a new clutch into mine. Then we went and got our self’s some food in a shopping mall just down the road.
After that it was a relaxed evening in front our TV.


Day 26:

It was our day off. Tony phoned and asked if I could help him pick up his Camper. So we went and met for breakfast and off we went down to Corona to the KTM SX track and picked up his Camper. While we were there I had a look at the other SX-Tracks that are really close to each other The Suzuki Kawasaki, Honda and KTM plus some private tracks also. Here are some pictures of them. There is a picture of the person who builds all the tracks for every 1 up the …. The so called Track Guru.
I realised why the top pro `s are so good at SX other than the fact that they train really hard, they have  extremely good tracks to ride on. When we got back to Hesperia Tony and I picked up one of there pick ups and went looking at one of the out door tracks they have in the desert. We had a real fun time shredding around the desert. Trying to climb up steep hills and down cliff faces. It was fun.
We found another track which looked awesome gees… Tony is bringing a huge tractor out there to prep a track on Monday and Tuesday. We got back and met up with the boys Mike, Jeff and Robby at Subways, had some food, and then went back to the hotel.
We stayed there watched a bit of tv and I took an hour nap… I was up on my Computer till late last night chatting to Nadine.
Here is a  picture of Robby at BREAKFAST having the same food as Mike and a typical USA Car. This country is full pick ups.. Yes please, its my kind of Weather.
Day off riding again 2 morrow. We have 2 do our bikes still.

Then the desert awaits us …..


Day 25:

We met Mike and Tony for breakfast again. Then we drove down to Glenn Helen. The track was well prepared and I did 2 motos and some fast laps. There were a lot of people riding. We bummed in to Brett Metcalf who was out there 2. There were also a few MX-teachers out there doing schools. I have some pictures of the track and breakfast table … We came back had a shower and got us some food …It seams that all we do is Train, Sleep and Eat. Oh did I mention Eat ;o) Even though we are consuming a lot of food I’ve lost weight. It’s the training. The weather has warmed up again and its almost T-Shirt time again.

Day 24:

We were up pretty early this morning and off to breakfast with Mike, Jeff, Tony, Robby and I. Off we went back to the same track and did some riding. I was feeling the weeks riding and had a fun day out there just trying some different stuff. Then we went eating and took it easy for the rest of the day. We did our Washing. It was Robbys turn to wash the filters. … then it was bed and sleep.

Take care all and speak to you 2morrow…


Day 23:

Hello friends,
I’ts been a good day, We went to breakfast with Tony and Mike and off to the track. It was the same one as yesterday and it was a GOOOOD training day. We did 2 motors today in race format. Joe Oelhoff (450 Suzuki) Robby, Mike and Myself. All started at once. Ok the 250 were 2 bike lengths out front. It was awesome training and we went to get a bite to eat then back 2 the hotel. That’s were we still are. Just kicking back and relaxing. Nearly time for supper And BED =)
We are going to the same track tomorrow again but we wont ride all that much because we have hard days riding in Glen Helen on Thursday.

Day 22

Hello friends. We allowed our self’s to sleep a bit longer. We were a bit tired from the racing yesterday.Then we went down and had a big breakfast and off we went.
We went to a track that was almost perfect to ride on today because of the rain we had.The track was really rough and Robb and I did more than a lot of riding. We met 2 people out there who were over 60 and still riding bikes J they had designed there own bikes and were enjoying there day out riding. Here is a picture, check the white beard. We also went for a trail ride when we were finished. It’s a huge area where we go riding and it offers perfect trail riding grounds and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Here are some pictures of the track.
Then we got our bikes ready for tomorrow and went to get some thing to eat. We ate a lot … It was a lot ……… Its pay 8$ and eat as much as you can, here are a few pictures.
Then it was back to our HOME and shower and sleep.
Ohhh man, ich kann mein Bett schon hören, wie es ruft nach mir!

Day 21:

Training was supposed to start at 8h00. The event was held at RACE TOWN and was sponsored by the UA-Army. We had 3 practises and 2 races. There was a young Rider there called Robert Memoli, who was riding real fast.

  • Race 1

I was second off the gate and was fastest on the track but to get by I had to get aggressive. I didn’t want that not at a race like that. I followed him and watch his riding style. The Americans ride differently 2 the Europeans and it was interesting watching him. The are fast on flat corners but need to learn about the ruts. I was second by half a second….

  • Race 2

I new I had to get off the line quick. No 2nd place starts any more. I hole shotted and pushed hard for the first 3 laps opening a gab of about 3 sec. I was riding well and in a race situation I must say that I was getting used to my 450. I was throwing it around corners. It was a good race and I won. I’m Glad that it went well. I am feeling good on my bike. The two 25 minutes went well and I wasn’t tired at all.
So all in all it was a good day …..
We went Home (our Holiday Inn) showered and went for a good meal at a local “Road house” restaurant. They have good food there. When you sit down your given a small bucket of peanuts ,the whole is covered. Then of cause it was back into the Jacuzzi.
We are Going riding at one of our tracks tomorrow but it sounds like its going to get real cold.  BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Day 20:

We were up pretty early. I spent a lot of time on the net. We then went to Chaparral to get some things for our bikes and we saw a factory mini bike.
Then we had brunch and drove off to a car wash. We prepped our bikes there. Robby changed His back tire and I oiled all our air filters…We got the bikes ready for Racing. It started getting pretty chilly and it was about 5c on the way back to the Hotel. Just before we decided to go to sleep, we looked out the window and watched the sleet rain come down…
Hmm we had to be at the track by 7h00.

Day 19:

Today was our day off... We were both pretty tired from riding this week and on Friday we did as little as possible. We went into Hesperia and did some shopping. I needed some things, then we went to a special shop where you pay 8 $ and you can eat as much as you want. There is a Pizza area where you can choose what you want. A paste area,a area with fries and potatoes  and of cause an area for dessert …. It was a mistake letting us in!!! We ate our self’s into a coma. In fact we almost rolled out ….
Then we went to be fat and happy.


Day 18:

This morning we were up early and off to meet Mike and Tony for breakfast. Then we drove down to Glen Helen. The track this time was awesome to ride this morning. Compared to what we have been riding it was really flat and fast. We had a ball... I destroyed a back wheel.. oh, well I did three moto’s today and the track was getting a bit rougher.
We were pretty tired afterwards and both were looking forward to supper and bed. Robby had a ride on my 450 and he enjoyed it.
Here are some pictures of the track and Robby after practice snooze. :-)
After we came back and showered and got dressed we went down to a food shop where you pay 9 $ and we could eat as much, Pizza, Noodles, desserts ect ect.
We left there so full that we were nearly sick ...oooohhhhhhh
Now its bed time again and tomorrow its our day off yes please sleep ;-)

Day 17:

This morning we met up with Mike and Tony at Denny’s for breakfast. We had a huge breakfast (actually way to much for the riding we were about to do).
Then we followed Mike to another one of his secret tracks. It was gnarly. Pretty slick and sandy mixed. It was rough and rooted in place … in other words another perfect training track J. I had some things to do to my bike and Robby and Mike warmed them self’s up. By the time I was ready they had nearly done there first 35min. So I was alone on the track riding when they stopped. I did my moto and was busy having a drink when Tony came up and asked if I was ready for round 2. ahhhh ok… Thedy had done two laps already when I went back onto the track and after 27 min I stopped and they did there 35 min again J Go boys…
It was food time then and off we went to Big Boy and had lunch. We went out to Mikes place and saw where he lived. Then it was back to the hotel. Jacuzzi time  and after that we did our washing again… To night we are going to an old friend of mine Ian Harrison and his Family. I’m really looking for ward to seeing them again.
As you can all see we really don’t have much time for any thing except training and sleeping. But we are enjoying our riding a lot.

Take care all and speak to you 2morrow…  


Day 16:

This morning we got up really early and went done to Dennys where we met Mike and his Dad. We had a quick breakfast and off we went. We drove a secret track that Mike rides on and it was perfect. It was as rough as hell and 3min15 long It was a single wash board and perfect for training. Mike was testing some things. I did a few Moto’s on it and was please about my riding. We loaded up our bikes and went to wash them. I had a puncture just before we left and we fixed it at the wash. We then went to a small shopping mall and bought some things we needed to do the air filters ect ect.
After eating we drove back to the our Hotel and washed the filters in the parking lot :=)
Tomorrow we are going riding with Mike again and I’m looking forward to that. It was Jacuzzi time again And shower now I’ve just finished my last few things and it’s Dream time...

Day 15:

We got up late and went and had Breakfast / Brunch. Then we drove down to Langston racing (15 min away) and left some baggage there. Then we went to the MX Park at Lake Elsinor and that was fun today. The track as I’ve said before is almost an out door SX track with some pretty big jumps in it. A few timing sections and whoops. I did a few motors there and enjoyed every lap. They have a Sky diving team there and I`m playing with the idea of doing a jump …. Hmmmm Then we drove back up to Apple Valley. And bumped into Mike, Jeff and Tony (Alessi). We will go riding with them 2morrow.

Day 14:

We woke up and got ourselves dressed. We still couldn’t  stop talking about the race. We drove down to Sea World. It was a hot day and we walked around Sea World and enjoyed all the shows and animals there. It was worth the trip and I’ve got some pictures here to show u. In the evening we drove up to my friends house, Collin Hinks and he’s Girlfriend Steffi, along the beach road and we watched the sun go . Colin works at Langston racing and it was good seeing him again. He has come along way in his life and I’m really happy for him.
We had supper and chatted until late.

Day 13:

We woke up to a wonderful Sunny day with a 100% blue sky!!!! It was Big Boy time again J what a way to start the day. Filled up our truck and away we were on the way. The drive down to San Diego took us about 2 hours. We checked into a super hotel had some food and drove out to the stadium. We were pretty early and it was an interesting sight driving through the parking Lot. Its called tail gating, every one just drives in opens the doors of there cars, music playing having a BBQ with friends it was fun to see. We went straight to the ticket counter and got ourselves some for the night. We found our seats but decided to look around a bit. We had a really good place to sit and funny enough just behind us in a booth Casy Johnson was sitting and we got talking. It was good seeing him again and at he moment he is testing bikes for different company’s. Then I saw my friend Greg Albertyn:o) He was out riding on Thursday at Glen Helen he said. We spoke about how quick the RC and JS are riding at the moment and he said he is happy not having to be trying to go that speed, and I tell you what I agree fully. He is a very successful business man and is involved in developing houses. Gooo Greg! He was successful in his racing and he has carried it across into his Business. I also bumped into the legend Rick Johnson and here is a pic.
The racing in San Diego was awesome. The main event in both classes had us on our feet. Not only us but the other 69 500 spectators. In the 125 class Mike had the best start again and he rode a really good race. He was consistent fast and only the last 5 laps he let off a bit. He is some one to watch in the future!!! Wait till he gets a bit stronger… Grant hat a really good ride too. He crashed in the first corner and came from last to finish a half a sec behind the first place rider Andrew Short… In the 250 main event the racing was extremely nerve racking. RC was out front and JS was second after the first corner. The battle raged for the whole 18 laps. Until the last 2 laps when James snuck inside of RC and the race was run. They played Cat and Mouse the whole race. It looked like JS was quicker and he was just biding he’s time…
What a race….
We went back to our hotel and couldn’t hardly sleep because we were so worked up about the race..

Eventually I was in bed dreaming …


Day 12:

Hallo,
We woke up at 7h45 and went down for breakfast. After that we did our washing here is a picture of Robby putting his washing in. It took us about 2h to get it all done and then we went off to Race Town. Now that’s a good Track. It was a lot of fun today and we did a lot of riding. Its good to see Robby’s Speed has gone up a notch and he was flying to day. We rode until it was quite late and eventually I had to almost pull Robby off his bike it was pretty dark. We were off to get some supper. Then it was back into the Jacuzzi for 10 min and shower and bed…..
Tomorrow we are off to San Diago SX Ohh Yes


Hallo Fans!

Day 11:

This morning we woke up a bit later than normal. Every day its getting a bit harder to wake up because of all the riding we are doing. It was down to Breakfast at Big Boy. It’s a awesome place to eat. After we stuffed our stomach we were off to the notorious Glen Helen race way. It wasn’t as we expected It was pretty hard and dusty. In fact I can say it was the worst track we have been to since we got here ???? I’m sure its perfect for the Nationals but it wasn’t to day. My Hands are starting to hurt because of all the riding we are doing. If I lived here I would have to make my suspension a lot harder because of the jumps. They are a lot of fun and big. But the tracks are built perfectly. They build them with experience, what I’m trying to say is you know if u hit the jump in 4th gear flat out you get over it.
I met an old Norwegian mx-friend of mine there. He told me an interesting story:
He had about 12 young people there and with them was a school teacher and trainer. What happens there is the government pays half the price, There federation pays 25 % and the students them self pay 25% which makes out to be, for the bikes, transport, Food and hotel costs about 1400 €. They get there schooling done and train. Now….Couldn’t our Federation learn something by that !!!!!! Its frustrating to see what happens and what support the younger riders get in other Countries compared to us.….
We prepared our bikes washed them down and put new air filters in. Then we drove down to Chaparral shop and bought some things we needed. Todd was there and we said hi. He has helped us a lot while we have been here and we do appreciate it, Thanks Todd
Then it was back up Apple Valley and it was food time again.
Now its bed time ooohhh yeessss please my pillow is shouting for me!

Day 10:

This Morning it was difficult to get out  of bed ;-) we went and had breakfast. Then we were off to Silent Sport Kerry Bryant who received some Pipes for me to test here. Thanks Kerry. After we collected our stuff we went down to Langston Racing  and I got a harder back shock spring for my bike and put it on. We were off to Perris Raceway. It was open until 21h00 … That was strange because here its only light until 18h00. We did quite a lot of riding then it was twilight and the lights went on J it was a floodlight track… After we were finished we drove home (holiday Inn) just across the road there is a really good food shop and we stopped in for a bite to eat.
The weather here is Awesome and we are loving it…. It was shorts and T-Shirt weather here 2 day.

Day 9:

This morning we woke up and rushed down to big boy and had a huge breakfast. We went out to a track just down the road called Competitive edge . It has 3 big tracks . A very good SX track and two MX tracks that are awesome to ride. We spoke to Tony Alessi (Jeff’s and Mikes dad) and they were going to train there. Every body was there. Mike Alessi (who was 3rd last week and getting stronger every weekend), Grant Langston (fresh off his win last weekend in Anaheim), Brett Metcalf 5th last week, Saun Hamblin, ect ect. Normally the MX tracks were closed. The one track was been used by Suzuki Test division and was closed, But the other one had been raced on and they said it was destroyed and they didn’t think that we would want to ride on it. We are here to train and we were extremely happy to go and train on it. It was pretty destroyed but we had a really good day. I have a picture of it (and of my slave making it wet ok while I oiled his new filters). We got back and were about to go and get some food when Tony walked in and asked if we wanted to go and get some thing to eat with them. We went out to a Steak  house and it was a fun meal. Jeff and Mike are 2 completely different people, very fast, but different personalities. We drove to a shopping center and we bought some things we needed Like a 32 spanner for the wheels ..


Day 8:

Today we got up and went off to Oakley... It took forever because there was a huge raging fire.So we got to Oakley 1h30 min later. We were met by mike and he took us up to Pat and there it was. My Package full of nice things Then Robby went down and he could bye some things there for an extremely good Price .-) Any way after about 1 hour we both walked out smiling. Thanks Pat! Next stop was Kawasaki. I needed some spare parts and Kurt met us at the door with them. Thanks Kurt! Then we drove down past Newport beach just to have a look. Here are some Pictures of Oakley (is the most amazing building. It has a full blown Basketball court. An amphitheatre ect ect) If u ever have the possibility its worth going there. Newport beach ect It took us forever to get back. But hey home sweet home (Holiday in Express) The best part is that were we are staying its 1300 meters above sea level…
Two morrow we are off training again yes please… take care all

Day 7:

We tried to sleep late but that still doesn’t work although we got to 8h30.... We hang about and surfed on the Internet. We then went and had Brunch. After lunch We went To another track just down the road and that was also a very nice surprise The tracks here are all amazing. We rode until we were just dead tired. Robby went for a ride on my 450 and was going real fast ... Go Robby. Every day we have on our bikes helps a lot. On the way back to our Hotel we stopped at a Supermarket and bought some food. Ist dificult here finding Healthy Food ... Gees oh yes and did I mention try and find just normal Milk... Oh well. We came back ,cooked, ate showered. It about time to go go to bed. Tomorrow we have a tour of the Oakley facility and we are really looking forward to it.

Day 6:

We woke up and had a huge Breakfast  :-) Then we bought some water and went off to a track called Competitive Edge. Ist just 10 min from our Hotel. It was a lot of fun ... Perfect conditions. The track never had any dust it was amazing. We met Chris Mökli from Austria. We did a lot riding and it was awesome. Then we rushed home and showered got ready and off we went to Anaheim 3. We were all worked up. This was going to be an experience you don’t have very often. We got there parked and walked the 600 meters to the stadium. While we were walking along the fence we saw Mike Fischer at the Kawasaki Truck and he gave us two tickets to get in Thanks Mike. We waked into the pits and there were huge trucks and Vans parked every where. The first person I bumped into was Mike Healy who I haven’t seen for along time. Then I saw Ian Harrison R+D at suzuki  USA who I hadn’t seen for years..... Then I bumbed into Tom Carson And Mike Beier who used to race indoor-cross in Germany. Then it was Greg Albertyn and and and.. De Reuver, Gorden Crockert  oh man it was awesome. We had good seating and The atmosphere was just crazy. I had Goose Bumps . It was the first time I had seen James Bubba Ride. That was an interesting experience. The top 3 riders are extremly fast. Wow... The 125 class was a good race but Grant dominated goooo Grant. Mike Alessi had a very good ride too, 3rd place and Brett was 5th. I do like his riding style.
We had a good time and I must say to see a Stadium full of People ,about 45 000 of them, all MX and SX fanatics was something that you'll never forget. The racing was good and it was a well worth evening. Thanks again Mike.
We drove home lost in our own thoughts.... Of cause we needed food again. Then we were in our bed and it was dream time.....


Hi! Today we left 4 the USA. I woke up feeling pretty nervous.. It was difficult saying good by to Jeremy and Vanessa over the phone !!!! I picked Robbie up at the Hauptbahnhof Train station and we drove to the airport with our 1000000 bags of luggage :-) I had my Suspension from Hubi (HH-RaceTech) with me. We were nearly the first people to check in and we got pretty good seats.The only thing was the plane was 2 hours delayed so we had some lunch and walked around a bit. Did some shopping and bought some things for our Ipods :o) Eventually we were able to board. We were flying across with air India. The plane was a 747. It was old and abused gees.Oh well. The service was good and so was the food.

Day 5:

To day we went across the road for Breakfast. It's awesome. As much as you can eat for 5€ and believe me it a big variety of things from pancake fruit eggs oh yyummmy. Then we went to Chaparral again to see if we could Pick up Robby's bike. It took a long time but we went out with Robby’s bike :-) I think Todd was happy to see us go ;-) Just kidding Todd and thanks again. We drove down to Langston Racing where my Friend Colin Hinks is working. It was about 1 hour South from Chaparral. It was good seeing him again. It’s been a while but he hasn’t changed. We were able to put my Suspension in and just 3 min away was a huge MX Park Lake Ellsinore it was so much fun to ride again. The track was like a huge  out door SX-Track full of timing sections and huge jumps... Just the way I like it ;-))))) I did what I thought was a lot of riding but looking into my tank there was still a lot in. They have the bike jetted for 87 Octane fuel so the bike hardly uses any. It was a really good day. Being back on the bike was really good... Had some food and 2 happy boys drove home.
Got back to the HOTEL jumped into the Whirlpool now back in bed and ready for sleep soon
Going riding in the morning :-)

Day 4:

I was up at about 5hoo, then I lay around and hardly slept to 7hoo. We then proceeded down to Chaparral shop to bye Robby's bike but after some time we could only get the bike tomorrow due to American express but that’s ok. Todd helped us a lot and here thanks for his patience. We then went to Glenn Helen to ride but the were closed after 13h00 so we only phoned up Oakley and made an appointment. We then proceeded down to Oakley. It was awesome... Pat helped us out a lot and we walked out very impressed (and with a really cool package) And that was nearly our day.. Oh yes with grid lock it took us 1h20 min back gees....

Day 3:

To day we got up about 7h00 Had a breakfast down stairs and were ready for the day. We went to go and get a Telephone card but it as nearly 50 min away in a big Shopping area. We spent some time walking around and looking into the shops. We had lunch there then drove back home. I bought a FM sender for my IPOD which means I can set the gadget to a fm frequency and it playes over the radio. We then went training down stair where I stepped for more than a minute . We r getting used to the time difference. And then we went and had supper. I had a Spare Ribbs and steak combo yyyuummyyy.

Then bed....

Day 2:

We got to the Airport at 18h30. It was a long flight but ok. Robby and I rented a car and we were off to Apple Valley. We had a huge breakfast in the morning and we were both full. We wanted to bye some stuff but all the shops were closed at time in the morning. Next we went off to the SX track about 10 min from where we are staying. It was amazing to see what awaited us when we got there ... It was an awesome MX track...Out Doors an a extremely good SX-Track. I met a lot of friends there.Grant Langston , Brett Metcalf, Mike Brown and Mike Alessi Came out too. It was fun watching them all ride. The had some qualification races too. Tony Alessi gave us the keys of a car / van they had and Robby and I were off to Kawasaki USA. It was awesome walking around in the place :-) bubba`s bikes it was really good. Here I would like to take the time to Thank Mike Fischer for all there help !!! On the way back we went to Pro Circuit and Chaparral Shop. It was amazing how big Chaparral was !!!!! Mind blowing.. Then we past a electro-shop and I bought some stuff for my IPOD and an Adaptor for a plug. I’m in the hotel and I’m drop dead tired..
