Well guys just I signed up for a MotoAmerica account.
Paid $12.99 for 7 days of live coverage on what they call live+.
Coulda got the whole season for $109, but wanna see how this works.
They have a few ways to watch what they call MotoAmericaTV. But as usual I gotta look up my Apple password which I can’t find.
The live stream on my iPhone is working, it says it’s live anyway. Some Indian Bagger just blew up and laid a bunch of oil down the straight.
$12.99 to watch it live all weekend, eh, my real world goes on semi shutdown as of now.

Well guys, I ran my phone battery dead like 4 times today.
This Live+ thing is probally the best streaming Moto experience I've had.
The baggers thing.......they are having issues with them blowing up.
Both HD factory bikes blew up in today's race. (MotoAmerica runs each class twice every event. Friday and Saturday.). The first one smoked for a lap or 2. The second one went bang.
It seems both HD and Indian are really squeezing their racers, to the point of unreliability.
Roland Sands has a class named after him. The Hooligan Class I think it is. Pretty much naked bikes that do 160mph. Pretty cool really.
The 600 Class, I dunno what they were callin it. This is the alpha class. They ran 2 short qualifiers for tomorrow's 200. Herring, Hayes, no fooling around there.
Ducati has a strong team. So does Yamaha. They run The 200 tomorrow at 1pm.
They have a twins class. Aprilla won that going away. I do believe there were 2 women running that class.
After the races they held a pit stop compitition.
5 teams running The 200 took part.
There was $7,500 put up for the winner with the lowest time.
Each team was allowed 5 guys to take part.
They had to push the bike about 10 yards, to a simulated pit, with the rider entered sitting on it, stop, throw it on the stands, change both front and rear tires, take it off the stands and push it about 10 yards to a line where the times stopped.
2 teams did it in the mid 20s.
Ducati got disqualified when they left the socket on the rear wheel axel nut when they pushed it off to the finish line.
The Suzuki guys won it, I think with a time of 14.9.
