I have to say, Eric Bostom has got to be one of the best racers on two wheels I've ever seen. I went to Laguna Seca over the weekend and just watching him come through the Corkscrew, he looked and sounded faster than anyone else. The guy just seems to push harder than anyone else. Nicky was actually running pretty close to him, but slowed partially due to traffic and I think because he settled for points. Watching the two bikes (zx7r and rc51) you could tell Bostom had less horsepower in the straights, he just pushed it through the corners more. By the way, walking through the parking lots served as a better bike show than any Cycle World show I've been to. I saw 5 MV Agusta F4's and two of them were Senna editions!! I also saw 2 R7's, one blue and one red!!! Incredible!!! I saw 3 B. Bostrom replicas and one custom that had the L&M scheme as well as 2 Bayliss 998s's and at the Ducati tent a MH900e. Heaven!!!!! Oh yeah, at the Suzuki tent there was a race Hayabusa that will compete in Formula Extreme next year. 1664cc with 250+ horsepower, an exadurated front fairing with 4 intakes. The weather was perfect (not hot, not really), if you've never been to Laguna, go there!!
