For this year's Yamaha R1/R6 East Coast Convention my cabin sat adjacent the Fontana Community Church on the grounds of Fontana Village Resort.

One reason long-time Forum member Mike Coakely proposed to Lana Luppinetti must be her congenial temperament. Any woman who can stand at the altar and laugh each time the minister addresses her by the wrong name has to possess an easy-going disposition. That she agreed to be married during... [Read More]

It wasn't quite a romantic stroll, by the Seine but there was definitely something memorable about MotoGP World Champion, Fiat Yamaha's Valentino Rossi's first blast past the Eiffel tower and Champs-Elysees with an YZF-R1. The Italian was taking in the tourist hot-spots of Paris ahead of pushing for his 99th career victory this weekend at Le Mans.
Rossi was the draw for hundreds of MotoGP fans and curious onlookers as the 30 year old carefully steered a special edition Monster Energy- livered R1 by the Arc de Triomphe, through nearby streets to a press conference and then - despite the rain - managed... [Read More]
