The first round of the World Grand Prix in Suzuka was quite an exciting experience for me. I was lucky enough to obtain pit passes from one of my good friends. I had the greatest time and met some famous racers, beautiful woman and had plenty of opportunities to see these awesome racing machines up close.

Rossi went on the win the race, which was the 500th victory for Honda in the World GP, plus Honda was also victorious in all the classes, winning the 125, 250 and 500 classes. It was a great day. The weather was nice, the beer was cold and the 40,000 plus Japanese fans were in a frenzy after Japanese riders won the 125 and 250 classes. What an experience !!
