Yesterday at Laguna Seca, my family was given a private meeting with Vale courtesy of Bob Starr of Yamaha US! It is through Bob that we are also attending the very exclusive party. Here is a pic of Riley and Rossi! Riley is over the moon and so are we!

I will post the story of how all of this happened but for right now I can just say that we are some of the happiest Rossi fans in Monterey right now! 5 yrs of trying to meet him and we finally do and not just as he is running through the paddock!

The party was AMAZING! Bob Starr also made sure that Riley got to meet Vale again and give him the stuffed Turtle that he made at Build A Bear. We will post pics tomorrow but wow, it may take plastic surgery to remove the smile on our faces!

Vale was so gracious and friendly to Riley. Truly one a Champion to the core! None of us will ever forget this and just the amazing way that the entire Yamaha staff treated us. I will post more pics this evening with a recap of todays track action.

WOW how lucky are you!
What a great experience it must have been....BTW who's Bob Starr?? Never heard of him here, well I haven't anyway.

Bob Starr is the Head of Yamaha US. Mainly the AMA Teams but honestly, the guy could not have been more helpful and instrumental in getting Riley to meet Rossi. Riley also spoke with Davide Brivio and told him that it was good that Rossi was staying Yamaha. LOL
