Merry Christmas from Kevin Schwantz, Suzuki, IMS and Stu's Shots!!

Shortly after the Indy MotoGP round back at the end of August, Kevin Schwantz 'loaned'

the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum one of THE very bikes that he won the '93

World 500cc Championship with. As the story goes, thanks to the fine folks at

http://www.cycleworld.com/, Suzuki had presented this one to #34 after he had won the

championship. After some work done by one of his former mechanics, the bike was

ready to go again for his demonstration laps on August 30th. Sometime just after having

completed those demo laps, the bike went into the museum at the speedway, and has

been on display there since.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get some shots of that very bike this week, and wanted

to post some of those today and in the near future. Looking at was then over a million dollar

motorcycle was awe inspiring, and being able to behold the craftsmanship and details of this

sweet piece was very fulfilling and an honor.

You can read the official story from CW below, and I tossed in some other significant links to

this post from the great folks at http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/ that will take you to the speedway information homepage, the official stats of Mr. Kevin Schwantz' career thanks to the

great people at http://www.motogp.com/ and the official link to the official website of the '93 World

Champion himself, http://www.kevin-schwantz.com/. You can read up below!

I wanted to share this with you today and to wish you a VERY Merry Christmas and a VERY

Happy New Year as well. Thanks to all for taking the time to come by and check out Stu's

Shots as it is a work in progress, but it has also been a boatload of fun to put together. And to share this stuff with the masses is to share our stories, our love of the sport, and to pass on

to others, as in life, what you have learned and gained from as you enjoy another moment. We

all know that some of this great pashion that we share in this great sport of 2 wheel racing is like a drug but we also know that it is what keeps the adrenaline flowing and gets us through our 'normal' life until the next horsepower and speed event comes around to give us another thrill.

God Bless to all and have a SAFE and HAPPY Holiday! And enjoy!!
