doug meyer
I hope i did not misspell your name!!
Just wanted to say that I was at the Texas Mile event over the weekend and got the pleasure of meeting you.
I haver read your name in motorcycle magazines since I have been reading motorcycle magazines.
I was so shocked to meet you I did not know what to say exactly. You are a super cool guy and very humble to be sure. You talked to me like I was an equal.
I talked to you for a few seconds while waiting to get to the prestage and I was honored to say the least.
Sorry the bike broke.
When i pulled over to see what was up you said " I'm fine, but the bike is hurt" I could tell you had done that same thing many times. To be honest i was happy as hell to go to your pit and tell them to come get you. to help someone like you was a true honor.
you are truely a hero of the sport of motorcycling.
You have a life well lived my friend.

You should have sat down with us at Camp TeamFatAss.
Things were a bit hectic with all the broken bikes, but we ALWAYS have beer and like to meet new folks.
You are right about Doug, Great! guy.

i would say --- There are 2 Man of the Year 2009 at the Texas Mile !
Karl + Doug !
Doug + Karl !
the two ZX12r Kawasaki Heros !
both did a verry great job !
and the BIG BIG point ----- both could get over 200mph -- with an 12 hours - build - spare - race engine !
thats for the Guiness World Record Book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
