Jesse and I were playing Tourist Trophy (an excellent motorcycle video game) the other day, and discovered that there's a "Seattle" track. Intrigued, we tried it out. It's actually based somewhat on reality, if you took downtown and made a racetrack out of it. It's terrifyingly dangerous, full of sharp turns with no runoff area. We both crashed an inordinate number of times.

Anyway, I went back and revisited the track tonight on my favorite bike in the game, a possibly-fictitious 1994 Honda CB400SS. I took a couple of pictures:

If I race that CL175 next year, it won't look greatly different
from this 'CB400.'

Most
enjoyably, this track has both the Kingdome, and Qwest Field, which was
built over the uneasy grave of the Kingdome once it'd been
demolished.

I'm still impressed by Tourist Trophy's ability to take very realistic looking pictures of the action.
