The last weekend of Laguna Seca Moto GP 2009 round saw the return of King Kenny Roberts, who did a couple of demonstration laps on his 1980 YZR500 with the same enthusiasm and dedication. The former World Champion also took the Yamaha TZ750 out on track at the 2009 AMA Lucas Oil Indy Mile Grand National race in Indianapolis and treated fans with a special appearance without prior practice. He was moved by the ride and felt like riding in 1975.Kenny delighted those present by riding the machine at the Indy Mile and was congratulated afterwards by current Moto GP star Valentino Rossi.
