I don't want to break in land speed records. I would like to ride it a few times so one day I could take it at a fair rate of speed. Frist thing for me is to learn what corners are further coming. LOL

Yeah, I don't think I will be trying to keep up with you Rus. I was feeling pretty good there last year, and then on my 9th pass, some gap regulars blitzed by me so I thought I'd tag along. That lasted until the first turn we came to. I was leanded over so far that my muffler, brake pedal and kickstand were scraping and I still ran wide into the other lane and almost off the road. From then on and from now on I will ride with how I feel comfortable and meet up with you and Darren at the overlook/Crossroads. No sense wadding your bike trying to keep up with someone that you won't be able to anyways.
The trip sounds awesome, especially if we can get a few people from group to go as well. I'll ride my bike so I don't need any trailer space. Damn, I wish May was the next month after Feb.
