it was fun while I had it, but I got sick of running from the cops, there's just too many around here. took a drive last night that's about 50-60 min and fondly recalled the time a bunch of us did it in about 15 minutes once on the bikes. I only had a 600 though, so my speeds were limited to generally 150-160 at redline (13,300) but once going down a big hill I got the speedometer to 170 with the rpms up at 15,500, but at that point I saw how far above redline I was and backed off, I didnt want to have a malfunction at that speed lest I wind up hamburger.
crazy early 20s grins
I also remember feeling the heat from the road on my knee going 75 through a 25-30mph turn
I didnt have any gear aside from a helmet I wore once in a blue moon, usually when going out of state since all the bordering states have helmet laws.
now I drive a nice slow truck and my insurance rates are great :smile:
fun fun fun times though, great pics. I never wound up having the opportunity to get on a track.
