The guy driving the ZL 1 Camero drives like a girl only got to 203.9. He let a Caddy outrun him!

Now let's see what the DPS cars will do....

Re: New Meet Spot in Austin - Hot Rod Coffee Trailer

Here's the ride report on ADVrider I was talking about at lunch, from South Africa to Norway on a KTM 690R and a BMW F800GS: 25,000 miles with Luke and Nick. It's a great read!

Um, didn't Chuck Berry get outrun by a Caddy? He was driving a V8 Ford that couldn't keep up... that is until it started to rain.

Once I get up to 160mph my bike runs out so if a guy that goes basically 204mph drives like a girl what would I be for being 44mph slower? Last place, I guess.

A guy in a Ferrari was clocked doing 130-something and stopped by a Dodge Charger patrol car (I heard it on the radio). He said he wasn't paying attention.

A.D.D I guess. Perhaps he was transfixed on the paddle shifters.
Or his Italian loafers.

I can't even imagine what insurance on that must run, but I hope to see it some Thursday at Ken's.

Motorcyclist's comparo article calls even the most current version of the F4 dated (also cramped for tall riders). The new F3 as well didn't measure up against the Triumph 675R. Too bad as the're both great looking machines.

Stay loyal to your current brand and hold out for an S1000RR or HP4.

See yall tomorrow.
