well i set of at 7.0 am ,it was only 66 degrees and a bit misty, wearing a mesh jacket over a t-shirt, (its texas it will be 80 by 9 oclock.)well that didnt happen .
got to my new buddies place about 45 miles away and after some initial banter, he starts up ONE of his RZ500s (his track bike).
sounds great, "do you want a quick ride on it" he says.
does a bear pooh in the woods, hell yes.
well it wasnt the acceleration that surprised me(good it is) it was the brakes (R1 blue spot) .
so to cut a long story short he toke his ducati monster and phill had his triumph speed triple.
a good ways into the ride the duc started cutting out intermittently, and ended up being trailored home.
and one of the harleys needed a jump start after a comfort stop.

but my LC kept up with the big boys there and back 200 + miles.
so all good in my book.
cheers mark
