Personally I do - but most of you know that.

I know Moo does because he's worse than me and has a 500 that will kick most 750's butts.

Jim, you're almost bad as me.

H1Pete - You just like to blow up motors.

Mark, you like the smaller triples and you still scare me.

RB, never met ya but we've talked. A class on your own man - no doubt.

Keep it going.

Moo 5 years ago (he's worse now).... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9SLYt4i4gM&feature=related

It's hard to compare, since we really haven't ridden much together. My last trip to the Post Office continued with a nice ripping fun ride around the twistiest roads around here, ending with the surprise spasm of my right hand, producing the nice wheelie and 70 mph 2nd gear run I mentioned recently. Darned spasms.

That needle in the tach is supposed to be aimed right at that red line area, in high gear, shouldn't it! That's where I put it. It's just a simple twist of the wrist.

Don't forget Jay the maniacal, and little Dave the scraper!
