apparently with creamsicles for propellers

Think that'd really cut down on the flight time
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Saw a handful in Daytona.....240 rear tire stock :o.  Normally not a fan, but it fits the bike well.

The hand behind the back was kind of lame...

I would eye ball it at 140mph  ;D  They should have had a 620 running next to it as a reference  ;D   ;D

geee...kinda like the flattrackers do when racing the mile?

The left hand goes up to the left side of the tank behind the number plate, needs to be right there next to the left side of the handle bar in case the front end starts doing something weird and it's easier to move your hand to the bar when setting up for the turn without upsetting the bike.
