just stumbled across this thread.
I'll be following Knight and do not plan on having any thought of my own for about a week just blindly following.
So if we miss you for any reason it's his fault.

Oh yes, going I am.  Bought that 999 just for it (well, not really....but I justified it that way )

Would be great to truck/trailer it up at least past the super slab....The ST wasn't too bad on the slab....this SBK?  Dear god that is torture....

SOMEONE had PM'd me about coming from the south and trailering up.  I can't find your PM and didn't hear back from you before....please send me another one if you're still going

Taft-
That was me.  Unfortunately my company rescheduled our quarterly management meeting from the 6 & 7th to the 13 & 14th.    I've been pouting around the house and gazingly longingly into the Monster's big, sad, disappointed headlight since wed. last week.  So I'm out for the trip.   The reschedule totally hosed me for some good riding this month. 

If anybody is thinking of doing it again next month post up!  I try to do a mountain trip every month during the summer.

Always another time bro.  Just lemme know when and where.

Looking forward to meeting whomever is going.  I won't have the s4r done, but will be on that 999 I posted pics of.

Killboy makin' me look somewhat good on day one....







Actually, the first day I felt some bad ju-ju.  Hyper rider went down 3 turns into the ride, ST got hit by a harley, etc..
I blew a corner in the dragon, and then packed it in.  After a nap, I felt like a new person, and went out/attacked it fairly good.  The bridgestone Q2's were awesome, never giving a hint of squirming at all at somewhat sane street speeds.  

Bill69 came with as well, andl is quite a good rider (came with on his S2r).  He has a level of maturity that I wish I had!  Lots of fun was had by all.  

Second day here (sat) was awesome.  Started with a local guy leading us on a very tight set of twisties.  I experianced my first "unsettleing" moment hitting some bumps mid-corner, but the wsbk ohlins soaked it up well and I continued on unfazed.   Later, we would encounter torrential downpour, good mexican food and company.  Riding home one in our group ended up with a cut tire, and a resque/recovery mission ensued.  We ate, drank, and now I'm headed off to bed.  Riding back early to try and beat the rain home.

We'll be doing this again next year, but hopefully we won't have to wait that long!

Thanks for the report.  Glad everybody had fun.  The pucker moments and impromptu "rescue" are all part of the fun.  Next time I'm in!
