Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Sounds like an awesome ride tomorrow.  Wish I could make it.  Doing the Coleman Suzuki demo day, though.  (Want to check out the new GSXR-600 for a track bike).

I'll be out there too, got some work stuff to do in the morning that is unavoidable so a full day ride is out.  They say they will have 10-50% off on accesories.  If this means gear, I need a new jacket since my other one got trashed in the lowside depending how much they want to discount. 

GSXR-600 retails for 11,499 on the Suzuki site......when did these prices go so high???  I remember in 07 paying 7800.00 out the door for a CBR-600RR.  jeeeez for a Suck-zuki too

The prices have shot up over the past few years, but its also only in the past few years that 600s have gotten top spec suspension, brakes, etc.  They are no-longer semi-entry level bikes - the mfgs now rely on things like the 650 twins, the FZ6R, the recently departed ZZR600/previous gen ZX6, etc. imo its a positive move - a high revving, 100+ hp 4cyl screamer deserves top sbk spec suspension and brakes and shouldn't be considered a noob ride.  Plenty of cheap lightly used ones out there Evil

Also with the economy having gone to crap, left-over models are sometimes cheap too.

About 330 miles. We did it in 10 hours at ludicrous speed. Old Rt 55 is a hoot after Red Bull.

No incidents. Only 1 LEO. 7 stop lights. 6 stop signs. Facking epic. The secret is bypassing Harrisonburg. PM for the map link.

Any requests for Sunday? If none, I'm heading out early towards Staunton/Harrisonburg so I can ride 250/28/33. Would love some company.
