Rocket J!
Here is the hotel info. Make sure you tell them you're with the ZX-12 group to get the good rate. Are you any closer to being able to make it? It would be great to have someone to ride with from Cincinnati down there.

Good deal, let me know. The ride down I-75 though Kentucky and Tennessee is fun. Its about 250 miles, couple gas stops, no biggie.

Vaginal Orifice..That's hilarious Rocket, really though, what's the longest trip you've taken? Haven't you gone a full tank of gas before without stopping?

Surely you don't mean 140 miles?
Otis, the only thing that bothers me really, is my right wrist. Probably from being held in one position for so long.
See, I am left handed, and in my formative years, I never really strengthended my right wrist, since I only used my right hand to hold up the Lynda Carter poster, not to mas... Uh, never mind.
I really should get some Heli bars.
It should be OK.

I had those on my bike too, I had to tell the dealer what and how they worked when I traded it in on the FZ.

Got one
Throttlemeisters are great Rocket. You just rotate the right bar end back towards you when applying the throttle and it locks the throttle. When you roll off the gas it unlocks, but I always roll the bar end all the way forward to make sure no accidental throttle locking will happen. Very simple to use and works flawless. It takes a little practice to get used to it, but in time you'll develop a technique and it'll be easy as falling of a log.
I had them on my 11s, and before the Gap 2 event I put one on the 12. It's a great thing to have to give your right hand a break from time to time. I don't use it all the time, usually only to rest my hand. I got the polished one and I think it cost me around $115. Worth every penny IMHO.
