anybody got any nice rides planned this summer
I plan on getting up to maine this july and riding on highway one...looking for some lobster rolls and lighthouses.my wife likes to collect rocks from every where we go. it should be fun seeing how many she can get home.its about a six hour drive for me to get there and Im hoping to get 45 to 50 mpg if I dont push it or get stuck with 300 pounds of rocks on the way home

Well if gas ever stops going up plan on going to cape Breton n.s. for the thunder in the highlands bike festival. Awesum roads over there and the Cabot trail is something else.

Planning on riding down to West Palm from to hang out with some friends for a week or 2.... Did that several years ago on my FJ1100. I have to imagine on the 14 it will be much more comfortable!

Yes i had a 1985 vmax new .. That bike was fast for the day ..My best ever pass was a 10.92 .. I really loved that bike .. Think about that Vmax making 145 at the crank and the new zx14r making 216 at the tire ! Makes you wonder what the next 25 years will bring ..
