    No kidding they are insane splitting lanes at that pace, plus wheelies between vehicles. Makes me sick tho that they can pull the wheel with a twist of the throttle. DOH!

    Yeah, I saw that on vfrdiscussion. Those guys give us all a bad name. That have some fun doing it, though. They really should get on a track for that stuff, though. It's obvious they had some resources with all the cameras they had. They should be able to afford track days.

    I'd love to go to a track day, but there aren't any tracks close by except KY Speedway and they dont have a road course. I really need to move.

    yeah, track days sound really cool. I'm really thinking of fixing the little 500 up like a track bike except keeping it legal on the street. I remember looking into the classes before and it seems if you stay below 600cc they are way less crowded. I prefer to go fast on a smaller bike that I can flick all over. I'm kind of heavy for a 500, but I think it's doable. Everyone used to ride the smaller bikes.
