    You're not kidding, gas and coffee?? That guy definitely made our christmas card list!! :thumbsup: 116 is such a great road, I'm sure we'll be up there very often. Looks like Sunset Garage is our new regular breakfast stop.

    Well I set my new top speed on the Ducati with you nutjobs of 173mph... :crazy:

    I'm bringing a passenger next time so I won't be tempted to run so fast...

    I'm appalled and disappointed, I don't think we can ride with you again.

    I mean, you couldn't get 185?! :biggrin:

    We might need to explore the top speed of the 6th Gen VFR and get some concrete numbers :wink:

    I haven't cracked 140 :frown:

    Not sure, I'd say 130's is the hightest I've had it. It had more, but I'd need quite a bit of space to get those last few out of her

    I still can't stop thinking of that kid on the 250. I paced him on the hwy at 95mph or so while we were heading to the twisties. I was waiting for the piston to blow right out of it and nail him in the nuts.

    Hey Chris / Kev and anyone else....... I'm headed to the Porsche Club Race at Lime Rock this Saturday. I'll be leaving around 0900hrs from my house. If anybody wants to join give me a call 860 849-3421, I'll check back here for any PMs or posts as well. I'm just going up for the ride and to watch maybe meet my Uncle from NJ there on his K1300. Ride is approx. 1hr 15min admission is free just sign the waiver on the way in lots of great fast Porsches and amatuer racers. Good stuff! Should be 70 deg and partly sunny good day for a ride.

    Sounds awesome man, I'd love to head up there. Let me run it by the boss to make sure I'm in the clear and I'll touch base with you. I'll shoot Kevin a text too to make sure he sees this. Maybe some others can chime in too and we can get a group of us to go.

    You're not going to bring the Porsche though? She's going to be jealous if you go to the track and leave her behind lol

    That does sound sweet! I hate to turn down the first call to ride this year but I'm scheduled to do the "Ronnies Ride" on Sunday and can't do both.
    Sucks because the weather is supposed to be nice on Saturday and rain on Sunday.
    We need to start organizing some rides for this year.
    Have fun.

    Technically there have been a bunch of days we should have hooked to ride already this year!! Damn we're lazy!

    I had the ole girl at Lime Rock last week but I had technical failure that will have me sidelined until Watkins Glen in June :-(

    Saturday a.m. I have a load of stone being delivered and as soon as the Mrs. gets back from the gym, I'm planning to go. As mentioned, should be around 0900hrs. Anybody who wants to come call me at 860 849-3421 or PM me for my address.

    Yesterday's ride was great all around!! Perfect weather and one of my favorite destinations!! Lime Rock Park for the 2010 Porsche Club race. My uncle and cousin met Chris and myself out there on their BMW K1300 and Ducati 848 respectively. Lunch at Toymakers in Falls Village, a popular biker destination only 6 miles from the track. I can't wait for the next ride. Maybe out to the Vanilla Bean for Lunch and some NE CT country roads?!?!

    You didn't happen to pass by the reservoir in Barkhamsted did you? Saw a RWB and a Red VFR on Saturday around 10am I think.
