Nothing like an Italian V-twin. Full Ohlins suspension. Had it dynoed at 121 HP at the rear wheel with no motor work. It's manical. The torque starts to peak at 6K. Wheelie machine

The front and rear stands are must for suspension work and tire changes. I don't know how people own a bike without them.

It's a blast at the track. I go as often as I can afford tires

996gurl: We registered about three months in advance to get the spots at barber. They ususally fill up pretty quickly. I think his school does come closer to FL, but Barber is supposed to be an awesome track.

Deputydog95 - I'll say it again: gorgeous bike & car! Are those Techart wheels? The Aprillias are amazing! But since I use my F4i daily, it's less of a worry with all the rampant bike theft than yours would be. I'm jealous nonetheless!

Is there a specific website for that particular Code meet? Is it one of his full courses, or just a track day? I'd like to check it out! Thanks for all the info!

Yes, I do ride and confess that weather permitting, I've been using the bile more than the C4S! How do you like your GS? We looked at it, but I found it to be so big it intimidated me!
I managed to get my picture in the sig using vb code. It's very easy. If you are amending your profile there is a little tutorial on it which you can get out by clicking on the vb code hyperlink on the left. If you can't figure it out then send me an IM.

I love my GS. I had an R1100GS before that and upgraded. I have always liked big trail bikes and had several of them but then as I am 6'2" I guess I have a bit of an advantage. That said, the GS is a pussycat to ride and goes, stops and handles far better than it would seem for such a big bike.

All the best!

Barry
