You talking about this "ride at work" Don??? It'll do well over 500 mph!!!
And it's got some pretty radical lean angles too if you want to do it.

congrats! i've heard so much good lately about southern powersports that i'm considering giving them a call. great prices that they advertise and all. and a big thumbs up for the perfect scores in the class. i got a 100% on my writing test, but got 4 points on my riding exam (scoring might be different elsewhere but zero is perfect and anything up to 21 is passing.) i crossed a line on the figure 8 box (1 point) and my time in the 2 turn course was 3/10's of a second below what was expected. a point for every 1/10 second. so congrats and enjoy that beautiful new beast!

Sounds like the same scoring system we were under.

Yep, you'll really do well at Southern Power sports. Ask for Mike Kelly. He's really good at getting you out the door & their pricing cannot be beat.

Not yet. Probably will have to ride awhile before the right name comes.

May I'm grinnin from ear to ear!!! Just put about 40 more miles on her tonight. Went down some back roads, then out on to a state highway. Turned off into a new middle school parking lot & just practised all the manuevers I'd just refreshed on at MSF school. Figure 8s in a tight box, emergency stops, weaves & slolums, etc.

I also have started cranking her out just a bit (like up to 10 - 11,000 rpm in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. Man the speed is ADICTING!!!!!! I'm seeing what everyone likes here!!! [sm=gears.gif] [sm=signs007.gif]

Anyway, got home & wiped her down with Zaino #7 gloss enhancer spray. Stuff is MAGIC!!! I've already got 1 coat of Zaino wax on her & there's more to come.

Here's a couple of pictures after dark just before pulling into the garage.

NICE way to end a hectic week!!!

It's a beautiful thing, I remember my first night out with my baby. Just take it easy on the new tires, trust me I know. It got a little squirrelly on me a couple of times.

It looks like you are addicted to speed

Zaino is THE stuff to buy. I bought the complete kit and it does wonders.

Is that plane a Gulfstream? Geez, to have a life where you fly for work, then have the best toys to play on... (sigh)

Actually it's a Citation 560 XL. Yep, it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!!! Hard work pays off. That & being careful with your money - saving for things vs impulse buying.
