Have you done any long distance touring yet? I really used to enjoy that a lot and I am sure you would get a kick out of it too. Dont let anyone tell you the 500 isnt enough bike to do it as you know how far and wide I went on my old 550.

i passed someone on a cbr600 f4i coming out of a series of corner yesterday (and an instructor on a EX500 was passing EVERYONE) so i am more than convinced 500cc is enough bike...

i don't know.. i wonder if i WOULD like long distance touring.. scraping up the lower fairing and the footpegs at the track was a whole lot more fun for me than the 2hr ride in a straight line to the track.. i think i would go bonkers anything more than 4hrs in one shot. maybe my perspective will change when i get on a more interesting (some combo of technical/scenic) road and not a straight interstate...

this club didn't allow vid cameras. the thinking is that people are more likely to ride over their heads when the film is rolling. i don't think that's a bad idea since at least 3 people dropped that day.. one badly enough to require an ambulance ride

^^Then they're technically over their heads at that point anyways?

Anyways, it's good to hear you're having a good time out there.

yea if you drop that definitely means you were riding way way over your head...

believe it or not i was scared for the whole day.. i never went faster than 90mph on the straight since there was heavy braking down to around 40mph and a huge ass wall at the end!!! :ph34r:
