Wonder if I'll get the V6 pegged on the longer section? :ph34r:

Damn... and I've been trying to lose weight for the past three months :lol:
Seriously though, at least the weather looks to be decent to the point where the Steeda SRI won't get bogged by heatsoak on that climb.

Do what I did ... convince your instructor to sign you off for solo ... instant 200 lbs weight loss ... gave me an extra 5 kph at the top of the straight - no lie.

:lol: you and I both know that ain't happening Ken, not this year and maybe not ever (I mean I could see other drivers being leery of someone who can't use hand signals at all and having to use his turn signals driving solo, I can respect that)
Besides if I get last years instructor again, he's one of the smallest instructors there IIRC
