hey, Ken! It was great to meet you! (52.9 mpg! Are you sure you weren't tucked in behind a semi....truck that is!?!) I was sure glad you were hanging out with Mr. Bug, Sat. Mrs. Bug was concerned for a little while and we were all relived when you guys pulled in. Glad you got back home alright and look forward to future good times!

Glad you are home safe. Thanks for hanging out with Sonny on Saturday. You are a stand up guy.

About the gas mileage...Sonny hates being outdone, but it's good for him once in a while.

Great meeting you Ken ! Your bike sounds and looks awesome with those "shorties" and you are one helluva rider ! I saw that wheelie on the bridge after the photo shoot. I got good mileage on the way home too ! 20.4 kilos per liter...WTF?

Great to have met you. Got about 51 mpg also going home, but this time had my GPS on the bike, telling me 50 is more like 46.

Dropping a tooth in the back is starting to sound like a good idea, wonder what that will do to a 60 ft launch and how much speedo healing?

I think that dropping 3 teeth in the back (about 8% ) gives a correct speedo reading, but that may hurt you in the drag racing dept.

That was not me, I have the short carbon exhaust, and a orange and black, not a canadian bike.
