Lol, were you out there too?
Blackbird?? Wash your mouth out!
They weren't my group either . . . we came up behind them at Lake Forsythe they were all in a huddled group cruising at 110k, we followed them to Akas but the traffic on the hill was heavy so not much action there lol.

Rode to steinhatchee, Florida and then made my way east towards some sections of the now shutdown cross Florida barge canal project. Eventually ran out of pavement and things got sketchy riding the big concours through some of Florida’s dirt (is really sand in Florida) roads and had to turn around. Traction control light was going crazy and I was wishing I was on my DR650 to keep pushing through what turned into trails through a state park. Covered 545 miles. Definitely going back to that area soon. It is beautiful!!!!! Just need to be careful with wild life as I saw plenty of their carcasses on the side of the road and also ran over a black snake that was sun bathing on the road. I freaked out when I saw it, but couldn’t stop in time, so I had my feet almost up to the handlebars :rofl: !!! Glad it didn’t get entangled on my footpegs and just went back into the woods.

Very nice pictures
 
I was able to get out for a quick ride on Saturday evening. Only had an hour so I did a short loop on some back roads. Of course they are all back roads in rural Iowa. Still being new to the bike I am conservative with the throttle but the pull is just amazing when I swing out to pass someone. 60 to 120 in the blink of an eye:super:

I have a whole box of parts to add to the Bus but finding the time is an issue.
 
When I was riding home on the freeway I got stuck in traffic (no lane splitting here). As you can see in the picture a car ended up facing the wrong way in a ditch.

Thanks mate, I will post up more great pics of another bike show we have on Saturday 27th April (this Saturday) at the Little River Hotel, there will be a huge array of bikes, all different types, NZ is a very motorcycle friendly and focused country and culture.

You mean this one?
The bike on the left is actually a 1985 RG500, very rare and very valuable, around $20K.
The bike in the middle is my riding buddy's 2006 GSXR1000, he just purchased it a month ago, he also has 3 other GSXR's.
And then of course is my blue and white Busa . . . the cream of the crop :D:bowdown::poke::race:

I love RGs......I only took a glance and as you know the coloring is the same as the older Gixxers....those bikes are worth a small fortune now.

I rode one in the day and the guy who owned it rode the supreme crap out of it.....if he only knew................

Yeah, I know what you mean, they were not easy to ride fast, no engine braking and if you get the gear selection wrong mid corner, you are in trouble lol
The modern bikes we ride are a dream compared to the old 'uns, oh apart from the weight of them !

Of course when we rode them they were cutting edge then, it was a huge step up from most of the bikes in it's day....I was a dedicated 2 stroke guy so riding that bike and my other friends' RZ500 was a real treat. When I could afford a bike like these, I went to the '86 Gixxer instead. I still remember how light that bike was.
