Damn. I try not to go that fast. I just like cruising.

Just out of curiosity...how many chicagoland 7 owners ride? Obviously slow87turbo, burnette, and myself do. Anyone else?

For some of us, one of the few joys there are is watching the earth fly past you at 135mph.

That, and beer and sex.

I ride! Sold my 03 CBR 600RR early this year in the spring. Looking to get a Ducati 999 as my next bike, hopefully by sometime next year. Also just trying to finish up the car so I can start looking into the bike .

nice bike. the yamaha's are well set up and from the test with a pro driver it was faster but you guys are not pro's so i think it will be a good race. I might want some in the rx-7 though. just got all the work done and ready to see what it might do before i ship out.

I have a 06 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6 636 and I rolled up Jacobcartmill's 360HP FC by three car lenghts. From about a 65 roll. I had her to 155mph tonight on the way home... I don't think I'll be doing that again for awhile... I still haven't came down from the rush.
