I say we ride from CO to Vegas to San Diego up the California/Oregon Coast.

Fucking AMAZING roads there... the only problem is it can be VERY WET when you get to the Oregon Coast...

It will be awhile before I have the vacation leave to be able to do that, probably 2010 or 11.

In short you have circuit, (ring,route) If you want to go you jump on the token as it comes by. Why wait so long to get it ready. plan one for Fall or something like that.
Perfect... That's EXACTLY what I had envisioned.

Plan one for the fall you say?

Plan one to coincide with Indy perhaps?

That's actually kinda what I was thinkin'... My couches, spare bedroom, air matress, and recliner have TWFix members names written all over them. If a hot chick... or really any chick for that matter... wants to snuggle up in my bed too that's coolio.

How about get her a bike and bring her along!

You should look for an 01 or so... I love the looks of the first gen SV a lot better, and you could probably pick one up cheap, a lot cheaper than a 2nd gen. And they are on par with eachother as far as performance goes, both will need some fork work and maybe a rear shock and they will be completely capable of whooping ass in the twisties or at the track.
