Looks like fun! I hear that Deals Gap is quite a place to ride. Do you carry your camera equipment when you ride ?

Deals Gap is great. My friends and I go at least 5 times a year to tame the Dragon. Great choice in motorcycle. You can't go wrong with Honda. I ride a 2003 954 and I love it. Maybe catch you at the Dragon this summer. Take care and keep the rubber side down.

Yeah the Perelli came out on the new 1000 RR, but I got to looking at them and with as much power the 1k has it doesn't look like they will give much mileage. I am thinking about going with a BT020 sport touring tire on the back of my RR and a BT012 high performance on the front. I ride alot of miles per year, and I am eating Metzlers M1's and Battlaxe 012SS tires up about every 2500 to 3000 miles. That is hard on the pocket book. I see the guys at Deals Gap ripping it up on the VFR 800's that are equipped with the BT020 so they much handle and stick pretty good.

When the warmer weather hits I will try and get in touch with you on here, and maybe we can make a few runs through the dragon....Later

When I said 4 wheels. I meant my car ...

I fell off an ATV once ... ATV hit a tree, and I fliped, and cleared a 5 foot bush. Then landed in a pile of sticks... lucky thing I only had scratches ...
