dude you must be insane if you ride a hyabusa, those are the most rediculous bikes ever. what do you think of that new kawasaki 1400? is it as good as it seems to someone that isnt in the biking world? i heard it runs 0-180 in like 10 seconds or something

Of course the other Porsche guys can come, you can invite whoever, as long as they're not crazy *******s like some of the suby guys on one of the suby meets... We're going on a drive, not meeting up to race (obviously we're gonna screw around... but the goal isn't to draw a **** load of attention). Some of the best drives I went on were with the S2000 crew with loads of different cars, Legacy GT, C6, Evo, S2000s, it was a cool mix.

I'm the oldest on here FTW, 45... 'member, I am going through my mid-life crisis No no, I'm 21, but I look like I'm 14

Go buy or borrow a Ducati and bring it to the track and we will find out who's faster, Busa FTW. Just kidding The new ZX14 is a fast bike so is the new Busa, at sea level with a great, light rider you can get high 8's at just over 150, but in good old Utah with the high elevation you're doing good if your in the 9's.

Originally we had thrown out 11ish for a time frame this saturday. I will be there at 11. This way it doesn't cut into too many plans for the afternoon and evening for everyone. I like your spot box rocket for a meeting place. At least this way we can meet a few folks and hopefully grow from there. Not quite sure how the weather is looking for the weekend but hopefully it's nice. Bring the porsche, I want to check it out

Oh! You have the same disease I have. The get pulled over cuz you don't look old enough disease. I had DOT pull me over in a semi once because they thought I didn't look old enough. The officer didn't laugh too much when he asked if I was old enough, and I said "no, but I've watched my dad drive enough to know what I'm doing and he wasn't feeling well so I told him I'd take over driving for a bit." I had a good laugh at his expression, he was just dumb-founded!
