Yeah, yeah, yeah. Le Mans car. Four wheels, god's torque, satan's horsepower.

Search and find the video of a Gold Wing rider at Deal's Gap. It'll make one wonder why we spend money on upgrades and track days. I doubt that there is a GSXR or FZR rider who could keep pace.

I remain humble.

Only took us about an hour to get to top in a family trip last summer. Compared to the record a week later which I think was around 12 minutes. Insane.

And yes... I'd prefer chasing... Much less fun to be the hare, when he comes shooting out of the corner behind you at twice the speed...

gotta hand it to the europeans. I can't imagine the safety mongers here in the states allowing such an event. I guess we'll stick to doing this on tracks.
