You may have a future as a moto-photo journalist. Your photography skills are impressive! Thanks for the write up...

Try a Street or Speed Triple and report back...

Was a great trip...thanks to all that put it together, dutch, miguel, and to gary for inviting me. It was my best ride of the year...not to mention my ONLY ride of the year...LOL! I am now hooked on Arkansas roads for sure.

Thanks Miguel for the nice write up...you are a good riding partner it's easy to tell. Thanks for all you do here!

I have really had a blast at track days...not that I'm going to be racing anytime soon, but the personalized instruction I've gotten has really improved my skill and confidence in cornering.

Speaking of paint, I just got my bike back from the painter...check it out: https://picasaweb.google.com/sicampbelldds/VFR800

Ride safe!

Just curious as to how many years you have been riding? I've only got a few years under my belt and big group rides are really not a great place to work on technique IMO. It's just that the tone of your report seemed to be at least mild discontent...you might enjoy it more if you took some track instruction...if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, I profusely apologize! I just hate to see riders without a ton of experience get thrown into big group rides as their only or main riding. It's like golfing in scrambles...terrible for your game, but the social part is hard to pass up...Love your blue paint BTW

Darn it I wish I had known you would be so close to me. I live like 40 min west of Coeur d'Alene!
