I can easily register because I finally have PayPal, so I'm slowly coming into the 20th century . . . Oh wait, it's the 21st century, DOH!

Hey Tony, how many more hours till we leave? I was also wondering if you've ever looked at the way Kevin organizes events. Here is the link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/12th-annual-texasmac-memorial-ride-2015-vfrdiscussion-tickets-15643795012 I think I will use it the next time. I'm not sure you've tried it but it makes sense.

Jim (Bizbat) and I are talking about riding down through part of California then east to event, any Canuck bros want to go that way?

I just registered at the Red Arrow Inn so now I can start counting down the months, weeks, days, hours . . . Tony, thanks for handling this again and be sure to let us know what route you guys are taking from BC and Alberta. I'm thinking of heading down through California then head east. Not sure yet.

Nice video and music, thanks for posting. We had nice weather, let me know when to start planning Oregon Trail II

Pedrosa keeps showing top form then manages either to flub up by himself or find bad luck but he's fast; he might be too light to handle the bike with a full tank because he struggles for 1st half of race. Yamahas have improved now will Honda up their technological game. Go MM get the record 13 wins!

Very patiently ?

Did someone mention that this bike doesn't have V-Tec? Does anybody have info on this?

I've had troubles a time or two but after 10 years and 74000 miles my fairings have been taken off and put back on so many times that it's a simple job now. I don't tighten any until all are well started; the chin fairing has a little groove and should be massaged into place; I've changed bolts few times now and those push pins need replacing often; I've had to epoxy Nut back on the inside of the chin fairing and I use a push pin for one of the minor fairing mounts. Keep at it don't fight become one with your fairing ...... And don't forget to tighten all the bolts!

That MV looks like eye candy! Welcome to VFRD

On any day Pedrosa can be the fastest he lacks the raw aggression of the others most but not all the time.

Dream race: Rossi,Stoner,Pedrosa,Lorenzo,Marquez in 10 lap race at COTA

I don't think Marquez is lucky, I think he flat knows how to handle that motorcycle.

Notice how he has both feet on the ground when he launches. Everyone else has one foot down. I think he pushes off with both feet, but also he keeps on the gas deep into the first corner. Pedrosa used to be the best drag racer but Jorge has got the edge on all of them. If Marquez gets better then its going to be even harder to stop him.

Another great race especially the final laps nothing decided till very late.

So it's Colorado we can put Utah speculation and weak microbrew choices to bed. So I'm thinking Durango, Ouray or Telluride. Durango has more Lodging options and access to four states for route choices.

Try Angel GTs, you won't regret it.

I was watching free practice on motogp on line this morning and heard something startling: the announcers were talking about the Honda customer bike the green ones Hayden, Redding et al; they said they will be using this years engine next year without seamless gearbox and with standard electronics but the point is the said this years customer bike puts out 240 hp while the RC213v puts out 274 hp! All I got to say is WOW!!! Can't imagine a 350 lb bike with 274 hp.

We're ready for another teaser, Tony.

I guess the radiator is in the way on the 2014 huh?

Look at Toce exhausts at the CBR 1000RR I saw one today on an R-6 looked pretty good. They don't make one yet for the Vfr but who knows?
