Surf,

Noticed your comment on the Viffer. It aint no "Busa" but its got some pretty good wallop.
Not near as comfortable as your bike (by the by, the local constabulary here inSane Diego have just purchased a fleet of the police version of your model Beemer, tremble in your boots! oh ye speeder scoflaws!). The Vfr does have similar acceleration times to yours and is WAyyyy more comfortable than my Ninja was.

I was heading South down I15 the other day in the showoff lane just barely passing traffic when I see in my rear view a single headlight approaching very rapidly. I think "here comes some doofus kid on his R1, I will move to the right so he can kill himself without involving me". I move to the right and alongside shows up one of the new beemer cops (werent no R1 after all) he slows to my (ahem) reasonable speed, makes a downward motion with his right hand a couple of times (keep it down buddy!) punches it and dissapears into the forground. ahh the camraderie of two wheels! It's almost as friendly as sailors!
LOL!

Dewey
