Mid-Ohio....anyone go?
« on: July 23, 2011, 10:32:58 AM »
Didn't want to part w/ the $60 entry ($30x2)(yep, missed out on the online early buy too)....so...... I didn't go, and the super hot temps weren't conducive to trudging around the track either.  Really wanted to get some test rides in, maybe find a deal on some gloves & a lid..... Oh well........
So.....anything out of the ordinary this year?

No I didn't go, but I'm waiting for a phone call to pick up my 73 Z1 and my 2010 Z1000.

I didnt go this year either.  Seems like not many manufacturers did  demo rides this year. Instead I went last Saturday and did BMW demo rides at Motorcycle Ohio in dublin. Rode the K1600GT and K1600GTL.

That GT is Incredible.

I'll bet it is.  Looks like a great bike.....but I'll wait to see if they've got their driveline issues sorted out yet. ::)

Nope. Skipped it for the first time in a decade. Went racing instead.

Too f***ing hot! Too bad too, was all ready to go. Looks like they got a load of rain Sat and Sun anyhow.
