155 - 08 Concours
112 - 09 Versys
155 - 01 Triumph Sprint
65   - Derby 150cc Scooter - down hill with a breeze

The scooter scared the bejesus out of me.

i can completely understand. the 2nd worst crash i ever had was on a bicycle. that was only (barely) superceded by getting T-boned by a car riding an 85 Yamaha Venture Royale.

Nice safety gear in your avatar there preacher.  Before you come in here lecturing make sure your above reproach.  No kidding its not safe, everyone knows that before they do it.  Get off your high horse.

Speaking of speed and doing it in a safe environment, has anyone here taken their C-14 onto an actual track?  How does it handle in that scenario?  Is it worth the risk?  I took my SV to Florida to keep at my mom's place to have something to ride when I go down there, but now that it's getting into summer and summit point is only 45 min from me now, I'm somewhat regretting having moved the more trackable bike out of town, not that I really had anywhere to keep it here in VA.

Quite a few have tracked their C-14 and it does very well.
Sadly those threads were lost, but somebody will chime in.
