Went for a big group ride yesterday, there was 24 of us. It was kindof a last ride before "re-surgery" for one of the guys, & a "memorial ride" for one of our fellow riders, Rob by dtrail , he was taken from us up in Georgia on Hwy 60 last weekend, doing what he loved, riding his gixxer.
Here's a couple of pics & a vid link one of the guys put together. He was riding a Triumph 675. Check the max speed on my gps , a Busa was the only one to pass me . It was friggin HOT BTW, 95F.

Looks like you had alot of fun! Sorry to hear about your buddy, that sucks in every way. The only way around that is to do exactly what you did. Hop on your bike and ride with 24 of your buddies at criminal speeds. Man, I wish I was there. We're looking at 90 come Saturday yee haa.
