Excellent write up, Lizard! It's reads like this that make me want to hurry to a point where all my time is spent on the track. Funds and the desire to ride whenever I want inhibit that now, but hopefully I can change that soon. As far as the 1125, thanks for the detailed info. It is a bike that I have been curious about, being a big V Twin guy myself. I hope to throw a leg over one sometime soon. And riding with Nick had to be the shiznit! My first trackday instructor was Dave Aldana, and for me it was like Christmas times 10. I couldn't shut up about it for weeks.
