Well, I can say that once that guy and I were in the golf cart escorting me to my bike that he was actually a decent guy. In his defense he got called into a situation he didnt know anything about other then what that woman had told him which obviously she didnt know anything she was talking about. He agreed with me on the way to the bikes that I was right and that the woman was wrong and just pissed off but he still had to do his job. That woman was all pissed off because she told some guy to quit filming and he started giving her shit. So when she walked to me and screamed HIPAA in my face, she was already pissed off. Either way, she was completely out of line as I didnt do anything and just happened to be walking through at the walking time.

That RC8 is pure sex!

Yeah, and the Euro versions they had on hand were faster....

Ok, only because the motors were broke in more, but they were MUCH better in terms of the motor department than the ones with only 200 miles on them...

Love the pics. Went up there Saturday but forgot the camera. :mad:

The red flags were making the race a little slow... but always good to see.

BTW, I don't know if anyone else saw the guy with the new Desmo with temp tags still on?? We walked up to the Ducati tent right as he was about to leave. Bike looked very small and compact, IMO. He revved it a few times and it sounded so sweet, you could just hear the power of that engine.

SPEED, VW151 and I hung out with the Desmohio guys. I think we saw some of the Ohio-Rider girls on a golfcart Sunday, I can't be sure though. Never the less, it was a fun time at the races. I'll post pics later.

I'm sure you did see us/them. We were all over the place!

Well, for $19,500 for the orange and white one....and $29,500 for the black one....they can KEEP them...no thanks

Well, considering the features and adjustability, why would you think it should be less money? Do you even know what was on the $30k RC8? Hand laid carbon bodywork from Akropovic isn't as cheap as Hot Bodies... The exhaust is something that is also hand made.

I guess you think a 1098S isn't worth the money either?

For stock machines, these bikes have a lot going for them. Sure, I also somewhat agree as I sit back and look at things similarly in that a GSXR1000 at $11k can be made into a Hell burner for another $8k. But, realize that they are two different classes of bikes and their target audience is different, as well...

Mr. Lizard....I don't recall saying it was not WORTH that....I said they could keep it cause there is no way i'd pay that for it or any other bike for that matter. This is a hobby for me and anything more than the typical $11k is not worth it to me. Stop knocking Hot Bodies...that top shelf, high quality stuff.

Gotcha... I thought maybe you were implying it wasn't worth the $20k price tag... No harm, no foul. I wouldn't pay $20k for a street machine, either. Well, if I can get that money tree to start blooming, maybe...:D

Yeah, Hotbodies is top shelf alright. Top shelf of the shit pile aisle!

I'll attest to the HB shit... My 2 sets require a ton of dremel work to make them somewhat fit, and even then they still look terrible.

A buddy of mine said the new E-Racing cheap stuff is several times better then Hot Bodies. If I hadn't got the one set with the bike and another set for only $250 I would not have bought HB and will never buy it again. The Godfather sets (though quality of make was off) fit better then Hot Bodies.

You didn't let Flis have a Golf Kart did you???

I never did see Jeff. Ran into Baker, Lizard, and went back to see the Shocker Represent.

Looked for the STT tent to say hey but never found the dang thing...
