The first one was the white Vision leading the pack of a bunch of Harley's (or so it seemed), right out front where he and passenger should be. Looked good Saw it around Little Rock area.

The second one looked like a Victory XC, it too was white I think. Saw that one a little later past Little rock, he was headed in the Little Rock direction.

Kinda cool seeing more of the bikes around. The last one I saw prior to that was on Tuesday and I was following the Lead Pilot Songfan rolling 75+ down 385. Which was a very cool ride. Nice chat, ride, cool day!

Thanks man, I needed that.

Oh yeah, I gave the Vic guys a two finger Victory V, right side up, but they just ignored me. Could be that they didn't see it through the tinted windows of the dually I was riding in, with the window up and the A/C blowin'.

Memphis

Good day riding with Po.  We went over to the local rider course painted out in a parking lot and he proceeded to humble me in the "box" and through the various layouts.  Full-throw right turns are a killer for me since the front brake handle hits my knee and causes the front end to dive.  Rode through some very nice twisty roads along the River.  Later on he wanted to find out how much of a difference the Lloydz cams make.  We did a 1st gear roll-on up to 2500 rpm and then nailed it.  I frickin hammered the rev-limiter twice in a row (one potato - BRAAAPPP - s**t!, shift - two potato - BRAAAPP - Mother F...!).  I never hammer the throttle like that and wasn't used to how fast it got there.  (Will hopefully get the rev-extender done at the AVR.)  Still waiting for him to catch up.  

Thanks again for the lunch Po!

cool beans, I need to get out and do some "boxing". Did a "panick stop" on the way to work the other morning on wet roads. The light turned yellow and instead of proceeding through I tried to do a complete stop before the white line. Too close and did a fish tail on the line but stop just beyond it.

Po's probably emailing Lloydz right about now...
