AHH...finally back in the Roadster after the vacation in Florida.  

Drove the '66 in to work after lunch.  One of those superbikes got behind me
coming into the gate.  After I cleared the gate, I jumped in it and dogged
some cars into clear roads.  The bike came up on me FAST.  It is blue/white,
three lights, big back tire, and sounded good as it blew by me.

I catch it and he drops a gear as we go into a uphill left.  He is laid over
and about 50 yard ahead of me.  I hit the corner at 75 MPH and stay with
him.  He exits faster then into a sharp right then fast left.  I exit at 95
MPH and he is pulling away.  

I don't know what kind of bike it was, but it was a blast trying to stay
with him.  First time in a long time I have seen a guy on a bike push it
through some corners - fun to watch.

You know - I think I enjoy the Roadster more then the vacation.......

Happy Roadstering!
