I went by a group of riders traveling in the opposite direction. Couple of big-ol' cruisers, a sport tourer, smaller cruiser, and sportbike, all traveling together. It was quite refreshing to see, and they all waved at me. Wish I knew those people!

I've heard those bikes are supposed to 'cruise at 250 MPH'.

(Edit: C6 Corvette Package = ~700 HP)

Hmm..

In MY town the other day, there was around 10 guys on sports bikes hauling down a main road. Quite cool, I was checking out their bikes.. they all waved or nodded their head at me

"Cruise"? If it was me, you wouldn't be able to hear the engine over my terrified screaming.

My Corvette has a 427 CI, and the weight of that car is astounding, especially in the front. I can't imagine that kind of weight for a bike. ...oh yeah, did I mention 500+ lbs/ft of torque?

A GM engine should stay in a GM.

you know your a little eccentric, when you scrape your engine around corners instead of a peg

hey that is cool. don't you ever think of getting yourself one? i think you should try it..

Hmmm... has this thread wandered off the original topic? I think Mag7C was remarking on the friendliness and unity of that riding group despite it's diversity. I've never seen a group of riders like that before. However, of the 3 friends that ride motorcycles that I know, one of them rides a sport bike like me, and the other two ride cruisers. There is nothing but respect between us.
