Wish I was on CB1100 on the Dragon!!!!

I'm pretty sure he bought the bike. I'm also pretty sure that the use of pulchritude for any reason will not greatly be encouraged. Twice may be enough. I can't remember whether you were around for Hondahoney episode at the end of 2016. It did not end well.

But then it wasn't nearly as clever as VLJ's work.

I was. Also the drunken posts. Lurking, of course.

The envelope is being sorely pushed these days.

I watched a documentary about Hugh Hefner, and I think the most revealing thing about it was that the most important business decision he ever had to make was whether to match a competitor in terms of what was being shown in the magazine's images.

I believe he thought it over for about a microsecond and then upped the ante.

Frankly I was surprised the mods didn't just delete that image posthaste.

But maybe the times, they are a changin'.

Guth's only given me the Junior X-Ray specs, popgun. Not fair is it?

I wanted Guth to read my blurb first to make sure it didn't come off as irresponsible, lol!

Here you go, take it for what it's worth...

That riding style seen in the Gold Wing video is all about maintaining a pretty high average speed constantly, and trusting to a perfect line and clean pavement in every turn.

My style is "in slower, out faster". If I want to go around someone (be it racetrack or street, either one) I will pass on straight, assuming it's clear and I have the HP, and compress the deceleration into a much shorter distance (brake hard and later) while still upright before the corner. I will usually enter the corner a little more slowly than the rider I've passed (assuming he's moving along pretty well) use a little less lean angle, and get the bike onto the meat of the tire (rolling the bike toward upright) as soon as possible so when I can see the exit of the turn, I can begin acceleration as soon as possible.

Basically, it's a "late brake/trail brake/late turn/tight line/less lean angle/early acceleration" type of technique, taught widely by every track day school I've been to [read: Freddie Spencer, Keith Code, Reg Pridmore, Jason Pridmore, Trackxperience, et. al.]

My style is more like a "Yo-Yo" and doesn't lend itself at all to group rides.

I learned to race on a small, lightweight motorcycle and that's the technique one has to use when the bike has less power. It gives more options and if adjusted for conditions can be quite safe as well.
