Met up at the guys house, never met any of these riders before. I was told it was going to be a slower ride, pick up the speed in the corners, speed limit where they knew cops would be stationed... Well, apparently 90-110 is a slower ride. :
We averaged 85mph over the 5 hours we rode, about half an hour of which was at a pace slower than a walk (on the lakeshore here in MI, it was a complete stand still... Sucked). I saw at one time that we were doing 90 in a 45. 
First stop we made for gas, about 45 minutes into the ride.. For some reason she snapped a picture of me?
Second stop we made, Grattan Racetrack. They were running when we showed up, decided to stay and watch a couple laps.. Seeing those guys bomb into the corners like they did was sick. Some of the bikes stood up on the front wheel entering the corner, the rear hovering about 2 inches off the ground, throw it over on it's side, scrape some knee, then right back on the throttle towards their next corner. Way cool.
All together, we did about 250 miles, only 60 of which were highway.. The rest were 90-100 mph twisties.
And to those of you who say the 250 has corner speeds comparable to the bigger bikes? I'd love to see a 250 get up to the speeds we were going and maintain them through a corner.. That would be wide open in 6th. Not bashing at all, just saying that anything smaller than a 600 would have had a hard time keeping up with this group. ;D
