Default Roll-On '07 - '08 96" motors

Jinks and I did a little *testing* this weekend. One was a roll-on
getting on I-95 going through a couple of gears, the other was a roll-on
in 6th at about 65-70.

I was on Gary's '07, he was on Rudy (Banker was on Rodney and was left
in the dust). The only difference between the two bikes is a PCIII (on
the '07)and the bike I was on was carrying two or three extra pounds
.....ahem.....

The '07 pulled away in both cases, even with the extra weight. And it
wasn't a crawl away, it was somewhat more than a brisk walk.. sort of a
fast trot as opposed to a full gallop.

I ordered the PCIII today.

Yeah, but Rudy pulled away on Saturday! I still think it was them cool
new handlebars, doubt the fuel door lock had much to do with it.......8^)

This coming from the guy that wouldn't even get on one because he was to
skeert.
Can't handle a bagger, can ya, ya lightweight.
Probably blow right off the damn thing.

Wind resistance was lowered by a cool factor...
I got the jump on ya off the line, and you were two up,
which makes about the same weight as me one up.
The fuel door shuts much tighter now, less wind resistance.
