Today we rode with a group in Birmingham for the Ride for Kids benefiting Pediatric Brain Tumor Research. Didn't get a total of how many showed. There were about 6 of our beloved Visions in the mix. Overcast, a sprinkle or two and police escorts for about a 40 mile well planned route and then we all got to do a few laps around the track. It's a beautiful world class track with great drops and turns. We couldn't do "hot laps" but I hear tell a couple of the Visions were scraping tip overs in the turns.

I was one of the six other Vision riders there. It was GREAT! We took three laps around the track. I only got up to around 70-75, but leaned pretty good (didn't scrape the boards, but one HD rider came up to me afterwards and commented on how much lean angle my Vision had going through the curves. I can see how someone could get hooked on doing the go-fast thing on the track!

Excelboy, it was good to finally meet you and your wife. Pix sent in e-mail.

I wish I had know about it - I would have made the trip over from Atlanta...
