Took a solo ride yesterday evening, tried some new roads.  Lost the back tire around one corner, either gravel or road irregularity, but it was just a small slide on a tight corner with a steep lean. 

Took a ride with 3 other guys today (zx10, f6, street tripple) was fun but worked me hard.  Got the bike up to its top speed on one long isolated country downhill, actually got to 140 faster than the r6, but he could keep going.  Striple was left behind, zx hit 170.  Most of the ride was twisties, and had me at a disadvantage.

Sounds like fun other than losing some traction...
