    Englishtown was $26.

    It was tons of fun...I was able to get 6 runs in. I used to take my Mustang there all the time about 6 years ago.

    They have test and tune every wed night and racing every Friday, I think!

    the road is still dirt, and filled with holes. If I can get a pic on Friday, I'll send you one, I bet it hasn't changed all that much :D

    That's a 600RR or 1000RR. Because the double head lights & no pipe on the side. That means the exhaust runs under the seat. 2003 600's came with exhaust under the seats & 2004 the first year for the 1000RR.

    It's a 600rr....even the 1000RR has 2 headlights and the undertail exhaust though....

    And I'm pretty sure since 03 both the 600rr and the 1000rr have had undertail exhaust.

    I think I would run a little faster if I was just a little lighter:) But I'm happy with going 115 :)

    You could loose a few pounds...ha ha ha...you might not want to loose to much, the bike needs to stay on the ground to move fast.
