Yesterday was perfect for driving. On the way home I actually thought I'd enjoy the ride and savor it a bit more by slowing down. I already know I can go faster but looking up to enjoy the view has something to be said for it too.

I looked up in my rearview mirror and to my horror thought I had the Highway Patrol on me. It wasn't thankfully. It was a fully equipped rider in a riding suit.
I decided to go and see if he'd follow. Oh boy did he. After half a mile I signaled him to pass which he did with a thankful toot of his horn. I now followed him. He had his knee just about scraping and leaning/hanging on to his bike like a master. I kept up with him until my road a few turns later.

I thought about continuing on, but now I'd be racing.

What a great drive.

Washed the Z and wifes X5 last night as I knew it would be sunny today and I'd get to drive

LOL, I go to the dealer because my passenger side headlight is out...so I figured I'd buy one (ordered a pair of 6000K online but won't have them till next week)

Dealer was nice enough to say they are still nuder warranty, which was cool, especially after he told me one xenon bulb was $180

which is crazy cause I bought 2 online for $40 (must be cheepo's)

Lame thing is they won't just give it to me, they have to install it if covered under warranty...will take too much time out of my day to drop off my car for something like that...

Took the Z to SpecialtyZ today, had seb tune it, check the nuts and bolts and install the whiteline rear swaybar locks (can't believe they sell em separately...).

Next appointment Dec 3rd, for M370 install along with Koni shocks and SPL swaybar front enlinks and a re-tune

Took mine for a drive to visit one of my companies office in Bullhead City (next Laughlin, NV). On my way out of town I was tailgated by a moto cop for about two miles before he decided to speed off and leave me alone!
