how many would want to do that?

once i get a feel for how many are interested ill work on the details.

I do not think mine will be ready in time. I just had a blower put on it with some long tubes and don't think it will be tuned by Friday. But I will be riding my r1 until I get the vette back. So if the r1 is acceptable I'll join you guys.

Alright Mickey and I went saturday and took a fresh current look at the route. Its going to be a blast, we had fun just the 2 of us. nice roads no problems scraping bottoming out etc. some good high speed sections. very nice wooded backroads. Phil's Roadhouse has some of the best burgers ive had before, they have a good sized parking lot. a large section of the lot is gravel but it is smooth and level.
the route is 84.5 miles total from 510 to the finishing point. the finishing point is the shopping center at 2978 and 1488. that way its easy for everyone to split up and take which ever way is best for them to get back to their area of town.


they let me make a reservation for us but its for a early lunch 11:00. so we are leaving from 510 at 10:00 no matter what , so fill up get snacks whatever before then. #5 is the restaurant Phil's roadhouse and grill. i plan to pull to the side of the road just before #6 to regroup. i have no fuel stops/bathroom stops planned.

Starting point 510 Race Engineering / VZ Autoworks 22111 huffsmith kohrville Tomball, TX. 77375. or on the map it comes up as 22111 fm 2978 Tomball,TX. 77375


yes i changed the route a lil on the map #9 is bypassed

more than likely not, only if its from a 2008. if the x-pipe is from 09+ find a good deal on 09+ mufflers then pick those up install them with the headers and sell your mufflers.
