I copied some of these treads and sent them to him.
He said" that S*#t you set me is crazy."
I ask him to race me from Johnson City, Tn to Memphis and back.
He has never said another word.
However, he is still my friend. Go figure.

I haven't had anything with a gold wing motor for quite some time but my old 1200 was sneaky fast.   I'd say that either one of those bikes would run faster than either of you ought to be going on public roads so take it out to a track day and see what happens.   Best of luck!!!  If it was me, I'd ignore him.  What's his point anyway?  There's always somebody faster out there.  You can't race all of'm.

Ride safe!

Casey - just tell him that real men have multiple cylinders - and lots of them!




Now, let me get this right - is it one down, four up?

Good advice from all, Thanks.

I knew I joined this Forum for a good reason and this proves it.

The wing will eat the VTX alive.  I have a 1500 Wing and two up I pulled my brother on his VTX1800.  Was he surprised!

No sweat, after I told him I would race him from Johnson City Tn. To Memphis and back he has said nothing.
I said to him:
No Bal% no air medles.
That's an old Navy flier term.
