I'll try to get them uploaded tonight or tomorrow. I've got two days worth of Bike Week pics, plus the WERA races at Jennings yesterday, to sort through.

You tried out the Shiver? Not the Tuono or the superbad SXV5.5 but the Shiver?

I'd ride a Jap bike before I ride the Shiver or Mana.

How did Chris like Dorsoduro?

He liked it a lot, but I think it quickly got overshadowed by his afternoon test ride on the Vmax

.... I swear, it's a cult. Everyone (but me) test rode that thing this week, and fell in love with it.

yeah, as long as you aren't going to corner that Vmax is awesome. hella power.

He actually said it handled nicely, but that might've been a qualified statement, i.e. "It handles nicely (for a 900 lb beast!)"

They only had one each of a few of the bikes (the Tuono, Dorsoduro, and two of the sportbikes, the names of which escape me at the moment). So what was left were Shivers and Manas (Chris wanted to ride the Dorso).

I actually really like the looks of the Shiver, so I was game to try it out (I would've put my foot down about the Mana though...

no interest in riding an automatic).
