No, you rode it from the State Park. I rode it "to" the State Park.

Correct Chris, I rode the other twin (EVIL TWIN Buell S3T) to the State Park. Some of the guns are in Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky and of course Southern Illinois!!! It was a nice 612 mile day ride on Saturday and then another 231 miles on Sunday. Sorry Chris,,,,on the description error....I'm just excited that I can post pics!!!

You were just excited to be on the W650. I'm sure that's what it was. So excited, it compensated for the Evil Twin experience, though I think you liked it more than I. When you look at it from another standpoint, how can a wild ride with a couple of twins be bad, eh? Sort of like MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island and Carmen Electra........mmm mmm. :thmup:

So which one is Carmen Electra and which one is Maryann ???? Either way ...it's a winner. I did enjoy the Evil Twin ride on the way to the park, the front end being able to come up easily while exiting corners was fun.....Carl I didn't really roost too much on the Buell.....but you are correct on the bike doesn't really work until it's being ridden illegally.....it was fun and anytime I get to ride with my friends is what makes it all the better.
