Congratulations @louisbosco!
So when are you buying the S1000RR?

@Graeme IWHWIH
i'll start looking next year. slowly see what EOY deals they have, or any newer models to expect. the more i think s1000rr, the more i'm thinking, am i missing out on anything else? R1M, Fireblade SP2 etc? -
@louisbosco I suspect that the differences between the R1, Fireblade, S1000RR, etc. will be unnoticeable unless you're a hardcore track day addict. As with all these things, get what you like, rather than what wins the spec sheet battle.
If you're looking for the new hotness, Suzuki are rumoured to have a turbocharged twin in the works (along the lines of the Recursion concept), and Kawasaki are developing a supercharged triple (the SC-02 sketch is an indication of what's coming). Both machines could be really interesting.
I'd be tempted to look at the super-naked bikes instead. An S1000RR, Tuono, or MT10 will be quicker than you are, whilst being more comfortable and practical. They might not even be much slower on the track, Sean Macdonald at Cycle World found an RSV4 and Tuono were about the same speed.

Here's a random announcement: I am perhaps the first person to ever take delivery of a blue bag in the middle of the ocean. I got my stuff today! It took two weeks to get here, but I'll be damned, it made it to me safely. Thank you Alex for making it happen (and answering a thousand emails about sizing, and being a customer service guru), and thank you Paula for taking such good care of me. I love you all, and I'm so thrilled to know you, and be a part of the IH Family.

Sadly, no. I would love an IH Deck, but I already have a beautiful Trophy version that I adore. Someday I'll get one though. I did get a Whipcord Work Jacket and a green rip-stop CPO, although I'm renaming it SCPO (Senior Chief Petty Officer) because I've earned the title
-
are you actually a SCPO though?

That he is. Promoted a couple of years ago, as I recall.

aye. huge respect for NCOs because we all know that what a CO can never do a NCO's job but NCOs are trained to do both!
and also because my closest mentor in the army was my platoon sergeant (SSG) and now a WO -
Last night, my niece and her husband stopped in for the evening prior to going to Pfafftown, outside of Winston Salem to stay with my sister. After some glasses of wine I realized I did not have anything for my nieces husband. They live in SF and have been to SESF with me, so I HAD A IH-526L-V2, washed never worn, that didn't really work for me, so he got it for Christmas. He loves it.
