Martin,

Thanks for your reply, basically from what I can see it verifies
the notion that I will be able to hit the Blue Ridge Parkway on
the Sprint ST and wind up with a huge grin. In other words have
99.9% of the fun I would have on the 9r on the same roads, yet
still be able to walk without a limp when I reach my Dad's house
in London ON.

As I said I am still going to keep the 9r for Saturday nights and
for those Sunday morning romps with a few friends, but I would tend
to agree with the notion that durring the week I would be going
for the Saphire blue keychain instead of the Candy Lightning blue
one.

Definately the same as my first impressions

Ahhh, nothing like the front of bike raising in the air even with
you 225lbs laying on tank :-)

Still have yet to take the Killer Smurf mobile to a track, but
hopefully that will happen by next summer.
