TT

[Rich Weyand <weyand@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All:

Saw what I think was a TT600 in the flesh tonight, a yellow
one.  Once I finally got a side view, there was no missing 
those big staggered TT letters on the front.  Rider was in 
helmet and black leathers with yellow across the shoulders 
in back.  He was running with a Honda (VTR?) also in yellow 
and black.  No leathers, no helmet.  Both were driving a little 
squidly, given the location (Chicago Ave leading into downtown 
Naperville) and the traffic, which was pretty heavy.

At one point the TT rider got into some short wheelies, getting
about a foot of air on throttle snaps alone.  This was only a 
couple car lengths behind someone.  I was following them in 
traffic, and was stopped behind them once.  Honda had a Honda
logo on the tail, but the other bike had no logo I could see
but a flat across the top round under the bottom tail light 
like the ST.  The bikes (or riders) seemed pretty evenly matched 
when they got on it.  The TT drew air when they turned up a 
side street and got on it hard.

Saw them again in downtown, where they crossed my path, and
got a good look at that TT logo.  Nice looking bike.  Certainly
has torque a-plenty.
