I believe Mines has the distinction of causing the only "totaled" S2000 on an organized drive.

Was that an actual organized drive or just word of mouth?

the bike vs car debate has been there for ages, there is always someone who is faster. but from my personal experience the fastest rider i've ever meet was LaVelle he still have the plate "kingof9". i remember scraping knees on my 03R6 back in the days at 70mph and he would pass me outside at 100mph+ on the street and disappears with in seconds. like all motorcyclist we all crash sooner or later.

video of him

I think the lower is where the bikes will have an advantage, despite all of the small bumps. They can really open it up i think. Once we past redwood gulch, i think the cars might have an advantage but i still think bikes are faster. Ive encountered one that maybe up to par at but this is only from downtown saratoga to the stop sign

Yes, Scott there were other people that rode with him on occasion Some of you might remember me talking about him.

It's all about minimizing risk, the more you ride at a hundred percent the easier it gets and the more likely you are to make a stupid mistake. It happens to the best of us, luckily he's still here to talk about it.
