A buddy of mine wants to go the here:

http://www.nuerburgring.de/home/index.html?L=1

This is about 500 km away, and it sounds like an awesome weekend. Ok, the question is that we will be cruising through Germany, and my buddy wants to hit the autobahns hard and fast. He has this high speed fetish, which is cool, but I am more of an acceleration junkie. I has a VFR750, which is a really good bike mind I tell you, and has to have his fairing. Me, i like the wind in my faceshield. However, at speeds over 150km, it gets fatiguing pretty fast. I know I am telling the same story you all know.

Is there a solution??? The batwing thingy does not look like it does much, and I don;t like the way it looks. I have not seen much offered for the s3 that looks like it would do much, for that matter. Does anyone do high speed travel, i.e. Germany???? I think he wants to do 200 kph or so.

Thanx for your suggestions!

Don't ride over 150 km/h. :-D

Seriously, let him ride ahead and meet him later.
