LOL.....Your gas price would be about like ours if your government took off the taxes. Maybe you need to start wining about that.... :-D :-D

Glad to see Spring has arrived in Sweden. Hope the rain stays away so you can get some cruising in.

Those seem like some pretty slow numbers for a R3. Anybody out there have any first hand quater mile times? Seems to me like the Rocket was susposed to post in the elevens?

MCN has the Rocket at 11.45, M109 at 11.62. Too close to call stoplight to stoplight in other words. You'll need to be on your game, same as against a V-Roid.
