        About 21 minutes too long. Cut to the chase, dammit! This is the exact reason why I don't watch any of these shows.

          Agree! I skipped ahead a LOT, to the actual races.

          After the first run I thought the GS was in trouble. Glad the good guy prevailed in the end!

            He should have picked a easier bike to sell then a V-Rod.

              Wouldn't have ever been close if the Suzuki guy would actually launch, instead of spotting the V-Rod so much.

                I'm just wondering if the 1100E was stock or an 1166 or bigger sleeper? If it was bone stock with 70 lbs of 4:2 pipe that is pretty much sums up HD.

                We drove back from Nor Cal last weekend; going through Reno it was windy and there were full bagger HD's everywhere. Scary watching them sway around in the wind.

                One guy really took the cake, when on a two-lane highway, he passed me while staying in lane (between me and the double yellow) with his GF on the back! The rest of the guys went to the other lane and passed easily. He could have easily taken out a mirror and ended up sliding in front of the E-350 van
