    It does, but like I said, any crash you can walk away from is a good one. Any crash you can ride away from is a better one.

    Good ride everybody!

    Awesome ride today.. stuck with the Springs group and had a blast! all the way through deckers and woodland.. a good group to ride with and hope to do so again soon.. great pace the whole way, adverse weather on the top... plenty of fast corners.. overall fantastic ride.

    Great to meet so many people...I know I won't remember most of you until I ride with you, but it was a pleasure! Awesome turnout and the weather couldn't have been better! Sorry to those from the springs that didn't get together with us for the ride up. Great ride all together and for me the pace was just about right! I'll be ready to hit some of the roads up north pretty soon so I will try to get with some of you north boys(n' girls) for a ride(all that p2p, cia, psp, nba stuff is so confusing to me ) Until next time

    Had a blast this weekend, the second half of the ride made it all worth it. Thanks and I will ride with you all again soon.

    +1, plus car engines have knock sensors that would detect any detonation or pre-ignition and retard the timing anyway.

    It was a good ride, here's some pics I took. I'm working on photoshoping some other ones together since there were so many bikes. It took three pics to get them in a shot. I'll post those later.
