    Great roads... I love my driving this car!!

    I might be doing Tail of the Dragon with some friends in the fall; are there any good online guides that dissect the road in terms of driving, safety etc. I have been on tailofthedragon.com and am aware of the safety issues but was looking more of a driving breakdown from someone with experience.

    K&N finally released an air filter for the Gen 4.....

    Actually, I spoke with a K&N engineer asking about a new filter when the 2008s first came out. I remember him telling me that they were looking for a customer donor car to develop the filter.
