    Maybe I will try another day at Code's school. Riding an S1000RR at Laguna Seca sounds like a great day.

    I have a feeling the bikes will all be set on the lean 150hp "Rain" setting...that should be about 130hp at the wheel, plus that setting bumps up the traction control. Still nothing to scoff at, but more manageable.
