Sports Cars & Sport Bikes

Wanted to throw up a couple pictures from a mid-winter ride through Loudoun County from about 6 weeks ago.  Went through the curvy roads this time with a pair of sport bikes belonging to coworkers.  Let me tell you, driving with sport bikes is a whole 'nother experience!  Their acceleration is just insane.  We all had a good time on an unseasonably warm day.  I was paired up with a BMW S1000RR and a GXR750.  The roads were mostly free of traffic.  And I was able to scratch "get all 4 tires off the ground" off of the FR-S "to do" list.

The FR-S had no power to accelerate with these bikes.  The BMW S1000RR is putting out the same crank horsepower as the FR-S for pete's sakes.  But on the curves testing lateral grip, the FR-S was able to hold its own and keep pace, sometimes setting the pace.  It was an awesome experience and all came away impressed with the other person's ride.  Much respect.  Here are some pics from the day.
