2023 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

2023 C1 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Recently purchased this 2004 for the wife because I traded her 2002 Vette in on my pick-up truck.
She wasn't too happy but this one smoothed things over.

Love it, and know the 318 turns in 11 miles well, having done several trips there in the early 2000s with my Suzuki TL1000R, lots of butt puckering fun and the wife smacking my helmet to slow down, lol.

My new Flow Ones had a bit more rear offset than stock, making the newer wide rears hide under the wells. I bought some 20 mm spacers to push them out a touch...
