When I was down in Mexico this past January, I saw a GS500E. He was going to fast for me to talk to him though!  :laugh:

Pull a Circle's Center, you jump on your bike and drag launch after him. (Slipping clutch at 9 - 9.5k full throttle) Hang off like a monkey around the corners and gas it till you catch him.
