Cool pics. Boy, seeing them all together like that the Corvette is clearly the most beautiful machine.

We are going across Arkansas, parts of southern Kentucky to northern Tennessee - then down through Knoxville and will stay in Robbinsville for two nights. From there we are going up the Blue Ridge Parkway to Sparta, then back west more or less back the way we came.

By Far!
Only an ACR would be acceptable.

What? You did not go on a motorcycle ride? Some priorities.

I did both. Took my 73 year old father for about 120 miles in the Corvette, came home and jumped on my CBR1000RR, for about 20 miles, then finished off the day, into the evening, on a 60 mile trip on the Goldwing. Was a GREAT DAY!

I've tried to set mine up to be a little sportier, but still handle long days and once a year week long trips....

Sweet! I have a Yamaha FZ1with 25,000miles, as well as the 03 Wing, with almost 100K and the new CBR1000RR. Been thinking of swapping the Yamaha with a new Connie. I usually average 20,000 miles a year. Got a feeling this new Corvette is gonna put a dent in that.
Enjoy your ride today!

Nice cars to cruise with...good times!

If you get the chance test drive the Viper. I think you'll appreciate both the differences to the Corvette and what it is that makes the Viper such a blast to drive.
