I frequent a few other forums (dirt bike and Mustang related). One of those forums has a clever map feature that shows users home towns on a big map of the US.

It's a really cool way to see where everyone else is.

I'll try to find it and post a link - seems pretty cool, especially if we try and get some sort of Repsol meet going. You can pretty quickly see where the heavy concentrations of users are located... or not.

EDIT - This is not the forum I was looking for, but it's the same concept. http://www.davep.org/SPA-Map/

It would be awsome to see the concentration of Repsol Riders in the US and the rest of the world. Good thinkin'.

Pretty nice map idea...if you zoom in on satellite you'll see that I live in a tree in the park:D

Lol... yeah, it looks like I live in a construction site instead of an apartment building. Might be time for google to update their maps! :)

Oh, and here is something fun with Google maps:

1. go to google.com

2. click on "maps"

3. click on "get directions"

4. enter "new york" in the starting address and "paris, france" in the end address

5. click "get directions"

6. scroll down to direction #23 and laugh. ;)

It picked me out pretty good on the map, right in my apartment complex. It even got the street right!

Hey Mother, glad to see there's someone else on here that lives in Orlando. We seem to be pretty far away from a lot of the other little dots on the map

Please use 0 level zoom to see me in Finland, I'm not so far away :D

Yeah, so far we're the only ones down here. So when are you getting your bike? Do you have something to ride right now?

I've ridden Suzuki's all my life, well, since I was about 19. I owned a GSXR-600 and I recently sold my 2005 GSXR-750. I saw that Honda was re-releasing the Repsol for '07, so I pretty much decided I had to get it.

I've been talking with a guy at Performance Honda way out on West Colonial. I was down there last weekend looking at the Repsol and Im thinking about going back down there this weekend.
