WTF is roll tide? clue an old man in please.

 

Roll Tide is the slogan for Alabama. It's not something an Auburn fan like myself has heard much over the past 7 odd years. However, since Alabama won the last Auburn/Alabama game (the first in some 7 or so years) I've been hearing it all the time. I've also been smelling moth ***** a lot, as the Alabama fans have been waiting patiently for the better part of a decade to proudly don their apparel.

 

Not into college sports, no wonder I was clue-less

I need to find a curvy road that is that long. We have some great twisties, but they aren't that long.

one of us will be on the ZX 12r- he has to stop for gas every 120 miles or so should get a few pic's
I 'll be on the 900rr and can go 200miles
and the onther is on a GS1200 he can go 400+

 

I can go about 200 miles on my ZZR600.

 

I ONLYYY get 50-60 mpg and carry roughly 4 gallons
same fuel for the ZX12r but he only get 30-35 mpg
it would seem to me some of the newer FI bikes are giveing up lots of MPG for only (comparably) a little more HP?

 

Had to get in on this thread. I always see it but never knew what it really ment. Still dont think i truly do. just wanted to be part of it. lmao!

 

I love you so much for asking this question.

The phrase "Roll Tide" came about during the days that Bear Bryant coached the football team. They said the team looked like a crimson tide coming down the football field when they were wearing their crimson jerseys, hence the phrase "Crimson Tide" and "Roll Tide Roll!"

 

Your time will come, young padawan.
