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.

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

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?

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!"
