These Sport Touring bikes are just easier to throw around and have so much power it makes up for my average riding skills.

Swap bikes and I would struggle to keep you guys in sight.:mad:

The initial challenge was to figure out how to ride my bike slower not faster. I wasn't even trying to ride fast. 90 just feels like 60.

I have since learned how to tone it down. I am riding much slower when I am riding with other people now. I think Kris will attest to that.

Safer and more relaxing for all concerned.

Dave - Bob's bike is faster top end and just as quick if not slightly quicker. Not sure we really need to find out that his goes 157 mph and mine "only" does 142 mph or his 0-60 time is 3.01 and mine is "only" 3.49. :eek:

Yes, I have seen the other side of 125 a few times but I really can't think of a good reason to do it again.... except on a track. Going that fast can be a felony, how do you explain that to your family?

I can't claim I'm young and dumb anymore. Because I'm no longer young:cool:

Indeed....slower and more relaxed when riding with others is far more enjoyable. I spent plenty of time last weekend going 75 in a 60 zone...much easier and enjoyable to do when riding solo. I rode with a couple Vic guys from a different LC than mine the weekend before last. Those knuckleheads go balls out all the time no matter who is along. Scraping pipes in every turn, full throttle roll-ons on every corner exit....it's brutal...and no fun for those like me whose riding style is 180 degrees different. What's really bad is that they are the officers (they broke away from my group to form their own)...and they think that is how to lead group rides. They've had some "issues" during some of those rides too, but it doesn't slow them down one bit. I was Jones-ing for a ride that day, but I knew what I was in for. I'm still shaking my head over my choice to join them though.

Riding with Greg is always enjoyable....and I've done quite a lot of it over these last 6-7 years. Wow...did I really just say that....?? He could have dusted me several times on Saturday, but he knows I don't ride like a pimp....so thanks for keeping me in your rear view mirror Greg...!

I ride mostly alone at speeds between 65 and 80 which are legal speeds here.i
did see a true gps verified 140 on my bike once but chickened out at that point,it was still pulling nicely though.

That wasn't me that wanted to see which one was faster.
