sorry JC. You're off...and yes my little Gix had a great time at the track a few weeks ago. Apparently both she and I haven't slowed down yet. Fuck me!

I got ride of my GSX-R750 for the same reason....I wasn't "enjoying the ride"....I was bored unless I was wringing my bikes neck. I got pulled once for 120 in a 55 on a county road in the southern flint hills....got off with a 20 minute lecture....got pulled for 91 in a 35 in a State Park near El Dorado lake....got off with another warning.

I decided that was enough....so I sold the 750. I got the M109-R as a compromise towards more cruising and less "I gotta be hauling ass or I'm not having fun".....I bought it new in 2007....and am ready to fully commit to just "cruising" now....probably a new Concours 14 in my future.

Just tell us the speed....and did he give ur cop friend a ticket too?

Sounds like a change of ride type is in order. Honestly it's not the speed as much as it's pushing the bike to the limits. Maybe a KLR or F650GS (something with one cyl.) - you can flog the piss out of it and have a blast doing it?

i have riden them and hate them. They dont' handle well. I have ridden sport bikes since i got my license in 2004. I love putting leathers on and carving up back roads. Its the ONLY thing I have in my life right now that really makes me happy. I will not be satisfied with my only bike being some thumper or cruiser.

key word there is only. Now as a chick I am sure you have way too many shoes. Now you cant wear them all at once. Its the same with bikes, you need different ones for different occasions

HokieDNA01 · 08-08-2011, 01:36 PM

I have lots of shoes but only really wear one pair.

And I was clocked doing 141 in a 55. as I said before. Fuck me. I have never had a point on my licence before..shit I dont even jay walk.
