Maybe it's our raw male stupidity that helps us give retard level commitment to a corner? I know I don't have that kind of stupidity to go that fast, so maybe that's why people like Hayden make it to MotoGP.

I don't care who's ahead of me or behind me in terms of fastness. I only care that you're not going to be an asshat near me and endanger myself or others around me.
What I cannot STAND is guys that say "you're pretty fast....for a girl" Immediate douchebag in my eyes and I basically hear nothing but blah blah blah out of their mouth after that. |

depends on the group and the situation. At the track you bet your ASS I'm out to pass every guy out there. But that's different.

I hear pretty much the same thing: "you're pretty fast for an old guy, on an old bike." I just tell them "I had lessons." Which is true, but they don't realize the practice I put in, the maintenance I do to my bike, the hours I put in the gym to stay in shape, the research I do on riding, or how focused I am when I ride.

Best compliment I ever had was from an older sportbike rider. Him and another guy were leading, but stopped to let us slow people catch up. They fell in behind me. When we stopped again, the older guy told me I had good lines!
I had only just started riding the KZ, had spent the last three years on a Honda Shadow 600. It made me feel like Rossi. |
