1 year reflection - is it time to slow down ?

[Stereo]

So yeah starting next year I need to find more ways to enjoy riding at legal speed (looking at scenery more maybe ) and that's my new year resolution I guess.

*chortle*

Watta load of shit Javs,

10 days ago on my first ride back after a real smack you were in my farkn back pocket through the twisties.

Yeh, I know I'm half as fast as I was.

You're a nutcase in sensible clothing mate, stop pretending. What you really want is to do is buzz Scotty, get round corners like Simmo, mono like Dan and two up like Rossi and come out at the end looking sensible.

Never gonna happen.

Just do it mate. (and stay safe)

I am in the same boat, and this is much of the reason I chose the VTR over (for example) a ZX9R. The twin is spectacular fun at low revs and as such you can enjoy the twists and turns in 80km/h zones without fear of instant license disqualification, and without the 'breakneck' upper midrange and top end there is no real urge to get "stuck in" and bring up huge speeds between corners.

You obviously aint riding that twin as the manufacturer intended, stop makin out it aint a balls out bike and ride it ya woose
Farkin poofy HonDeR riders

if your scraping your boots, you need to hang off the bike more, or adjust the levers


nothing wrong with giving it a little curry, so long as its 'safe to do so'

You're doing something wrong if your scraping your boots.

hey im not stupid, i ride a kwaka


unless your riding a cbr250 and have anything bigger than about size 7 feet, the the only way not the scrape boots is to hook your toes in... which i find is now habbit for me even 2 bigger bikes later

Duane, I'll go faster once I see ou in the rear mirror

Nova, yep like has been said it's all good fun until someone loses an eye Yeah that last Noojie ride was great tho I mean two J1's keeping up with gixxer thou and R1 DOES give you some sense of pride heh .

Ronster, that was dissapointing!! I used to put my head down and the ZZR1100 will smoke me to oblivion Did you remove two sparkplugs by any chance he..he.. But yeah I guess I won't be as good in "flying lesson" so better stop it while I can

Steve, I got a touring boot and it scrape less and less since the rubber bit gets thinner this also will stop soon before I scrape other body parts

It's all relative i guess, but I follow the folowing rule, which thus far has kept me alive, touch wood. 7/10ths on the road, 11/10ths on the track! And never confuse yr ambitions and yr abilities
