I know uve owned bikes before but the whole I’m going to do 180 mph within the first 10 mile mentality is what ends up leading to a high death rate at the bginning of the season. take your time and learn your bikes, learn the brakes… bottom line, if you’ve never tried to stop as fast as you can from the speed that your traveling then you have no business going that fast. I’m tired of hearing about accidents and having to bury my friends.

be safe and let me know about nyirp… it may be a while for me, I’ve got a plug in my tire as it sits right now ;( stupid buffalo roads
