What he said has alot of truth. I wiped out last year and was messed up. I will still ride for sure this year, but not as hard. Even though I was pussy footin when I when down, I walk out of my garage every day and look at the rear tire and see no chicken stripe, and it make me think.
BTW, 240, if your buddys are squiding around running twice the speed limit with a new rider on someone elses bike, that isnt the pack of people I want to ride with. I hammer down alot too, but I pick my places and the guys I ride with either ride just as hard or harder as I do, or dont at all… but We allow them to catch up so they dont feel left out or like they have to ride above their abilities… its suposed to be fun, we arent making money racing on the streets yah know.
I am looking forward to getting out somemore this year with some new people. Last year I put almost 5Kmi on it. so I am happy with that.
