> Almost bought jay’s 600rr but didnt feel like dieing from ppl not knowing how to drive there cars. Seen 3 car/bike accidents last year and the 4th accident killed the guy right in front of me when the civic in front of me was going around a turn on the cellphone and went over the yellow line hiting the bike head on. killed him, the 2nd bike skidded to hit that car and the 3rd was far enough behind to stop jump off his bike and run over to bike#1. NEVER want to see that again. and it was the guy i work with’s brother that died ☹  
> Also i just dont trust myself on a bike. had my cousins 600rr over a weekend in the summer (only have my permit) and rode with a couple other ppl. idk… after going past great escape down that hill at 110 scared the shit outta me with nothing protecting me.

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.
