Which one?

[DRKWNG]

No?  And what is?

[MadDuck]

Damned if I know at this point.

I figured that after yesterday's ride you would be looking more and more to the 750.

Possibly, though I wouldn't have done the Dillingham blast regardless of which bike I would have been on for the same reasons I don't gas it around Norfolk. Crapping in your own yard, or something like that.  I guess I'm having to really take stock of what direction I want to go in motorcycling and how much I want to spend. This afternoon if you were to ask me "Which bike, not counting the Monster, would you get?" I'd say the 750. Our bunch yesterday was fairly roudy. Fun? Yes. At times. Sometimes the fun goes way against better judgment and I'm not sure if that's fun anymore. The fun line shifts like tide marks so it's hard for me to draw a line until I'm in the moment. I thought I saw the Sport Classis shaking a bit in some of the straight line runs and I know my Monster was near to it's limit at times. Maybe it has a lot to do with the limit of the machine too.

That old bit about it being more fun to ride a slow bike fast than riding a fast bike slow. I disagree. Personally I have, and can, take a slow bike and wring it out. Even when I was running against other equally slow bikes it wasn't usually that much fun straining the engine, the chassis and the brakes. If you're racing in a certain class then that's just the way it is and it is fun. If I'm just out horsing around on the streets I have much more fun knowing that I'm well within the performance parameters of the bike.

No kidding.  The pace was a wee bit high at times.  And at other times it was a wee bit too fast; hence why I backed off after I did my Rossi impression. 

But seriously, a few of those guys seem down right dangerous at times.  Like when the guy on the older CBR almost took out the newer CBR when he tried to turn towards Haleiwa.  Also, the one guy (I can't remember any of their names) with the long hair seems to have a thing for diving under people once they commit to a turn.  Fun for some I guess, but also dangerous for all...

Roger.  Stored in my "people not to ride with" file.

Would those people be Ben & myself?  (Sometimes the two of us could be the pot calling the kettle black) -- Or would it be some anonymous sport bikers? Have you met those guys? The group we're talking about is different from the groups you've ridden with.  They're all baaaaaadddd.

I am frequently tempted to go faster, and occasionally to pass in a turn, but I am usually able to control those urges.  It sucks that we don't have a track, but that doesn't make riding like an ass any more acceptable.  I guess there are times, when there is little to no traffic, when it ain't sooo bad.  Shit, I just want it all.  Or I don't know what I want.  I need a nap.

Sounds to me as if you want it all to come while napping.

Hey! Join the club! Awake or when napping, no matter. And, to top it all with, (besides bad grammar) I'll still ride like an ass sometimes, traffic or no traffic. It's the sperm of the moment.

[DRKWNG]

That's nasty. 

And on a slightly lighter note;  I stopped by South Seas to see if they had any decent rear stands that would work for the SC and while there, Scott told me that the Matt Fox bike is still buried in the back somewhere.  lol

That is extremely hilarious! LOL! Serves them right. ........... And so, your new SC, ques qa c'est? (I think I murdered that  )

Was sprichst du?  Das kommt mir Spanisch.

[MadDuck]

It's supposed to be ques ce c'est avec votre SC? (What's up with your SC?) And don't give me any of this Spanish stuff!

[DRKWNG]

Spanisch? Nein!! Ich spreche Deutsch.
