Re: My first motorcycle ride on the highway

You gotta pay to play but the best alternative is a racetrack. At least they can draft each other in a controlled environment and not endanger old folks like me. On a track they have clear areas to crash and slide to a stop. On a public highway if they loose control they might be looking at a death sentence for themselves or some one else. The highway has a bike lane for pedal pushers who wouldn't want to be hit by a speeding bike. Stuff happens when you least expect it. And yes, I am guilty of going fast there too but not at 2 times the limit. My Vstrom might have done it but not with me onboard. I found my comfortable limit at 50% over the posted limit and that was when traffic was very light on a weekday. Do I miss the rush.................hell yes but I'd miss my body being intact and healthy even more.
