I went riding last night since it was a wonderful day out and the night was even better. Wasn't cold and the cool crisp air was perfect for riding. While out riding before I meet up with Matt(N4S) I decided to say the hell with it and just open it all up. I am at a rolling start when the light turns and I lay down on the bike and just go. Reaching 130 and then 140 and finially 150. I was felling the wind blow over my back and she was screamin to go faster. Finally reaching 158 and looking forward to the bend in the road I let off the throttle and slow down. God did that feel awsome.

Later Matt comes over and we go out riding. He and I are doing 130's and 140's. Last night was a great night for riding. At one point there was just way to much $hit blowing across the road but didn't stop us. Well, I slowed down a bit to be sure but then picked the speed back up and we were at it again. I am going to dislike having to park her for the winter. But atleast I was able to go out and riding her like she likes to be. :dthumb:

No. We go back and forth all the time. Just depends on how hard we are really wanting to go or how bad we really want to pass the other. We ride to have fun.

we know what each other will do, and when they do it, so we're comfortable with riding it wide open whenever we feel the need..

Santa better do some really good shopping around to get all of that. If not by x-mas...by spring time is all that matters if Santa can't bring all of it at once.

True true

Take an example from Benton Harbor MI though.... some cops would rather see you wreck/die than let you get away!

Not tryin to sound like a nancy, I am just waiting for a track day to test my bikes limits. No cops, no a-holes, no cages, no gravel, no roadkill piles. I try to keep it under 130 or so on public roads, and thats only on open stretches. Too many "that was too close" moments over the years.. mostly on my old bike that topped out at around 115-120 and handled like a yugo...

Prolly won't be able to get on the track til spring though

same here, Im lookin forward to a track day in the spring as well.. I can't wait, I've never done one before.

those "too close for comfort" moments do come from time to time, I admit that!

Scariest by far that I have had have all been with nature.... deer, never hit one, but came within inches on a couple occasions...where I had to make a split second decision on right or left of it, and I've guessed right so far... but my luck isnt good enough to push it too much.

Yep! In my perfect world, animals would look both ways before crossing the street, roads would never get potholes, and gravel wouldn't exist!

I can deal with the rest of the obstacles we all face every day!

Yeah, that was fun...we went riding till like, 1:30 I think it was..just out having a blast. We were passing each other left and right..first him, then me, then him, then me. The first jaunt we did down Rt. 30, I only hit about 120 or so, then on the second, I got up to 140 and still had plenty of throttle left, and then backed off with the upcoming bend and traffic up ahead. :here:

Yeah we had a blast alright ! Hoping to get a couple more of those in before the season is out...hey, my birthday is coming up soooooo.

My birthday is coming up too - when is yours? Mine is Nov. 16.

Speed rules. I started the bike today and although it is rainy and cold I so wanted to go hit triple digits...
