Ah don't worry man, it's not like that. Honestly I think it's just a matter of style difference. I bought my FZ6 because I wanted a comfortable bike to cruise on, because I don't quite feel at home on a Harley. My lack of experience aside, I'll never be the type to enjoy "aggressive" riding. I very rarely exceed the speed limit by more than 5-10mph and never for extended periods of time, just short bursts. I'm not in a position to be getting a ticket. I already have my deductible pumped up to $1000 to reduce my insurance premium, and I'd have a hard time justifying the cost if I ended up getting a serious speeding ticket or two. Not to mention I don't want to do anything to increase the chance of me wrecking my bike and getting hurt. If I wanted to ride aggressively I would have bought a R6. In the future I'll just make sure that I come to rides that have a few other people that share my riding style. All of the drama aside I did learn quite a bit from Sunday, which was my first group ride. Mainly that pre-ride communication is key. Secondly, and most importantly, I got a serious lesson on staying in my comfort zone. No one saw it, but I came in hot on the last corner in front of the church. I had to stand the bike up and lay on the brakes to avoid the huge black truck approaching the stop sign. It wasn't CLOSE but enough to put some sense into my head and remind me not to be an idiot.
