  1. Well I feel sorry for ya man. Buells are expensive and it sounds like yours is a little anemic for your size, but to each his own. My point is I want some acceleration that I can really feel. I want something scary. I also want it to be controllable tho. No point in having all that power if you can't put it to use.

    scary AND controllable. GL

  2. Ive planned it out for either the 20th or 21st depending on which day we can get more people. I have mapped out the route and we have a very there are minimal turns on the way there so people can go back the same route or we can take a more scenic route on the way back. This is to keep the group numbers large as possible. I have a definate 5 people that are comming so far, all different class riders. We will ride in groups and wait for people at certain points, this is NOT the road to prove yourself or try and one up a friend. Here is the route of the day, let me know who can come in this thread. Itd be great to get a group of 10 people or more.

    this is a DAY trip. So be prepared to stop for water very frequently because these are not easy roads. Alot of us have ridden them quite a few times but some are newbies when it comes to this road so there will be a pace for you to fit in to dont worry.

  3. It is legal in most of europe. Happens way more often than you think. You can kind of tell by how the guy is going down the middle of the freeway at speeds and only 1 person honks lol. In america if that happened it would cause a 500 car pile up because for some reason most drivers here dont understand how wide their cars are and think there toyota prius is a assault tank's width. He scraps a car at around 5:25, and ALMOST wrecked at 4:06 ish. I think it would be funny if that was his comute to work at mcdonalds or something.

  4. Don't know the facts but I would guess there is more people dying in cars than on motorcycles. It's just when its a bike most people say the guy on the bike was prolly being a idiot.

    yea but in accidents, a person in a car is less likely to be fataly injured or become a vegetable. Dont you think ?

    I agree with the de stress thing to it is a great stress reliever, it kind of erases every thing else in your mind for the time being, because you concentrate on your surroundings and dont let your mind run wild.

  5. Does this make sense to anyone else? I ride because i like the feeling and its amazing. I dont quite get the same feeling as i do in a fast convertable. But risk reward, i am hearing more and more people say that they dont want to, and know it would be fun but they cant risk dieing...i hear that and i kind of cringe but are they really that far off? Im thinking the chances are higher and higher with every crash that in the future bikes could very well get banned off the track.

  6. The second one is the reason i make all passengers im with wear full gear at all times, i could never live with myself if that happened to me. Kind of like making my passengers in a car wear their seatbelts. Does it really hurt to ask?

    RIP Rider, thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
