Been thinking about asking this here or not. Not sure whtr a good idea to post this question, but just curious about other riders. Because every time i ride with faster riders, i am kind of riding at my limit even thou i am trying to "ride my own ride". And it is not un common for me to have at least one "oh shit" moment which thankfully never ended up bad. and i see and hear others also having at least one "scary" moment during their ride. Is it needed to test our limits to improve our skills? or is it just wise to go out and ride a pace you enjoy and have just good fun? (which i prefer these days) What do you guys do, keep riding harder and improve the baseline? or try to stay status quo? I know according to majority the best answer is going to be do track days, which believe me if i get an opportunity i will jump into it. Just wanted to know how many already had a bad or worse exp? my assumption is more than 90%. Now be honest when you answer the poll, no one sees what you vote for, you can chose multiple option. i know its a ridiculous masala mix of a poll

hope you heal fast, take care

weekly bump also .... actually the warranty is there till 2015 get a used bike with total peace of mind

hbd

did you come to know about ohio riders through vfr forums video by any chance?

hahahah one of the writers in south park must be a rider or a genius may be both...... or does every one notice these nuances of motorcycle world

Oh my brother, same kinda bike, same kinda routes we need to meet up. We usually ride these areas. But moderate pace if thats okay with you hahahah

cool, hope you guys took pics nd videos, it doesnt happen often. Was the group from here?

your neighbor is gonna be so pissed when he sees you use it the very next day

crazy

seriously i thought the tires blew or something, coz i have experienced tar snake slides, but not to this extent where i slid right across the mid line into the left lane. thank go we were not booking it down the road at that time, hence i could hold on while it slid away. once that section of 646 is over its so much fun.

link you need rehab from miles, you do it too much. You do like 200 miles to the meet point for a 250 mile ride lol

back home safe, put on 320 miles..by god thats testing limits for me, after finishing 200 miles late last night. I wonder how do these guys do so many miles back to back. well the route was tiring as well, need full attention all the time and those two just kept pulling away. man did we end up in crazy roads which even adv riders might fear lol but overall it was an awesome ride. again thx for jerry for leading... paul might be pissed off at the lost route ride haha but i guess we always end up doing this and its fun in its own way.

i am thinking he might have been thinking we are trying to retaliate and planning something by being around his house ( which at that point of time i am assuming bikerboy didnt know) anyways i know i might be doing the wrong thing by not reporting etc, but i just want to forget about this and enjoy the rest of the riding season and from now on will always be careful about such situation and will pass only when i can do it in an eye blink

glad ur okay and the best part is you rode home, we were in that area today. great roads but dangerous

It's a beautiful day, don't miss out go out and ride some where every one

Thx for the wishes guys,

like i said might be a total misunderstanding from my part

plate, address every thing bikerboy has, but i dont want to make matters worse. So we left things as it is and just got home.

yea thank god, it was a beautiful day to ride and we put in like 190+ miles and boom this happens at the end. Now no euphoria from the ride ...just this scary thought what if this turned out bad.

While coming north through route 170, We are tagging behind this pick up truck waiting for an opportunity to pass, after some twisty roads end, there comes this straight portion (not even double yellow)... as i initiated this move to pass i can feel him trying to speed up...but by this time i am already on left lane beside him.... and then...this guys starts coming into the midline.... thank god i was on lower gear and power in reserve..i flip the throttle hard and pass and on rear view mirror i can see him swerve on to the left hand side of lane barely missing me. May be the whole thing is a weird imagination of mine.... coz i honestly dont want to believe people like that exist on the very road we drive or ride. after this he continues to speed up right behind me on the straight way as much as he can .. as if trying to run me over from behind..at this time we must both be doing waaaaay above the speed limit ( i dont wana say how much) .. i wanted to slow down and let him pass...but half of my mind is saying if i slow down he is gonna run me over... he kept at it till the next series of turn come along and then he got left behind. Bikerboy was behind this whole process watching what happened. and then some stuff happened between him and this guy which he needs to elaborate, ( thats even more drama.. lets say he comes out with a dog) Never imagined this would happen when i saw that old famous "bike vs pick up youtube video" . Wish he had a go pro on his bike at that time. Any ways hopefully people are not weird and homicidal like this and it was just a mistake.
