Moto-Brian Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Since I am th notorious dick of the board, I'll say what everyone is afraid to say - yes, quit. Do everyone a favor and stop riding motorcycles. Easy. Done.Now, if you want to stop with the 3rd grade chick drama, you can listen really close - TAKE YOUR BIKE AND RAISE IT BACK TO STOCK AND LEARN TO RIDE BETTER. Street riding isn't going to do shit for you. You can ride 40k miles a year on I71 from Cleveland to CBus for work everyday and you won;t learn shit.Get into a performance class of some sort or calm the fuck down and act like a humble guy who needs to learn shit. Less talk, more listen when around the better riders.Otherwise, lock the thread down and sell your bike and pick up golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 So I'll derail this painful thread with an honest question.... What happened to the mainstream V-Twin Litre Bike? Other than the Italians, the Austrians, and the SV, who else currently makes one? And why did everyone else stop? If this derail is too much for everyone to handle, please feel free to drop an insult regarding Scottie in response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to argue with you there, it doesn't matter if you're faster than I am, I'm fine with the pace at which I ride for the street. I can tell you for a fact that I do get better almost every time I go out on some twisty roads. The past 3 weekends I've been down a couple of the same roads, and my turn-in is much better, less standing on the brakes coming up to the curves. I wish I had thought to track the time spent on segments to see how I'm really doing.One day I will start doing track days, but probably not for a couple years, due to having a growing family. These little guys aren't cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bike wasn't lowered, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 yea i know the feeling about getting better, i just ride to have fun. Im not trying to compete with you so sorry if thats how it comes out. Your still a fast rider, and better rider than i because you can ride the CSBA roads in the corners faster than i can. I just dont feel confident enought to speed through turns i dont know like you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 i know its the rider not the bike, i just want something that is lighter and less sluggish to turn. mmmm how can i put this??? im just looking for something different.

I just dont feel confident enought to speed through turns i dont know like you can.I'm not claiming to be faster or better, maybe safer though. Early on this season, I scared the crap out of a friend that's a veteran rider, on his ZX6R, while I was on the 250. It was mainly because he didn't know the roads, but honestly, I didn't know them all that well either. I tend to ride a little harder when I have someone else with me.

scottie.harris Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 same, thats why i liked when someone is in front of me because i have almost a guidence to where the roads gonna go. Unlike danballa who cheats using gps (even though i want one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike danballa who cheats using gps (even though i want one).More important than knowing where the road goes, I liketo see the lines that more experienced riders take through the curves.

NinjaNick Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 i never did 140, the kat basically doesnt really go past 130(not much difference i know), but country roads that are closed off.I wish they closed country roads for me to ride on too.
