rollnhot Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 If you have to go 400mi. in six hours or less then hit the slab. If not then leave a couple hours earlier and take the two lane, that turns a trip into an adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't mind freeways, I did LA and back riding 95% freeway...i got a good stereo on my bike though, and a corbin, so it's kinda like a high performance convertible to me...

Lost1888 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Beside the fact I ride a standard, much like Issac's papa I typically avoid the slab like the plague. It does come in handy for those got to get there quick days. Usually only when I'm on my way back from a ride or on my way to a ride. The freeway doesn't count as a ride, mindless (unless in traffic.) Way to boring. Plus I always want to pin it and go as fast as possible because I hate being there. Hell, the Sv only does a buck thirty tops and that's just not that fast and the motor wants to So going fast on the freeway just ain't worth it, no way. Woop, woop.

wantahertzdonut Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I don't minde it but but it stinks with a passenger. I ride the interstate every day I go in to work so I'm used to it, but straight lines on a sportbike seems like a waste. I only take it if I have somewhere to be.Now, if our interstates were like the eastern PA turnpike or WV turnpike, the slab would be much more interesting.

TenTwelve Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I didn't have a problem with it when riding a naked/standard and I still don't have a problem with it on a cruiser (sans windshield). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvinzoom Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I only use the interstate if I am in a hurry to get someplace. Straight lines and motorcycles are not meant to mix unless your on a drag bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I don't mind the freeway much faster to get where I'm going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgt89 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I hate it... I don't have enough power to get out of trouble on my bike. At 75mph its screaming along at 7500 rpm. And its boring as shit. Riding in traffic during the morning commute it's fun doing battle with the cages, but an all day ride hundreds of miles on the interstate sucks. Sometimes you've gotta do it to get to the good riding though. I don't mind 700 miles of interstate when i get rewarded with twisty mountain roads when i get there.

Scruit Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm the opposite. I don't mind lots of slab if I have somewhere to be - but I'd rather carry a gun pointed at my pecker than slab it at commute time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I dont mind the interstate when I have a longer drive. like yesterday when i had to go from Minster to Marysville, about an hour, because my GF RAN OUT OF GAS AND FORGOT HER CREDIT CARD on her way to columbus. so I had to get there asap. and the wind yesterday was terrible I was leaned over most the ride.
