I'm gonna tell Pete you said he was old. :bonk:

I respect Pete and Jerry for their smoothness more than their speed. I've seen fast riders that are herky jerky, they scare the hell outta me. Watching a rider than can carve with smooth lines, that gets the panties wet. :D

are you hinting that your next handbag will be a nice green shade of envy?

I don't think there is anyone more smooth/fast than CNI. That guy is a machine.

I notice this quite a bit. Some guys are fast because of a complete lack of common sense....and they just haven't crashed yet.

In my area, some of them have crashed and they just don't care. Their bikes are trashed, but they are ungodly fast.

That is exactly my excuse too!!! When we got back from our first Gap run and Trip, Shane and Riceaholic were WAY faster than me... I just figured that they were stupid and that made me feel much better! :lol:

No way...I WISH !! :yes:

No I work in executive protection/executive support and am the driver for the Chairman/CEO of a very large corporation.

Now having said this...I work for some high rollers and get to drive their cars and at times am asked to take a car out that they are thinking about purchasing and "test it" and give them my feedback. Rough job (the car testing part) but somebody has to do it. :lol:

It's true, I always feel absolutely retarded after I make a gap run, but it's fun at the time. :lol:

my perception of myself as a rider: nothing spectacular, fairly conservative, has made mistakes and learned from them

:shrug:
