I'll be the first to admit...I'm a car guy that also happens to like bikes.

I drive better than I ride.

I am a good all around street rider...I have quite a bit of experience BUT I'm only so so in the twisties and I admit it.

When it comes to cars I've had training and have done track days...I even drive for a living. I've driven supercharged Vettes... Mustangs...Vipers...Porsche 911 Turbos and non turbos...Mercedes AMG this and that top of the line BMW's...Aston Martin's...and the list goes on.

I've never done a track day on a bike.

I've ridden enough that I have NO problem riding or controlling my R1 but again when it gets twisty....I'm mid pack or a little further back usually.

I actually like riding near the rear of groups because I know I've got common sense and know how to survive but I don't trust other riders unless I know them.

Ok I'm selling my bikes and sticking with fast cars and boats.

BS !!!!
