When I had my Shadow 600, I rode it like a sportbike, going up and down the same set of twisties just to better my skills. I reached nirvana several times.
Yeah we can. On my way to the rally this spring I was wondering how much trouble I'd have keeping up with everyone on their sportbikes. But when we started riding I was totally relaxed within the first mile or two, not feeling like I was pushing my limits, but I was dragging everything on the bike the whole 5 days, knowing I was at it's limit but comfortable with it. I think I held my own for being on a 750lb cruiser, but I was zoned with the bike for sure.
