All you guys say you need to push it to have fun on a sportbike or you feel like your wasting the bike's potential.

Maybe bc i dont have the great riding roads closer to me and NJ is flat as a 12 year old girl?

Everytim I go down south I fall in love with my bike all over again.

Dude, all you did at the rally was ride as fast as possible.

Nope. I'm one of those too. I don't need to go fast on the street to enjoy it. I just don't want to go too slow (under speed limit) that I get bored and start falling asleep (which has happened many times, especially during poker runs).

I think it was more riding to impress people... even at the first rally...

funny thing did the opposite for me... just made me wanna be as far away as possible

Thats what you think of me...Honestly I wasnt pushing myself nearly as much as I COULD have...Frankly I dont have the desire to.

We were riding at a pretty spirited pace on certain parts of the ride...I enjoyed it but I could've pushed it further than I really did.

And on blood mountain I was asked to go a bit faster when I was 2up...but again I wasnt pushing it hard or feeling like I NEEDED to go faster to enjoy myself.

I wasnt trying to impress anyone. Even though I already know your going to rebutle with "yes you were ginger this blah blah blah"

Seriously dude, you can't fucking lie to me or anyone at the rally. The first rally, it was just ridiculous. You rode above your head several times that I am aware of. None us at the rally are fucking idiots when it comes to riding. You have no control, no lines, extremely poor body position, and enough arrogance to think you know how to ride well.

You really need to go to a track day in novice and LISTEN to the instructors. NOT A SINGLE PERSON AT THE RALLY WANTED YOU BEHIND THEM. You just plain ride unsafe for any of us to be around.

Maybe you can use this as a wake up call and invest in learning more control.

as Trip said... you rode above your head... yes, you may have ridden faster... doesn't mean safely.


honestly I can't speak for everyone. but the rally was more about having fun riding WITH ya'll not pushing it... shit Trip, Kyle, Drewpy, Derf... and quite a few others can fuck'n haul ass... I'd have no chance...

all I can say is from inside my helmet, you didn't appear safe, and I made sure I kept extra following distance and always knew where you were.

take it how you will... but the whole " your a ginger blah blah blah" is exactly why I never said anything... because knew you wouldn't take it seriously... I just hoped you'd scare yourself just enough that maturity would kick in and cause you to be safer (notice I didn't say slower)
