I am bringing this thread back from the dead for two reasons:
#1: I read this for the first time today and giggled nearly the whole way through it.
#2: I thought this was really telling, because his mentality is exactly the thing I struggle with on the street. Sure, the track is fine, but a bendy twisty gravel road, lined with trees and a 2" shoulder will elicit a smile on my face quicker than any other.
Sure, I'm not a motorcyclist, (yet, as some of you would say) but this spirit of raw speed, wrestling with your machine to go ever-faster is pretty prevalent in all motor enthusiasts, not just bikercycles. So I thought it was interesting, and fun to read, and nobody replied to this thread anyway.
(Also, and I read this elsewhere today, and was going to post it in a new topic but decided to search first to avoid being a Really Entertaining Possibly Obnoxious Showboat Tallywhacker.)
