You don't have to sit and watch long before you don't really want to ride the road.

This thread achieves that notion for me. I hear there are equally good roads nearby less traveled. Put them on my bucket list if I ever get to the US. And am allowed in..

Long as the holster on the rider's right remains empty, I'm fine with that.

I was there on Friday afternoon, the 21st. I guess no fail pics of me! But here is something tho......I am being followed by Mr, Moto,who is not right up my ass but not way behind either, He is the only one behind me,so I am keeping my eye on him. Again, he is not right on my azz so I am not sure if he wants to pass or not. I am aware I am not going warp speed so I will indicate that he can go ahead.

I slow down and move to the far right glancing in my mirrors to see if he is going to make a move. Nothing.....nothing....then it,s switchback time and I move over slightly in my lane,more to center but away from the inside and away from the yellow.

THEN Mr.Moto makes his move and scares the pants off of me by passing me in the corner, when I wasn't expecting it and when I had decided that looking forward was a better idea at that time.

I was pissed. I guess I forgot to do ALL 3, move over,slow down AND wave him by......geeezzz.


Mr. moto is in this thread.......

You really don't know what you're talking about, do you. There are riders who ride past their skill level on every kind of bike out there... A supermoto is not a "dirt bike" anymore than a Harley Sporster is a drag bike, and it's sure as heck a lot more forgiving of mistakes than a 800lb sled or a crotch rocket.
Those guys are up there to have fun, granted they could pick a better, less crowded road to do it on, but they're probably trying to get on Killboy's highlights, just like you would if you weren't from a flat state...

(Husky 630 rider here, but I don't cut people off and dive across lines. I do however pass rolling road blocks when it is safe, and, OMG!, put a leg out every once in a while in the tight stuff...)

Also, what percentage of the wrecks and fails in this threads are motards?
