Riding slower sure has its advantages.

Ive concluded that kicking anything on the move requires tremendous skill and physical aptitude. In 20 years of biking I have managed to miss 3 dogs, a gang member, a road cone(dont ask coz i dont know how I missed that)

you suck!!! I nailed at least 5 cones in a row (don't ask tho - I broke an expensive indicator bulb for my effort), ran over a duck 2up (mate had sooo much faith in me, he said he thought we would crash), hit a few mirrors while splitting (and the odd car), but missed a dog... practise mate, practise

Good to see you enjoying your bike again Beyond, do what the specialist tells you eh, so you can be back properly, but with full strength

Yeah, having not ever been 'fast' I suppose you can't make the comparison.

Liar.
I've seen length of your limbs. You have to actually stop and get elves to pull your legs off the pegs and out from underneath you.

I have, I hit at least 130 on the motorway the other day.

Glad to see you back up and running... Maybe I'll be able to keep up with you next time .... Oh you said slower not rediculously slow, my bad! LOL.

I have no experience at riding fast, but I have never been bored riding slow either. In fact, if people can get bored at any speed whilst on a motorbike, then I think they have other 'issues', and it's not about riding. Lots of people want our speed limits raised, but one of the reasons NZ is so great for riding bikes, is that our roads are narrow and twisty.

It is amazing how much gas one saves when riding the limit!! At times during my trip I told myself to slow down and enjoy the scenery - which I did do quite a bit - but I had to have the odd adrenalin buzz here and there.

[Squeak the Rat]

Riding slow is a different mindset to going fast.

Fast is adrenaline, slow is more zen.

Was good to catch up with you fellas at Kawakawa bay the other day on short notice.

Good to see you back on the 1400 Paul, looked like you havent had a single day off it!
