    Riding 7 out of 10...

    i have slowed down and ride a max of 6 or 7 out of ten. one of my mates is dissapointed because he really liked trying to catch me, but for some reason i cant justify the unneccessary risks of dedicating myself fully and giving peolpe races on the road. am i going soft?

    ive looked at my tyres and i havent been leaning it very far. i seem to find pleasure in hanging off and making relatively quick progress instead of going nuts. why the hell would this happen? im becoming a pussy

    Welcome to motorcycling. I think you may make a biker yet. (Yes, I do remember you've been round for a while. But that was as a bikiboi.) Now, start enjoying riding for its own sake

    Well done.

    Yep, agree with that. I reckon this is what Katman is trying to get riders to realise

    It sounds like you have discovered the joy of motorcycling. Speed is not the be-all and end-all. There is a whole sweet package of skills that make riding a pleasure. Enjoy every moment.

    The pace you've 'slowed down' to sounds like a smart pace - THE PACE
    Lon gmay it continue and may many more find THE PACE.
