My heart pumps and my sphincter muscle tightens nearly every time I ride .................I believe it's called adrenalin rush ...................created by a fear factor that then creates a respect factor.
This respect factor I have for something I love with a passion is what constantly reminds me of how much it can (and will) also hurt me the minute I lose that respect.
This is what I truly believe (along with destiny) has kept me alive thru these past thirty plus years of riding.
In essence guys you must respect what these hyper bikes are capable of and how quickly they can drag us mere mortal riders into a depth than can lead to disaster. No matter how experienced or how well one rides .................a simple missed downshift at the wrong time on the wrong piece of road is all it takes .....the price is very high.
Over the years I have lost many friends and it saddens me to see a weekend like we have just had, where people and fellow riders whose company I have enjoyed shall never ride with me again in this life.
Ride safe and with respect, your bike is like a dog .........mistreat it ......and have no doubt it will bite you ......HARD
