whoops.
didn't think we were riding all that fast. most of the way on marsh creek and morgan, I kept it close to the limit.
it wasn't until that speed demon on the goldwing passed me that we started to haul ass! :rofl

and we weren't really riding "aggresively". like you noted, we have more experience, so our comfortable speed on any given road is a little faster than yours. we didn't wait very long at the stop, you weren't going that slow.

Yeah you have a lot of riding exp and you were riding "more agressive" compared to my skills lol. After seen how fast you can corner and stuff - i feel like i dont know how to ride very well lol

Let us know when you go out again, I'll go for sure if the day is sunny and I have no plans or work. Im just starting out im about three months in as I have mentioned but have progressed at an impressive rate (I tend to pick things up faster than most). I know there is much to learn though and am humbled by all this. Just hopped on 580 freeway yesterday doing 65mph to 70 from Richmond Parkway/Great Highway all the way to Central Ave to Point Isabelle dog park and back. Made my first lane chage to overtake a truck and tanker truck on the right lane :)

I am strictly speed limit to slow down dude though, especially in twisties ill tend to slow down more as far as I have seen myself riding so far. Blind curves I am definetely slowing down but I will still keep my throttle open.

Plus we both have 250's the ninja and the cbr, how cool is that :)

Yeah man I will be doing another ride soon ;D good to see you are picking it up pretty quickly, it took me awhile to learn to ride ( i havent done a lot of twisties tho, mostly ride on freeway )

No, I was saying it sounds like you got ditched.

It also sounds like it was a fun ride. Hopefully it'll stay dry over winter break so I can actually meet some other riders and ride :)

Oh I see, that makes sense ;D - i need to learn to ride better lol
