Switching riding styles

[Sixxxxer]

I plan on doing a trackday this year.

Why would you think i wouldnt take it seriously? You guys have met me twice...and done nothing but belittle me for my hair color.

Frankly I dont give a fuck about that...(The hair color) but if you honestly felt that way then say something.

I dont have anything remotly close to the roads I've ridden in GA/TN/NC/SC where I live...PA is probably the best bet but I've not gone over to far into the state to ride.

I enjoyed myself at BOTH rally's and only Twice would I say i felt like I had an Oh shit moment and one of them I was following Trip who blew the corner just like Me.

If your gonna attack me...go for it...Better to know im not wanted around before I show up to another gathering

like I said take it how you will... if you really think we're just attacking you and not trying to keep you safe... awesome... I'll be sure to avoid riding at any rally you're riding at.

No i understand what your saying Brandon. It's just funny how it gets said after the fact.

I honestly would have no problem with someone saying hey...try this it might smooth your line out or hey do this etc etc.

And I was serious...I plan on doing a trackday with a buddy of mine. Maybe more if the funds allow it.

Except the whole part of when I told you to cool it when riding behind me or take off and go around me.

And I made sure I didnt do it again.

Dont worry, I got your point from your posts.

And I do infact appreciate the feedback.

If you take it to heart that would be great. I am not trying to be mean with those posts before, that's why I have refrained from saying ginger or other stupid shit we normally do. I don't want to see you or any other rider on this board take a spill. You have the ability to ride well, just need to get some leathers and try it out on the track with some instruction. You will see your speeds increase dramatically with much less effort than you are putting into it now.

I "blundered" into motorcyling more than a decade ago after helping a friend rebuild his GPZ750 Turbo. It was one of those "the universe is trying to tell you something" sorts of deals that had me start out on a P-o-S EX500 (Sportbike). Riding it in craped-out condition, rebuilding it, then learning how to ride it "right" put me in a place/mindset/experience-base to move onto an Aprilia Falco (Bigger, MUCH faster Sport Touring bike). Wrong. Big mistake.

I never knew I had an adrenaline junkie evil twin. Enough common sense, and a real "what do I really enjoy about riding" analysis led me to the proverbial Blue KoolAid (a.k.a. BMW). Its an odd thing to realize that your bike can be a reflection of your state of mind or happiness with life.

While a wonderful recreational bike, an R80 ('Standard'/naked motorcycle - also learning more and more about the mechanics of a motorcycle - it was a main engine bearings out complete rebuild project) was unfortunately not happy as a commuter bike in the Texas Summers. Through another one of those "universe is talking to you LOUDLY" things, I was lead to a K75S (Sport Touring Bike)- for me the "perfect" motorcycle: Enough sport to keep the 'junkie' entertained, yet tranquil and relaxed to just enjoy the ride and the day, and it won't overheat even on a 100+ degree day, sitting at idle (though your shins may be cooked to medium-well).

Some get off the street and onto the dirt. Some get off the dirt and onto the street. Some just migrate to a track. Some start out and stay on the street. Why do any of us ride what we do? You might as well analyze the logic as to why any of us have the friends/SO's/spouses we have as well.

Well we all know what happens when you assume.

Points been taken.

No worries
