so much better than street riding, and so much better than being in a car!

Have you done any long distance touring yet? I really used to enjoy that a lot and I am sure you would get a kick out of it too. Dont let anyone tell you the 500 isnt enough bike to do it as you know how far and wide I went on my old 550.

i passed someone on a cbr600 f4i coming out of a series of corner yesterday (and an instructor on a EX500 was passing EVERYONE) so i am more than convinced 500cc is enough bike...
i don't know.. i wonder if i WOULD like long distance touring.. scraping up the lower fairing and the footpegs at the track was a whole lot more fun for me than the 2hr ride in a straight line to the track.. i think i would go bonkers anything more than 4hrs in one shot. maybe my perspective will change when i get on a more interesting (some combo of technical/scenic) road and not a straight interstate...

by the way, north western ontario has some amazing scenery to ride on... I saw bikers cruising from sudbury to wawa on all variations of bike (from trike to sport bike)...

this club didn't allow vid cameras. the thinking is that people are more likely to ride over their heads when the film is rolling. i don't think that's a bad idea since at least 3 people dropped that day.. one badly enough to require an ambulance ride

^^Then they're technically over their heads at that point anyways?
Anyways, it's good to hear you're having a good time out there.

yea if you drop that definitely means you were riding way way over your head...
believe it or not i was scared for the whole day.. i never went faster than 90mph on the straight since there was heavy braking down to around 40mph and a huge ass wall at the end!!! :ph34r:
