Thanks brother..

There's nothing like riding a speed bike, its just awesome, but I tell ya its easy to get that mentality, to where you start thinking and believing you're the fastest thing on the street.. in essence, you pretty much are.

yah, sounds good. i missed out.

i hear people saying that after so many yrs riding it gives them a false sense of security or something.

but for me, a scooter would be the slowest thing on the road so probably wont die from it unless someone ran me over with their golf cart or a deer decided to kick my face in for no reason.

dude, you know what. honestly, I'd rather be on a motorcycle than a scooter, and the reason I say this is because, if you ever had to speed off or brake hard to avoid being hit or hitting something, you can do that on a motorcycle, and not soo much on a scooter.

I've touched 177mph on a 2005 GSXR 600, I believe I topped it out, and let me tell you, I've NEVER experienced anything like that, it was unbelievable. I had spit running down my face as Im smiling looking down at my speedometer while watching the road.

There's a national forrest near tallahassee, (hwy 65). the straightway had to have been 10 to 15 miles. It was awesome.

dude, Im telling you, it was unbelievable... it was sooo fast, you literally feel like your floating, you dont feel the friction of the road anymore... (tire physically touching the road). The center line which was a broken line, but at that speed was literally a straight line with no breaks.
