They gotta catch you first!! Cool

I keep the front wheel down most of the time, don't blitz traffic, and keep it under a C-note for the most part. I live for scratchin' the pegs on twisties in light traffic. No chicken strips on the back tire and only about 1/4" on the front.

So your dragging the pegs of your triple on public roads eh?  I have riding buddies like you.  We keep our fingers crossed for our friends that think they can predict what traffic will do.  Cool

Traffic's not usually my problem as I keep strict rules about staying in my lane and I don't go that aggressively in traffic. My usual routine is to pre-run a section of road that I like to ride aggressively looking for fuel/oil/coolant/ATF spill, loose gravel and other such hazards. Once I'm comfortable with the pavement, then I'll pickup the pace, traffic allowing. I may run the same section of road 2 or 3 times until I get a good run through it.

Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not disagreeing with you about the dangers of the road. Even without traffic, if I low or (shudder) high side, it's the stationary "furniture" on any roadway that's gonna get me. I have a sticker on my helmet that reads "It's not the speed, it's the sudden stops!" I need to get the bike out to the track for a trackday.

I'm pretty lucky to live in a big state with long twisty country roads. Not to mention Big Bend national park.  Wink
So aren't the roads in Michigan pretty crappy for the most part?

Southeastern Michigan (Detroit area) is pretty flat, but there are some nice roads in a few parks and along some rivers. Unfortunately those are usually residential areas so pedestrians are a concern. Northern Michigan is beautiful with all kinds of curvy highways through the woods. When I ride locally, I've taken to finding "Technology" Industrial parks. These are usually nicer buildings in half wooded areas with curvy roads. It's upscale factories. No ones ever in them on the weekends and I run around them like it's a track.

I live in Washington and we have lots of roads that are great for riding. No problem finding twisty sections. Only major problem is that it takes a while for all the gravel to be swept up or brushed off the road by traffic after winter is over. Went from Post Falls, Idaho... up through Lolo pass and then up to Kalispell Montana and back one summer. It was a nice 2 an a half day ride. I got up to 105 with my Sportster before the corner made me slow down. And was pretty much always scraping the pegs through all the turns.

Never saw a GW rotated like that! That's crazy!!

We used to have a Triumph sponsored stunt rider that would come to the local dealer here and do exhibitions. He could yank a Triumph Rocket up like that, but he said you had to change the fork seals alot because the landings were so rough on that heavy of a bike.
