nice. im the weekend canyon carver and track day junky. i havent taken the gs to the track yet, i need to adjust the valves and when i ride canyons, i usually do malibu or ojai(33).
Commuting, sport rides, touring, the occasional track day, pretty much everything. On both the GS and the DRZ (though I have yet to do anything but commute and ride the interstate on the DRZ thus far).
commute and find any twisty road i can find in texas :)
I set on my Bikes and make Motorcycle Noises. :laugh: :laugh:

On the street with the GS usally go find some twisties, ride all over the Niagara Region here in Ontario, Canada. Wheely and do some stunt rides.
On the dirt with the YZ450F, race motocross in the Western New York Series. Practice and ride on any and all tracks that are available in the area. Used to ride trails but they are all developed now by rich people with golf balls for brains :2guns: . Oh and we hit freestyle ramps a bit too. Also wheely contests often come up :icon_rolleyes:.

dude, I mocked you for being a moron and crashing some one else's bike not once, but twice.... while the reason being you didn't have enough cash to fix your own bike after you screwed that one up.
Been mostly riding to work - that's a good 40 miles or so each way.
And sometimes finding a few local twisty roads for fun, too.
MMMM Commuting to work (only 4 mile round trip), commuting to school (12miles all round), girl friends (16 miles all round) and then just riding around with my dad occasionally. Going to races. No trackdays yet but when i decide to finally get a car instead of a bike i mite keep the bike and trailer it around and do track days since thats were it came from.

I commute 70 miles round trip work days, and we take mellow weekend rides. It's raining this weekend, so we're Christmas shopping and decorating instead. Maybe next weekend will be dry... :icon_mrgreen:

100% fun riding, I seek out as many crooked roads as I can find here in NE Ohio and play. I quit working so I could play all the time. :thumb: (J/K I'm retired)
Living in Hong Kong is really a bad, we have good tiwsty mt. road, I am sure you can have a really good ride,but we don't have a race track.
The neariest race track wouuld be 2 hours ferry away, and you have to go through the custom, which is a pain in the ass. And it is sort of expensive, an 8 hours track day will cost you around 500USD with a hire bike, normally CBR400 or NSR250.
Most of the race rent a parking lot at the race track, but it is really expensive.
Honda owner's club offers some bring your own bike track day, 3-4 times a year, but they only accept honda rider.
Anyway, a track day is going to cost me an arm and a leg.
But, I will still going to do some track day sometime
