Good for you!  Did you practice anything?  Emergency stops?  Countersteering?  Looking through the turn?  Rolling on the throttle smoothly through the turn?
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I went around my neighborhood for about ten minutes before I got up to speed...

I actually went home during my lunch break (30 minutes) and got my bike. :icon_mrgreen:  I'm happy now...  I'm also gonna ride to work tomorrow morning too, because it's gonna get to around 59 tomorrow.

I just woke up, checked the weather report, and it stated that an hour ago (7am) it was 43 outside!!  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  That means bike day today!

Ugh. It's too damn hot today. If my bike was running I would have to bust out the mesh jacket. I am kinda envious of you northerners right now...
