wow. pushed the superhawk harder then I ever have today

they ride fast. I knew that as I had ridden with them once before. for having < 1 years experience I think I'm doing well since most of them have at least 2 minimum. They'll get way ahead of me at parts just cause I know my limits right now and how much mentally I can take without getting nervous. Did have a few pucker moments in some blind turns (blind turns are the devil!!!) but wow coming out of a few turns hard on the gas it felt like a rocket ship. Specifically when I was going about 100 in some unkown gear at about 7-8k and wasn't accelerating too hard at that point then shifted to the next gear and holy crap it just picked up and took off even at those high speeds. granted nothing compared to the 1000rr that was lifting at 150 while riding 2 up

You only discover your limits when you push them.

Ride safe out there.

yeah I push a little but mentally if I get a lil nervous I have to slow for a few. I'm not gonna let it turn into a big dick contest and try and keep up with them. I do my best but if they get into the distance then so be it

Isn't that a bumper sticker?

...Doesn't discovering your limits on a bike = a get off?

That's discovering the pavement.

Discovering your limits in small progressive increments will generally keep the pavement gods at bay.
