Like Guth I'm perfectly happy riding my motorcycles within the confines of the law +- 5 mph. For me choosing smooth lines, and maintaining my pace gives me more pleasure than seeing how fast I can go on the short straights before having to brake hard in order to safely make the next curve. Maybe it's the type of roads and curves I have to ride where I live, or maybe it's my age and the fact that years ago in my formative youth, I rode like a wild man and then one day became thankful that I survived that part of my life and decided it would behoove me to slow down some. At any rate I do know I'm happier riding now than at any point of my riding career, thoughly enjoying every single ride.I'm taking less chances, riding safer, well within my abilities, and in turn enjoying the ride more. I'm not riding at parade pace, but not at race pace either, more like Ferret pace lol.
