The true beauty of this motorcycle. (another LONG read)
I’m sure the laws are the same, but reading the forum and one brief experience riding in the US, the enforcement of speed limits seemed way more relaxed there.

Anyway, I guess my point is that overtaking in 5th has never been a problem for me and I can’t recall threatening the rev limiter. I’d have thought that in the higher gears the 112 mph speed limiter will kick in first.

Look forward to hearing from both of you about Sunday’s experiences.

The ‘gawd, she’s beautiful’ thing is a problem. What if she’s beautiful but loves most of what you hate? What if you continue to be tormented by her beauty but grow to loathe everything else about her? I feel for you. She works for me. I’m lucky, I guess.

But I think too that Ferret follows the old NASCAR saying that sometimes you have to go slow to go fast.

He’s way more skilled than me. And I’m in awe of how he complies with that NASCAR saying!
