Considering the speed limit is 50 there it's a big concern :P I'd hate for two of us to get tickets.

"I don't need to outrun the copcar... I just need to outrun you."
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

:righton:.... if you meant big points with me.....:wink:

Don't think the cops would like that though....but I'm sure they would be fast with giving the both of us big points......the demerit kind!
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

Where I live we have some of the best twisty roads. The highway from Campbell River to Gold River is a classic. Lots of twists and turns. The first week I had my bike I decided I should get out there and try it. Well on the way out (all 90k's) I took it real easy but on the way back I found my comfort zone and really learned to "pull" the bike over in the curves. great feeling!!

I plan on getting over there in the not too distant future. I'll be sure to send a message ahead of time. Maybe you can be tour guide of the road. :)

I led a ride on the Sea to Sky highway yesterday. It is renowned for it's curviness.

It was wonderful for me to feel the difference from the first time I rode that to now. Yesterday was actually fun instead of "anxious".
