Considering the speed limit is 50 there it's a big concern
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.

.... if you meant big points with me.....
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,
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".
