    Jim you know exactly why I want the answer. You should know why I want it more than anybody.

    I post these questions for others to learn from. Not that I don't hope to benefit, because they are my true questions the more that I ride.

    I want to know the motivation that "we" have". I want to know why we blow turns at uncaring speeds with no supposed consequence on the other end??? Really???

    I want to know why we, as sportbikes, feel the need to blow turns out of the water on the "street"?

    And furthermore, I want to know that if I'm missing something, why am I not willing to do it? Why won't I follow you or anybody else at fucking insane paces? Why are you guys so damed fast in those blind faith turns? What the heck makes me think harder in each turn as though I have something to lose that you don't?

    1.i think this is different for all of us. some like the ability to have control at such levels, others like the loss of control, and some just like the rush, ect ect.


    2. not just sportbikes, but cars, trucks, cruisers ect. too.


    3.you simply havent found the reason for yourself to do so. you may find it or you may not. its up to you and entirely fine either way.
