I tend to ride a very popular mountain road and am always bumping up against traffic and waiting to pass or waving thank you as someone pulled over. One evening, I had the pleasure of a completely empty road all the way from valley to summit. The speed limit is 45. I found myself doing 50-55 and was feeling perfectly content.

I found that it is not speed or lack of it that makes me happiest. Its being smooth and consistent. Going just five over the entire length of the road was an absolute blast! Maintaining a steady pressure on the throttle and never needing brakes felt like I was sailing on ice. One of my best rides!

Agree, agree, and agree! I love taking my little Ninja into the dirt, gravel, or playa.
