I currently feel, there is something missing from this post.

Not me, my eyes are like as I fear being run over by a texting teenager or a 90 year old lady who can't see over the steering wheel. Also I freak out about oil drips and gravel in turns.

More like perfect day, perfect two-lane, winding road, zero overtaking opportunities... and people driving 10 mph under the already-conservative speed limit.

I understand what you mean, but I try to take road riding as a relaxing trip through the countryside most of the time. The alternative is driving a car, and nothing takes the boring prize more than that.

Get a Z125 instead, they rock!

My little Chibi is such a holligan while still being an efficient little errand runner. Love that bike.

I just got back on my bike last night and rode to work this morning. Felt good after a few days off the bike.

This reminds me of about a decade ago when I had a chevy pickup truck. One night I went to a go-kart track and getting back in the truck after that felt horrible.
At least after a track day, you're still driving the same vehicle.

Sparkcycle, you reminded me of the times I've driven a fork lift for a while, then gotten in my van and driven home. After the super-maneuverable rear wheel steering, a van feels very un-maneuverable!

Hahaha, true. One thing I notice is that I blow the same stop sign EVERY SINGLE TIME after I leave the track from riding/racing. I come up on it way too fast in my huge car, perspective is all changed and I'm like, OMG STOP. Hahah.

I'd say the z125 is the best street bike to get if you don't want to get arrested for hooliganism but even that has too much power for a true hooligan to stay out of trouble

Probably, but I only ride mine at the kart track and drag knee. I ride it to the Y to exercise once in a while but I don't partake in "stuntah rides".

I do same thing with stop-signs and stop-lights!!! Too busy looking for corner-workers and flags and don't recognize regular traffic-control devices!

I saw a cop pull over one of the little red (Honda?) bikes for popping wheelies; I was like I need one of those
