Never really have been up for pushing it to the limit on the street after I spent some time on the track. "The limit" is just so much higher that it made street riding a bit boring to me. To each his own I guess. So.. Welcome to the site... if you decide to stay around a bit. If not hope things are well and you keep the rubber down.

Did real well, but was working back then, didn't have time to go "on the road" to make all the other tracks in that series... and so I had to wait for the races to return to
Moroso weeks and weeks in between(west palm beach)

Damn, boring...??? Tell me when was the last time you
got to run for miles on end through high speed sweepers
at 160-170 with your knee down...then tuck in and sit
side by side with 8 other 12s for miles of flat out
riding, trying to edge out the other bikes... It doesn't
get any better than that... you would have loved
the Montana/Wyoming roads we ran. We some in Arizona
like that as well... I just can't find anyone around here
to ride that hard.

...with speeds like that on the street, maybe they're scared....or just being 'sensible'...

Actually back then you had to ride a 600 until you earned
enough points to get your expert license, then you could
go to the bigger bikes. But the 600's actually had the
fastest times as Moroso has a lot of tight turns...
It was fun, no worries with no cops, but the track was/is
very dangerous as most of it is lined with concrete barriers
and hardly no runoff in the turns...
I'd rather ride flat out in the country than on a track
lined with concrete...

...and tired mom and pop in their RVs?...what about the inattentive 'other' users of the road?...how do you deal with or prepare for that?...I'm perplexed with your implied definition of 'fun', 'dangerous', and 'worries'...if or when you hit the non-existent 'run off' on public roads, there are no emergency personnel at the ready, is there?...hey, just wonderin'....

I do love most of the MT/WY/ID roads that I run every week. I've been known to top things out up here quite a bit, my old roommate runs a motorhead turbo'd busa that smokes me but... I run anyway.

Hey 238mph, sounds like this site might be a bit too tame for you. You're right, you probably should move on to find that true manly site you're looking for. But do me a favor first, could you give me your full name and social security number so I can go out and get some life insurance (about $1,000,000 should do) on you. I'm thinking you could make me a very rich man.
Oh yea, if you do decide to stay awhile, welcome and enjoy.

"You all ride like pussies" You are what you eat!
We ride pretty fast at the deals gap events (most of the time). I have been known to run from the man. I try to ride sensibly when in town or around areas there might be kids. But out of town I like to go WFO as much as possible.
Welcome to the board.If you decide this place is not for you remember:

hehe, harry sums it up nicely.
a few Qs though: single? married? mid-20s?
over onthat side of the country, make a few west-coast trackdays, they ahve some (supposedly) decent courses out there.
but remember: there are always deer, people, kids, grandma who can't see over the steering wheel, and some young punk in his ragged out camaro who thinks every curve is a nascar race and will run inside to inside, regardless of whose lane it is....
i'm sure you're an adult and have made all the risk choices with contingency plans. as such i hope that you have REALLY good medical insurance that will cover a getoff on the bike. otherwise, please DO make sure you get that coverage (part of the price of admission) as i (taxpayer) don't want to pay for your punk-ass' reconstructive surgery/rehab/feeding tubes/colostomy bags whenever you finally do meet your untimely dismount....
cheers!

I've seen his posts on Easy's board, I never had a problem with him. He does claim he can run the gap in like 8 minutes though. And I found this on The Tail of the Dragon
RECORD TIMES:
You will hear a lot about the fastest times on the Dragon. The original timing involved a run from the Overlook to the Crossroads of Time and then back, an 18.6-mile distance. The round trip time was then divided by two. The Deals Gap Riding Society record for an amateur rider was a 22 minute round trip run, which averaged out to 11 minutes (50.7 mph average). The overall record was 18 minutes, or 9 minutes one-way (62 mph average). In order to compete for a new record one had to make the run along with the current record holder.
Hummmm

Sheeeeeeetttt.....I did 7 minutes at the Gap on my SV 650 then ran Cherahola at 180 mph.
Outran the helicopter, too! Plus I had this bitch suckin my left nut the whole time - just to keep things interesting.
All you pussies need to eat me. You guys are soft, I tell ya - just like the limp dicks you all own.
Yup. Racing is too boring. Don't have time for that shit - I gots ta get mine all the time, where ever I can.
:rollingeyes:
238, welcome if you hang around. But, um, the boys here have a pretty small tolerance for bullshit. Be advised.
Keep the rubber side down.
