After 8 years is the electronic suspension still worth the money?

Yeah man, I wasn’t trying to be an ass. My first and only time I dropped a bike my instinct was to point to something on the bike, but when you get time to step back and think more often than not it’s rider error. See it at the track every day I’m out there too with others. Crashing sucks, so when it happens just learn from it in terms of decision making, and become a better and safer rider. You can die or get majorly injured in an instant on a bike, hate when I see people get hurt on these fun machines.

When I crashed my Harley 2 years ago I was blaming the woman driving the car. But after 2 or 3 days of replaying the accident in my head. I realized it was my fault.

Then again crashing isnt always a bad thing. Especially when a rider passes you on the inside in a tight turn and their knee is in the middle of the marker lines. While being so close to you on the inside that you can tap them with your knee. Then they brake a bit because they are some sort of douche bag and to startle you. Which causes the rear to come out and you slide off the track into the gravel. Then you pick your bike up. Try to chase the skinny ......... down and punch him as soon as you can. But he is already far ahead and the only way you can catch him is when the session is over. He pulled over to his tent where his friends have already pulled over. I pull up with my friends. Grab the ......... by the shoulder to turn him while he is taking his helmet off. And instead of a ......... it a effen c*&t LOL. She says maybe you should learn to ride better. Then your roided ass wouldnt crash. My only response was I dont do roids. So take that missy. That was the dumbest thing I ever said. We got married in 2002 and have been together ever since.

^^^ that right there is hilarious, at least you got something good out of that wreck lol

I race in the north east and have had my fair share of crashes, I can honestly say of my 9 crashes 8 of them were my fault. Only once was i hit by someone that i had no control of. My last off was at about 90, a high-side due to my own stupidity mechanically. I overfilled my oil, spit oil on my rear tire and got sent to the moon. If i paid attention i could have saved myself a lot of money, had more fun this race season and avoided pain, surgery and recovery. My point is if you relax , take your time and concentrate you will have less wrecks. I can also say each crash was a learning experience. #1 rule = patience and baby steps.

on I-10 west out of houston I don't doubt someone trying could easily get an indicated 175. Like this for 10-15 miles at a time... and you can take the couple of turns at well over a 100.

Eisenhower road system is strong in Texas. Highways are designed for aircraft to be able to land on them in times of war. I don't remember the numbers, but for X miles of road, Y miles has to be as straight as possible. Very easy to do top speed runs on Texas highways.
