    Hey CrustyRider - sad to say it is on the freeway. Also on the track when we go there. I am not a sweeper and I love laying the bike down and sometimes drag a knee (verrrry rarely on the street - I do not want to get FUBAR). I have hit some turns on the Highways at or slightly above 100mph, but I have been working on trail braking which enables me to enter turns at a high speed so I can keep up with the crazier (cause I am crazy too) riders in my MC who can sweep through at crazy high speeds on a public roads. I do not mean to glorify this behavior and I must add that if the road is wide open then I am likely guilty and when we go to the track in the Poconos the last straight stretch the fellas go offffff. Again, not to defend craziness or stupid behavior on the road, especially since I am the eldest member of my crew and a certified Advanced Rider coach. I usually let the fellas get off a little then I get them in formation so they will behave a little. Late nights when the road is open, it is on and I ride my ride and let the fellas fo their thing.
