[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1256005, member: 29492"] Like [B]MCRIDER007[/B], when I ride for pure pleasure, I choose smooth. There's nothing like running a familiar route with cruise control set and a vow not to touch brakes or throttle except to avoid a crash. (I see you have a non-cruise 2007, but the principle is the same.) My favorite local routes intertwine and/or supplement to yield loops between 20 and 35 miles long. I'll set the cruise at the speed limit or a few miles over, and go. Sure there are places where you could kick it up a dozen extra mph, but that extra speed comes off at the next curve or corner. Why not select a good average speed and see what you can accomplish? The challenge is to ride safely without speeding up or slowing down -- which forces you to look ahead and plan your moves in advance. It's no substitute for speed, but it offers thrills with little risk. [/QUOTE]
