[QUOTE="philter, post: 1392942, member: 88731"] Just call me Sean. When I got up here to South Carolina from Florida three years ago, I hooked up with a group called Carolina Old Farts Sport Touring Association, I let the OLD FARTS part fool me, but when I went riding with them I was completely out of my element. Even though they waited for me every now and then, and told me "not to worry about not being able to keep up" my Ego kept saying to me "try harder". Each time I went with them, I would run wide on a corner or two and I very seldom was comfortable and never "smooth". I quit riding with them after a few rides, they didn't need me and I sure wasn't enjoying myself, as my Ego berated me for not being able to keep up, and my sensible mind being scared to death two or three times during each ride. I still like to go to the mountains and I still try to scrub the "chicken strips" off my tires and go through each section as smoothly and quickly as I can, and I can still put almost all cruisers and wannabe sport bikers way behind me, but I do it without scaring myself. DO NOT LET YOUR EGO KILL YOU. LOL [/QUOTE]
