so I'm 41 years old, and moved fro so cal to so utah 2 years ago, because of the crazyness on the socal freeways i havent ridden much in the last 5-6 years, just an occasional weeken on the dirtbikes etc. so now that i'm here in Utah and the roads are longer ( i drive 43 miles to work) and safer/way less crowded, i bought myself a 2006 R1 (in october 06) I've been riding it to and from work and all over hell and back (got almost 4000 miles on her already)
a few weeks ago some "kid" sees me on my bike and invites me to ride with their club out here ( the only one around) of course i accept. last weeken they went up a local canyon road miles of twist turny up and down roads ( like the gap but smaller) so i go with them, they are flying up this thing (i guess they do it all the time, well i've never driven the road before so i take it easy, they are to the top way before i get there and they even send someone back to look for me. heck i'm still hitting 120 on the straights im just taking it easy on the turns.
well they meet again today and i get a bunch of shit from these little punks like "Oh thats the guy we lost" "Oh he don't know how to ride" and other stupid comments..
so is it im older and wizer than these "Punks" (most of them ar in their low 20's i would say) or am i just a squid?? and should i brush off their comments and still ride with them? :dundun:
or should i go on my own learn every turn and dip in that canyon and go blow them away once we thaw out next spring?/ not sure what i should do?
O.K. let the flaming begin!! :fire
