Well when you ride in the fast lane everyone is doing anywhere from 85 to 90 mph, at least around here on this stretch of I4 I was riding on, if you try and run the speed limit you will get run over, so 97 mph was my speed simply cause I always tend to ride slightly faster than the flow of traffic, its safer to me to be the one passing rather than getting passed.

Yeah I wasnt sure if you rode geared up.
You did get lucky.Im so use to wearing my jacket,I feel nakkied with out it if I ride.

People would look at me mid summer with my jacket,helmet and gloves and and tell me its to hot to wear that.Its not cold..

Some people you have to explain to them what the gear is for.

I have a friend who is going to learn the hard way.No matter what I tell him he dont listen for shit and I rag his ass about it hoping he willget some fuckin sense.Just recelty I keep telling him to wear his gloves while riding.He telsl me its not cold enough and the gloves dont feel right.

Well you got to wear them to brake the bitches in.The weather im sure feels the same when you are sliding on asphalt going 60mph+

The biggest thing with me is that I'm so damn good looking that not wearing gear would be a major loss to women everywhere, I owe it to them to protect my sexy body
