I for the most part do the speed limit in the straights and speed up about 100yds before the turns... If there are a series of turns then I maintain my momentum.

Weather you adopt the same philosophy or not is your prerogative, we are all different and like doing things differently...

IMO, straight line speed is EZ to do... anyone can do it. And braking duels on the street with inexperienced riders is very dangerous... Thus, I've never had any desire with going on rides where anyone has a problem following a designated leader to pace.

It may not be your idea of a good time... But I been on death rides way before many of you here on much lesser machinery... It's not its all cracked up to be. And you'd be wise to listen to those that heve been there & done that...

It's not hypocritical... its just plain good advice & who else is best fit to give it than those that have been there?
