I said oh, is it hard to hold on to when cranking the throttle. He shows me a emergency cable he clips to himself like a jetski has, so if he falls it shuts the bike off. We shook hands and went our own ways.

What a difference of 25years of age makes when you ride.
Safe riding to all

I'll cruise 80-85 all day on the open toll roads and I love going 0-that 85 as fast as possible, but that is where I get my rush, not in the top end. I can see the thrill of speed, but that's not my thrill, I get my thrill from acceleration.
