They were fun at the time



(And I still love speed)

Think we love speed. ..prob why we own bikes haha!! But the real buzz for me is the twisties no matter what in car or bike you really can't beat a bend after bend after bend road!

Acceleration is far more fun than outright speed but speed is obviously the product of that.

I find when you're doing silly speeds on a bike it's almost like you're in a bubble. It's a very weird feeling.

I love twisties but on my bike I only like them if I can accelerate and brake into and out of them... I don't enjoy JUST flicking left and right as much as hammering into a corner on the brakes then getting a wiggle on exiting the corner
