I get the thrill of going fast on a slow bike like the GZ250. I have dragged pegs and asked it to do ridiculous highway trips (once 80mi of highway in one go, on a bike that can barely do the speed limit), and I even tried offroading the poor thing. (I dropped it a couple times lol)
The Street Triple is a whole different beast. One that tempts me to go way too fast. Luckily, I can (usually) resist those temptations and just cruise along.
I am being safe. I keep any slightly naughty things away from traffic, and I am ATGATT. It's weird how unsafe some riders are, just today a bald man on a cruiser passed me on the highway with no helmet.
Ya a lot of folks make a lot of poor choices. I'm sure I do too.
I like to take note of any way I could have done something better in a ride, even if it's just something simple like getting passed by a car before I knew it was there -- a mild reminder to always be checking the 360.
