besides being slow, ive never had the bike faster than 65 and i would have to go up 75 to get out near you all........interstate scares the shit out of me

Umm, and you ride your own bike? What's so scary about interstates? Actually coming around a blind 90 with the possibility of a wreck or sand scares me much more.

uhm yea i ride my own bike, is there a problem with not having gone faster than 65? Ive neer been on the interstate and i would rather not if possible. something about 5 semi trucks all riding next to me doesnt quite make me feel comfortable and seeing how people almost run people over or off the road in cars REALLY doesnt make me feel comfortable knowing im on something ALOT harder to see....to each his own

Listen, don't get upset at me because you're scared of something. You mentioned it, not I. I was asking because it seemed like an oxymoron. Why would you ride a bike if you're scared of traffic????? That's one of the beauties of motorcycles. It's mobility. The same tractor trailers you're afraid of in a motorcycle are the same exact ones you drive by in a car. You really don't have much more "protection" inside a car vs a tractor trailer really. In a motorcycle, atleast you can twist your right hand and get out of the way a lot quicker than just about any car.

I'm sorry, but you are the very first person in my 35 yrs of life that I've heard of being scared of traffic yet rides a motorcycle.

I just couldn't handle going 55 or even 65 mph on the highway if I didn't have to. Up in the mountains around tight corners, fine. On the highway? Not only will it make the trip painfully long, but you'll probably not ever make it because you'll get run-over by cars driving normal speeds.

agreed... if you're scared of the interstates then the mountains just aren't the place for you . there will be bikes whizzing by you doing triple digits and if you're scared of semi's then the motorhomes moving along 129 will scare your pants off.
