I guess this is a bit of a vent. It’s Monday, and you know, shtuff happens, but ... you decide

I was passed on 285 by a pair of bikes ... HAD to be going at least 120 - 130! I mean they passed me at 30 to 40* mph, if not faster .... I get it about going that fast — on a closed track, stupidly, maybe. But on the ‘Meat Grinder’*??

Yipes! If you’re doing that, and I mean just in a practical way, you want to make sure your stars and not just your hormones are aligned properly. You want proven, outstanding tires. A bike with a rigid frame. Top shocks and brakes. Padded body suit and brain bucket. Best of class insurance, burial benefits and so on!

*I knew some EMT’s way awhile ago who said after using a snow shovel to clear a couple of scenes the road had earned that name. And that was in the 70’s. It’s moreso now than ever
 
Somebody that redlines a motor that long has got to be stupid. Not to even mention the idiocy of going that fast on an interstate with that many people on it.
He will probably sell the bike as being “adult ridden, never abused” too.
