My usual weekend ride includes hwy xxx since I live fairly close, it takes me north and it's a ***** load of fun. My destination was Fort Irwin (great technical ride). I always stop (whether I need fuel or not) at xxx gas station, have a smoke and pop with the owner and we swap hwyxxx stories of past squid follies. If He noticed any opp activity he may let me in on it... Whilst riding up north, I was passed by 2 rockets, game on! I spooled up the 10R but soon broke off as these clowns were passing cars in corners with on-coming traffic. Since I want to ride another day I felt that activity was beyond my comfort zone so opted for my usual pace. Sure enough I'm signaled by another rider and soon spotted a newer smashed up gixxer on a flatbed, fire trucks etc. I'm all for having fun but far too many times have I seen this road ruin someone's day. In the past I've seen a lot of tragedy on this road (air ambulance more than a few times). This new generation of balls-to-the-wall riding is becoming disturbing and ruins my ride when I'm left to deal with the carnage. Oh well, the remainder of my ride was good, met some new friends and possible future hookup-rides. Looking forward to next weekend (weather permitting).
Please ride within your limit and Happy apexes.
