If going fast scares you...

I just read this in the latest edition of www.michiganbikers.com:


"Talking of speed, there are riders who think 60mph is a bit scarey. If so, try going 70. Once you've accelerated to 70 for a moment, 60 will seem tame. I've noticed that after going 80mph for a while 70 begins to seem like slow motion. Next time you find yourself bothered by high speeds, try it."


Otherwise paraphrased as "Dude, you think *that* was fast..."


Sadly I have been neglecting the bike lately. As sunrise gets later, morning temps get cooler, and summer wanes, it looks like a continued trend for me. Th 50 miles I drive to work is a real bummer on the bike if the temp isn't at least 50 or 55. Besides feeling wussy lately I have to admit that I can't type very well on a bike ;) Driving with one knee can prove rather awkward!


Weather is the spice of life, however, and as fall draws closer, I know I'll enjoy that when it's here, and still look forward to summer again...
