thats pretty much the same way I started about 50 years ago and also how I ended my racing life about 12 years ago when the guy behind me fell off over a tripple jump and his bike attacked me from behind 6 mo later I was back up and riding. all that said time on bikes has nothing to do with tires or how fast your bike will go my twin cam still only does 110 even with all my experience...

This is how I started riding. 40 some years ago

Exactly what I was thinking


Someone is getting a little brag happy...and as long as you can hold on, just about anyone, and almost a monkey could twist a grip and go 130 mph on straight road with a fast enough bike...experience doesn't really matter there..
