Default Ever ride it like you stole it?

Ever had eight months of not getting to ride your bike and then once you get the chance you ride it like you stole it? My bike was in the shop for months and then I deployed while it was in the shop and never got the chance to ride it. As soon as I got it off the trailer from the shop you couldn't get me off it. There was never any uneasy feelings of not being able to ride for months I just hopped on it and started romping on it. It's a great feeling to just hop on and go after so long of not riding. Anyone ever been in my shoes?

Never understood that expression. If I stole a bike, I would ride very slowly & legally to avoid detection.

If you mean fast get-aways like the posse is after you because you took it illegally, then no. If you mean fast get aways like the wife is after you, then yes.

I like the 6000 rpm shifts. Feel the power.
