I follow a non-discrimination policy, I ride every bike fast.

I normally ride my slow bike slow, except when an Infiniti is gunning it next to me so he can cut me off even when there's no one behind me. Then I ride it faster than him.

I prefer to ride slow bikes fast.

I used to own a Suzuki Hayabusa. At the time it was the fastest production motorcycle on the planet. However, I found it very cumbersome and boring at street speeds.

I ultimately sold the Hayabusa. I found that I had more fun riding my Triumph or Norton in the twisties at 60 mph than I did the Hayabusa at 80.

My Harley is a completely different story. I just like to cruise on it. I still thrash the Triumph, the Norton and the BMW's though.
