How do you drive?
I drive my bike quite hard - always full on the throttle in acceleration and don't go into high gears unless I'm on highway.
Is this very bad for the bike??
How are you guys riding?

Mostly depends on who I'm riding with, some guys like to poke along and some like to hot rod, I don't care as long as I'm riding.
If I'm alone it would be about 90% just rolling along enjoying the view and 10% of spirited riding, especially if I get into twisties.

Used to be a WFO kinda rider/driver, grew up. Actually I find that I actually enjoy the ride better now that I'm not so intent on blitzing the next set of corners. I can just relax, enjoy the scenery and listen to the rumble of the engine.

Reminds me of an old TV show quote, "Speed kills Del" or something like that, I don't remember who said it.
While it's fun to hammer it sometimes, I find by doing so, I miss alot of why I ride. I guess I'm just getting old. I only rip on my scooter when I'm on a good set of twistys and it's a good day, so about 1/2 the time.
