dont confuse experienced with stupity.
So you don't ever speed? The best time to do so is on the highway. Sure it's stupid, but why do we have such powerful bikes?

[/quote]yea, only if there is no traffic at all, and not to try to be a splat!

I hit the highway on the second day after I bought my bike and I hate it. i would rather be on the twisties in the backroads.

After reading this thread, I'm embarrassed to own a sport bike. Can anyone say squid?

For the cost of just two speeding tickets, you can pay for a track day.

1 week. I ride the highways all the time. Since this is my only transportation I can't always go looking for fun backroads when I need to get somewhere. Wish I could though..

**** highways Im in Los Angeles **** scarred me, even streets scarred me.So I took the streets to work for about two weeks then began hitting the highways on the downtime of traffic. I think it helped alot.

I am buying my first sportbike tomorrow.
Having a friend ride it back on the highway for me.
I am sure I could handle it, but since I can arrange otherwise I did.
I am not in a hurry to ride on the highway, though I am not opposed to it here and there in lower traffic hours.

I waited until I was really comfortable with my bike, which was like 3 full days of riding it. I made sure I had all my gear on, and I did it at night, when not many people were around. This was when I was riding my Ninja250

rode for about a week before the interstate
it's scary all over again when you haven't ridden it in a few months
