Today, coming back from lunch, I took a side road the comes off a busy four laner 35mph city road. It's a little twistie bit that is really just a long driveway for a couple car dealerships. There are no signs of any government posted on the roadway... you know, like "Speed limit 35", "Stop", "Warning: Car Salesman Crossing" nothing. Nada. So, while I am turning on to it and throttling up, I hear that voice inside my head....
.... you know the one...
the voice that makes you do stuff you bought a Hayabusa for...
"... pssst! Greg! Here's that road you like. The one we are SURE is not governed by any law enforcement agencies. The one that usually just has Porches and Suberu's making little tests runs on it.... you are on LAWLESS TERRITORY! Let her rip! You only live life once... might as well enjoy it!"
I drop down a gear to first and hammer it on bringing the front up maybe 4 inches lurching forward, waiting for the turn in the road I so love, chest into the tank, reposition feet and legs, butt fully off the seat, knee out --- OH WAIT! I'm not wearing leather pants with knee sliders on them!!!! Into the corner with leg retracted a little.... through the first turn in switchback over to the next......
.... ah the leaning of a busa! I remembered why Spring is so much fun on a motorcycle.
Nothing like making up the law as you go. But I hear there's a place for people that do that..... jail?
