as tight as possible, i feel more natural riding fast slow. Places like the skyway always scared me because riding at that speed for that long never felt right to me.

I like both but have to admit...the fast sweepers are sweet for me.

I used to like fast sweepers until I went to the track. To get any sort of thrill out of those now I need to be going faster than I'm comfortable on the street.

Tight/slower/technical - on the track!

Now I do agree with this...makes perfect sense. Flying around blind curves with all of the possible obsticles one might face on the street is what keeps me from enjoying that as much as the sweepers but on a track...totally different.

I guess it depends on what I'm riding at the time. I'd take the Skyway over the Gap if I'm riding the Duc, and vice-versa if I'm on the KTM.

I like anything that isn't straight. After that it depends on the road and what I'm riding.

Shannonville and Cayuga might be tight and technical, but bogie has some turns that are pretty damn fast(turn one is a kink that can be taken knee down), and Mosport is almost all sweepers.
