How much faster are you on roads you know vs unknown roads? - Page 2

Slow on unknown, moderate when I know them. Almost never more than 6/10's even when I know them well.

I can go balls out and drop a knee every time on a few roads that I know well by my house, but out of this environment I slow down alot

Yeah, but I'd be wiling to bet your 6/10s is faster than most people's 8-9/10ths

I actually rode the fastest I've ever ridden today. It was on very familiar roads.

I hit 160 in a stretch where I've never even reached 100 in before. Dropped my front strips down to 1/8 of an inch hard on the gas all the way.

I had one of those days today as well "guess my angel was with me today"

Ehh I'm slow as shit anyways... I ride about the same... but then again I don't have any really familiar road... as Mississippi's roads aren't any better than Florida's.

the only road I pushed a little harder was 2-3 runs in at the Gap... but even then with so many idiots I can't do it for spurts of two or three corners... too worried about fuckers coming into my lane... (happened 10 times in 8 total runs before Indy.)

Didn't think your bike would hit 160

160=100 in Canuckia

Forgot you talk in that damn metric scale

It actually took me longer to get to my route on the highway than it did to come back through the backroads.

It did ignite my passion for corner carving all over again. Which is a shame since our season is drawing to a close.
