Chicken strips

I agree that it is more important to have fun. It just so happens I do have fun pushing myself and always trying to improve. I am of the mind-set that if you are not moving forwards, you are moving backwards and carry this mentality in all aspects of my life, including riding. I never try to ride at anyone else's pace, and most often go riding on y own. I prefer It that way. I set my own pace. Sometimes I will tag onto another rider or group to see if there is anything I can pick up.
When I think about it, of all my mates who ride (or used to) I am second to slowest. And I'm ok with that. Even if I were the slowest. As long as I am getting better, that's all I care about. My original point was, what is the point in having a focused sports bike with 100 and odd bhp, top suspension and brakes and not using it? Why not but a comfy bike, save some money and relax. Is it just about showing off? I tend not to visit these Sunday biker hang outs as the "leather clad bullsh***ers" just annoy me. I was more impressed by a guy riding his KTM 990 through the snow on the motorway at 5am last winter.
