I've been back on for a month after taking a hiatus from bikes and it seems I've no common sense left. I'm going to land myself in jail or worse. I can't take the bike tomorrow, they'll be waiting. I thought I was over behaving like this.

I know the feeling as well. I go to work at 5:45am. At the same time I know the police are doing their shift change. They can't be bothered to pull someone over when their shift is 10 mins from ending. I also know there is a stretch of highway to work that is completely unpatrolled for 5 miles. It gives me justification to just twist the throttle a bit more skirting the fine line between lane splitting and "passing".

I need a racetrack around here. The 990 just isn't happy below 60mph unless there are curves.

Thanks for the support guys
I am somewhat conflicted about this, the forty five year old father/family man and mostly law abiding citizen in me is horrified with my irresponsible and dangerous behaviour. The delinquent twenty year old in me says quit being a pussy, your an asshole and have been getting away with this shit for years, why are you wining about it.
I'm going to leave the bike at home for a few days and wait for things to cool down. I'm hoping this is just my pent idiocy. I'll try to let it out in smaller doses on the weekends away from traffic and the police until I can get myself under control.

Oh wait, nevermind - you're a parent, with real responsibilities and stuff.

Well, commuting is off of the table. The red mist starts the second someone gets in my way. Waiting at intersections for my Buell riding friend to catch up gave me some time to enjoy the fall colours and fresh cool air. Made a nice change to what is slowly turning into a Sunday pub run rather than a Sunday blast.

Somebody needs a dirt bike, without a plate.

Just picked up a 2007 KTM 200 EXC with less than 50 miles.

No plates, no cops, no speed limits......yea man.....
