Haven't talked to many of you guys since my accident, but word on the street has it that there are peeps asking if the Super rides will be NO MORE? I think that this is something that needed to be brought out and discussed as a whole. I definitely enjoy the rides and feel alot more comfortable ridin' at a fast clip on back roads w/ minimal traffic than to blow down 4lane highways like we used to do to get that same feeling of excitement. There have been some to say that they're turning in their w/e twistee passes for the track alone. Maybe those peeps have outgrown the tradition started by a few of us to meet up and feel those 2-3 hrs. of adrenaline rush. I respect those people and their decisions and I hope they succeed on the track. But one thing I would like to say is... Remember how you got so damn fast and don't forget where you came from. For the most part, those of us that partake in Super rides have gone to Jennings and have done extremely well against others. Not just a few, but many from Tampa, Polk, and O-Town that regularly join our rides get up there and kick ass. That's not a coincidence. I think that Supers have given alot of us that confidence and experience to compete w/ others. I think Super rides have intrigued many of us to cross over onto the other side and enjoy riding our sport bikes as they were meant to be rode. Using up all that tire instead of replacing it only 1/3 worn in the middle, understanding suspension setup, learning proper positioning, and being one w/ the machine you're on as well. I was taught a great deal from many of you guys (Owen, Glen, Chris, Dan, Rupert, Pat, Brian, Daryl, Kevin, and more to name) You've all given me pointers on how to get better. I take that same pride in telling others just how to do so. So as far as there being NO MORE Super rides... That's a damn lie! B/c as soon as I put my bike back together thery'll be alot more Supers to come. More responsible riding on the certain roads instead of "ALL OUT WAR" on the entire ride, but there are those that'll be fast paced just as b/f. :twofinger
Just my .02 on the Super Ride issue.

. Asphalt doesn't choose who'll be it's next victim. If the rides still have alot of meaning and are fun, show up! If not, then don't! That's the decision of each individual. When I outgrow the rides (Which I don't think I will) I'll stop showing. But that doesn't mean that I should feel like the rides should be No more b/c I've out grown it. And Mobius, I can't recall ever seeing you on a Super ride??? Not the rides that DaPimp puts together. Many of those peeps don't ride w/us and those rides are Nowhere as fun as ours :twofinger .
