Anytime I have the hankering for a sport bike I watch a motogp race.
The speed wobble, the lifting out of a corner, the wobble under heavy braking; all this refreshes my memory that I am not that type of rider.
I could be but call it wisodm or just fear of hitting the pavement again that leaves me with my cruiser.
My V-twin has enough torque and hp to get me to 0-60 in under 3 seconds.
Why tempt fate. I look at a bike to have equal power to weight and braking ability. Mine actually leans to be a bit heavy but it has the brakes to back that up.
I have been tempted by the 1200 Harley sport and the Iron Duke.
That voice in my head says NO! I listen to that voice more now than ever.

Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
But rather to skid in side ways, totally worn out shouting HOLYSHI$T What A RIDE!!
