Used to ride for pleasure and to work in almost all weathers. I was always reading traffic and still do.
Eventually, I realized I was going to be hurt badly when my behavior with no traffic around exceeded my luck and skill level. I sold the bike and scratched the itch with sports cars for almost forty years.
I no longer feel the need for stupid speed and at times I think another bike would work for me. Then I drive by the three roadside sites of motorcycle fatalities within ten minutes of my driveway.
Last summer I had two close calls with other drivers pulling into my Miata's lane.
It just isn't worth it for me these days.
