A legend in our own minds? or Admired by our peers?

I am all about riding your own ride as well. I have my good days on my bike and I also have days where I feel uneasy riding and can't seem to look through turns and that brings my speed way down. I have wrecked twice on days like that so I have learned to head for the house if my nerves are up on the bike. I dont think a big ego and a motorcycle make a good combination. If you feel that way, take it to the track.

I spent most of the Gap trip feeling that way. Part of it was the suspension being f-ed up, part of it was being with people I didn't know but a lot of it was just general unease... I was happy to have made it home in one piece!

I never was farther up than mid pack but after the last crash I'm even farther back. pretty much everyone I ride with is faster than I am. either they will wait at the next stop/turn for me or i'll turn around and go home or continue on my own route.
