A year in review on the motorcycle

Some random thoughts...
Every time I look at a crash video, I come away with the same conclusion: dickhead was going way too fast. A lot of the authors of these videos then get on Reddit and say how they were doing everything fine and they just can't explain it. Funnily enough, I can explain it.
Having gone 15 or 20 minutes at 65 MPH, I gotta say I have no real desire to do that on a regular basis. Living in the city, I don't often need to. I just feel like a jerk when friends that like to drive fast invite me places and I turn them down.
The oil thing in the city is funny. I looked at a video. Changing the oil is simple. I just have nowhere to put the oil. So I may take it to a place anyway.
Love it a lot. I will say that when I took it at highway speeds it made regular street crusing easy as fuck. I never felt more in control of my bike than after expanding my horizons.
