2010 VFR1200f

The VFR1200 is just a couple weeks old and I had time to break away. There’s a bicycle route we in east Dallas know as the “east loop.” It’s a loop out to Lake Ray Hubbard through Mesquite and Sunnyvale.

It was beautiful tonight. My ride was just under an hour long. I was reflecting on my recent track day and thinking about how slow I felt. Was feeling more comfortable in the saddle though since working on my skills on the track. In short, I can feel an amazing difference in confidence on the road.

Then I happened upon a guy on a Road King. He was going my direction and a little wobbly, and especially slow in the turns. I stayed behind him rather than passing him. By the way he was riding he seems very new and apprehensive. Braking to less than 20mph in every sweeping turn. He had a new license tag on the bike. Hope he’s careful and does not rush it. Hope he can have as much fun as I had today on the VFR1200.
