Speeding is fun.

Wheelies are epic.

Stoppies are win.

Never slow down.

Hell I doubt Luke will have slowed down once he is back out on 2 wheels.

Do some trackdays or go drag-racing. Once your explored your bikes potential you're less-likely to want to keep doing it on the road.

Well if you still ride the same way after binning it quite badly then what is there to say? Try some common sense, if you can't look around you and realise you need to calm down in certain situations then I guess you're just a shit rider.

To be fair, it seems he has - but he's asking a question of self control.

This sounds like a "Aren't I hard-core - look at me everyone!" thread.

To answer your question, do what every other person does in this situation:

Buy a supermoto.

Ask your local bike dealer to recomend a motorcycle that matches your level of maturity.

I hope that's not what you did Wali - with your bike you must be so mature you better watch bits don't start falling off Very Happy

People like you and me, yes.

However when you're as wanted as half-lyfe every time he goes past an ANPR-equipped car their little screen has a fit.

Making adjustments to the throttle will not alter the speed!
Only 98 R1s can do that
