I iz officially old and sensible

[Blue_SV650S]

It was a lovely afternoon, so went out for a ride

Put my sat-nav on the bike and set off with no particular destination in mind ... 57 miles later and I have returned home ...

Depressingly my moving average for the journey was 28.7mph .... with a top speed of 68.2mph ....

These facts are even more depressing as I did about a 5 mile stint of motorway in that ride ...

I just had no desire to go fast and was enjoying a bimble in the countryside ...

I might go out and buy myself a pipe and slippers tomorrow

Anyone else reached that point where they no longer feel they need to be knob-out every ride?!!??

Sometime I enjoy a bimble around the country lanes... other time I race around the country lanes. All depends on what mood your in... and I am only 19

Goddamnit with this game crap.
I remember when 4chan memes were funny and kept to 4chan. Half the people who play the game now have no idea of the origins, and usually one would argue you don't need to understand origins to find it funny, but with all the old 4chan memes popping up nowadays (channel 4's big fat quiz of the year calling rickrolling "new" in 2008, despite it being largely unfunny since 2005) I no longer find any of it funny. That's right, it's ruined because other people know what I'm laughing at. I used to be a demented fat virgin wanking off to sick shit in my mum's basement. MY MUM NEVER HAD A BASEMENT but that's who I pretended to be. Now I have to admit that I am a functioning member of society, because pretending to be a fat virgin loser somehow became cool and funny online.

Apologies to those who don't know or care about 4chan and the other parts of the underweb, but some things just shouldn't become mainstream.

Back on topic, I like to take silly rides some days but on really, really nice days I take it easy. Next time I might even take a packed lunch and eat by the river, take some photographs and generally be an old man.

I saw your vid on SV650 ("SV650 on a lovely British winter ride!"). It was very fast and smooth. You are a very fast rider .

Im just 18, but unfortunately have an xj600s.

I love thrashing it as much as you can thrash such a silly bike but i have alot of fun just cruising about at 55-60mph in top gear on country lanes, its nice and gentle and feels very controlled, you can take in the scenery in quite alot of comfort at just 4000revs.

I rarely speed, i just dont need to to find enjoyment in riding.

That and the fact i need a new fornt tyre

I have more often than not been going straight past the zxr and going for the 125 just because i enjoy the more sedate speed of a cruise through the country lanes into work. I may be getting old

If i pick the zxr however i do still tend to ride it like my hairs on fire

Think my next bike is going to be a big slow burbling cruiser.
