Riding a Motorcycle Hard

Racing would be cool if there was time on the bike. It's all frenzy and risk and only reward if you're doing well. And practice time is minimal, you had better be a good rider that attacks every corner or it's an expensive and frustrating sport. But whatever blows your hair back.

I will race this year but it wont replace track days ... I ride with a lot of my friends so it's a day out with the boys, same ones I play squash and do pub crawls with in the winter... It's how you approach the whole thing that makes riding whatever it is to you.

Like a Jap 4-cycl bike? -> Mine hits the rev-limter A LOT now...

Why would you do that?

I think that's when u pop a viagara and then head over to your gf's place on your bike? I could be wrong.

Engine/Tranny notwithstanding.. how about running at high speeds over bumps or train tracks without slowing down.. that's running the suspension and frame hard..

riding a bike hard is track days ... on my track bike I'm spending the majority of time between 10,000rpm and 14,000rpm ... sure 20 mins at a time but that's all day long ...

frame wont' bent or break...its the suspension that will need to be rebuilt.

again...not a huge deal if you consider how much fun jumping those tracks is...
