[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 970784, member: 28773"] From the very first moment I wanted to ride a motorcycle on the street I only wanted to go around curves. I only use the interstate as a means to an end. The thought of wearing out the middle of a perfectly good motorcycle tire on straight roads is horrifying. Using a [I]Sport [/I]Touring motorcycle to go in a straight line for a long way sounded like a complete waste of resources and time. [B]BUT...[/B] [B] [/B] I want that damn license plate holder. I am in the planning stages for my SS1K right now. I read Ron Ayres book Against the Wind. I have been reading reports on this forum and others, many of them make an SS1K sound like it is next to impossible. Even on ADVRider most of those reports go on and on about the difficulties involved. Then I read Gixxerjasen's excellent ride report and realized that the difficulty is directly proportional to the level of Pussitis in the rider. I have made up my mind that I will add this to my list of accomplishments. I don't know if I should thank Gixxerjasen or curse him but his report is the best one yet. [/QUOTE]
