How hard do you ride? what is your average speed. Are you a rider or do you like to cruise? how hard and low do you take curves? would you say you're one of the best.

I run pilot powers with no chicken strip, front or rear... Riding boots with the toe sliders nice and ground down (Without having my feet sticking out), not flexible enough to dget my knee down yet. I ride the best I can that day and on that run, but no means do I have any reason to get cocky...My average speed depends on the road and how well I know it, I'd rather be on a twisty country road (cough cough the dragon) than in town sitting or cruising stoplight to stop light....

I like city driving. I cant stand the wide open country roads. And the 636 doesnt handle turns very well, so i just like to putt aound in traffic. My average speed is probably 35mph on a good day. I try to make my tires last atleast 10k. Also with gas so high, i dont go above 4k. That gives me great gas mileage. All in all the 636 is good for a comuniter vehicle.

I was about to give you a little whoopass there boy LOL !!!!! It depends on what road I'm on. I also ride much better when I'm by myself. Don't have to keep looking for other people. I like to go out of the turn really hard once I'm used to it and the straight aways? Well, That's a given isn't it????

The track- full gas or full brake all the time, except for the corners but I should not even need to state that. Oh and no engine braking lol

The street / canyons – I exercise restraint, the right time in the right place I will get on it but never full on. There are just too many variables and things that I can not control. I get some pretty good tire wear on the canyons but nothing like the track bike.

IMO those who do hit it overly hard on the street should consider the risk they are taking and slow down.

I do not think I am by no means the best either, if I did you would be watching me on Sunday and sending me fan mail.lol

gotrice, lmao

GOTRICE, YOU NEED A BIG WHEEL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 636 HANDLING TURNS. IM ONE OF THE BEST 600 RIDERS IN MY AREA AND IM SURE IF I COME ON YOUR TURF, I WILL PUT MY STEAKS DOWN. YOU DON'T DESERVE A 636.
