Raced Against Another Suzuki

[Guest]

Well, not so much raced, as tried to keep up. I was on my 79 GS1000, he was on an SV650. Went up Lookout Mountain from Windy Saddle to the Nature Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s6SrHEHmI4

Great stretch of road but i would want to ride it on off-hours to avoid all the cyclists.

LOL those SV's are light ,nimble and torquey. Much underestimated IMHO.

Look out mountain is awesome. I agree about the cyclists and they will ride in the road just to make their point with cars which is why I will not drive it or ride it in the day. I have always been afraid of hitting one of them. But man what a drive and a huge reason I miss living in Golden. Thank you for the video brother, I truly miss it

Mob mentality. I've seen that too.

Looks like a fun ride other that the 2 wheeled vehicles without motors........

Speaking of bikes without motors...

When I owned my first bike (Gixxer750) I stopped by a bagel place and came upon 2 cyclists who looked at me after I took my full-face helmet off and said, "wrong bike!"

My response was quick and automatic, "it takes more skill to ride a motorcycle". Then I proceeded to walk past them to get my breakfast.

And as for the video, yes...SV650s are nimble, but I've seen guys handle big cc bikes with ease on twisties. I give those who can maneuver the twisties nothing but respect because I know it's gonna take many years to get to their level.

EDIT: I like the song by the Pretenders, Middle of the Road. It was relevant to riding in the middle because (Hello!), there cyclist on the outside.

Enjoy riding videos but ditch the music please, it takes away from the experience. No idea why everyone seems to bed their videos with bad tunes

Probably because the camera's only pick up annoying wind noise.

There's a volume control that fixes both...

Mute button's good.

Try a GoPro, they never pick up wind noise on any of my bikes.
