[QUOTE="rubbersidedown, post: 1029686, member: 58346"] I don't think I can add much more to what's already been said by the previous posts, these guys pretty much nailed it. I wanted to reply because these thoughts have crossed my mind as of late. I had the good fortune of going snowmobiling with some friends last week, we did 150miles (sorry, don't know the km conversion) and it was incredible. The sled I was on was an 05 Yamaha RX1, it's the equivelant of the R1 street bike, only on snow. These machines are rediculously fast, and equally as dangerous in the wrong hands. After stopping for a quick bite at a trailside resaurant, we spoke with one of the locals about how the season had been, "pretty lousy" was his reply. Too little snow, and too many anxious riders resulted in the six deaths since late November. He said this like it was nothing new, or surprising. I couldn't get it out of my head that here were six people who like me, were simply out for a good time, and who's families were expecting them home. I rode no differently then when I'm trail riding on the bike, never assuming there isn't another rider coming around a blind curve, listening to my body when my arms started to get too rubbery to hang on, and I didn't feel the need to "keep up" with the guys ahead of me everytime. It's funny, by the last day I was flying down a trail and suddnly slowed down to about a third of the speed we'd been traveling, and decided to actually take in some of the scenery. What a concept! I've always been a mostly cautious rider, though I do love to test the limits occasionally, if we didn't, we wouldn't own bikes in the first place. Riding is a high to me, it's my "feel good" therapy, it's the thing that helps me get through a rough week of work. The woods is where I get to shed the thousand pounds of weight that I carry as a small business owner. Anyone who owns a business knows you never stop thinking about work, ever. When I'm focused on that trail ahead of me, nothing else is going through my mind, sometimes I even catch myself letting out a big Woooohoo! [I]Even sex doesn't make me do that.[/I] I'm a firm believer in when it's your time, it's your time, whether we choose to up the risks or not. Get the damper, ride that sweet spot you mentioned and enjoy. We are a fortunate bunch, don't deny yourself anything, and don't let a perfectly good KDX go to waste. [/QUOTE]
