So I've sort of become on of Them.

Just spent a while bimbling through the countryside at 20 to 40 mph, doing the dizzyingly low, engine struggling to run, speeds of 3000 rpm, and I can sort of see the point. (I usually do 3 times that or more)

Rather than just flying along between the green blurs, mixed with streaks of partially covered upright brown, blasting through the corners at 10/10ths, carrying speed, and generally riding how a sports bike should be ridden.

I could make out individual leaves, and hear birds tweeting, (I counted at least three different species) and fliting along the road, see the branches of trees, see the trunks themselves, admire the architecture of various farm houses, and just relax.


The only problem was it was less fuel effcient...
