Nothing great. Just writing a post. I do like these flow periods though. Most of the time, I just site down and write out of habit. Nothing great. Just writing a post.

I'm starting to get into a groove with my writing, but sometimes I just can't let go and start typing. I think that in creative circles it's sometimes known as getting into a flow. These are times of intense productivity where time just melts away and the artist is at their peak. <em>theregoesdave's last blog post..<a href='http://theregoesdave.com/2008/03/19/aol-mymobile-heading-for-public-beta/' rel="nofollow">AOL MyMobile Heading for Public Beta</a></em> I definitely find that there are times when I just sit down at the keyboard and crank through 6 or 8 posts at a time.

They are like the Volkswagen bug of motorcycles. Millions were made, the design was similar for years, and a big aftermarket industry sprouted up around them. They were also one of the reasons that Harley panic about their market share in the United States. The top speed was about 130.</p> <p>Then I got a 1995 Honda Shadow and shortly realized that what I really wanted was a sport/tourer but I still didn't ride it like a cruiser. I always pushed it to see where the limit was. If I crashed, I knew I found the limit and didn't have to worry about crashing again. On turns, I lifted my inside leg up when I knew the peg was going to drag. But by then I was eyeing a Triumph Rocket III but never got it, but I swear if I get rich doing this stuff, I won't be showing off cars. It will be bikes.</p> <p>I took a lot of trips. Once I took off on vacation to Kansas City from Phoenix and back. I went south on the way there down through Oklahoma and north on the way back through Taos, New Mexico. I only hit one downpour. Went to San Diego once, Death Valley twice and a few other places with a bunch of other riders from Phoenix. My favorite ride was to Alpine, Arizona http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/Devil-s-Hwy-Coronado-Trail. Twists and turns for close to 100 miles. It's crazy.</p> <p>And my wife likes it too, so a Goldwing looks to be in are future.</p> I started with a 1975 CB750 that I souped up in whatever way I could afford.

I owned a wheelie bike a few years back - a Honda 900RR. I would tear up the pavement with that beast. I know what you mean about taking the corners too. We had a golf course we would ride through at night. It was something like 17 turns of varying degrees. Over the course of a summer, I let myself relax and was leaning like a madman on that bike. It's amazing what we can do when we just release our fears. <em>Jason Boom's last blog post..<a href='http://www.jasonboom.com/formula-one-blogging/' rel="nofollow">Formula One Blogging</a></em> I’m curious what bike you’re riding too.

When I was a senior in High School, back in '91, I had a brand new new Katanna 600. I have some amazing memories from that bike. The memories are all great because most of them involved someone in their muscle car pulling up next to me and wanting to race off the light. They failed to realize they had no chance unless their car was burning alcohol and running 2' wide tires. We also use to run up and down a mountain. That is much closer to what you are describing. We would easily hit 80ish coming down those mountain roads. All the crazy stuff I did though, I'll tell you the time that scared me the most. It was on a straight back road. It was straight for a good mile. I nailed it and was doing 145 when a good gust of wind blew me just enough over that I peaked down and was less than a foot from being off the road. I spent the rest of the trip repeating the words, "Thank You God" over and over. <em>Jason Poteet's last blog post..<a href='http://www.jasonpoteet.com/new-home-and-new-design-coming/' rel="nofollow">New Home and New Design Coming</a></em> Which bike did you ride?
