Ouch! Little faith in my stopping abilities. Grrrr!  Just wait and see my overloaded Duckie screeching to a halt! I make my Brembos work, you'll be amazed!

I feel the ones that talk like this will be the faster ones of the bunch 
I have no clue how anybody else rides, so I'm not making any asumptions. I think I ride pretty "spirited", but I may just have myself fooled.

Yeah I haven't forgotten  I will probably be a little timid at first even though it is familiar territory for me. I haven't been to the Gap yet this year, so I am planning on making a few passes this Saturday if weather stays nice. I used to go almost every weekend and ride or drive my Z. The only time I have been on it lately is in my truck after going down a primitive road that connects US129 and Cades Cove, which is a very scenic loop that folks drive or bike to see animals and such. Dad and I will get the trucks out after a good rain in the fall and go down Parson's Branch (primitive road) to have a little fun.

Couple years ago when I just got my KTM I was behind a slow convoy of cars going about 25 (10 under the limit) I was kinda spaced out deep in my thoughts when the elderly couple decided to stop dead in the middle of the road, I did a panic stop and ended up doing a "Superman" on to the car in front. Bike never hit the car abut I put couple fist sized dents in to his trunk. Wish I tested the brakes before that happened but I never had a dirt bike and had not expected that much front end dive.
