Big problem...

OK, first day in the Santa Monica Mountains with the Hyper (what can I say, I've been busy with work). Did Latigo and discovered a horrible, serious problem. The bike is sooooooooo (so, so, so) damn fast and fun that I'm riding waaaaaay past my 'street safety' limit. I had to ride Latigo three times in succession to see if I could sort the problem out...Piuma and Stunt, too (there's a quarter-mile of dirt at the top of Schuren/Stunt)

As I figure out a solution to this problem, I'll let everyone know...

The cops don't focus on Latigo too much which is great... and why should they when they have all the sneaker wearing stunter guys on liter bikes blazing Mulholland only a mile away... Latigo is great because the liter bikes don't have alot of fun there so it never super crowded. Very nice for Hypers.

And you don't want to get a speeding ticket. I got one on ACH 2 months ago and the bail is $1157 dollars!!!! I am able to take traffic school for $450, but now I'm utterly freaked out about speeding.
