As regards your earlier post, it may be true that some bikers prefer not to ride if the don't have company. I myself have always ridden alone (except once - not for choice, but I have no biker friends  ) so that doesn't apply to me!
I also agree that the cold affects all bikers but I agree with bennice in the sense that I believe on a sportbike you need to be MORE alert, MORE attentive, and have faster reflexes just because everything happens so much quicker! Maybe on a cruiser you can "get away" with a little more "sloppiness" but then again I've never ridden one so you probably are in a much better position to judge than I am... |
You're quite right about the sloppiness. It is the same attentiveness when either warm or cold though. I just slow down a bit for my abilities. For me though, it's not about having to ride fast, just being able to ride. Besides that, if one is seeking thrills in riding, how could it be better than pushing tires to their limit of losing traction and living on the edge. After all, that's what they do when they are warm, right?
