I've seldom had time to amble, smell the yclept roses, et. al. I have done a bunch of bun burner golds, +100 (1600 total in 24hrs.), because I enjoy running big miles, quickly. Very satisfying. Handling weather changes is often the puzzler. Sad to say; I've aged out of that form of motorcycling.
BTW: I've done all but 3 on SV650S's. The 3 were ferrying mc's for others. As in; 'No body rides that far'. Happy Independence Day. R3~
