So I'm coming down Willamette St and I start crying...

[pmb]

...because my eyes were tearing like mad.

So let's have a poll - is this far, far too fast, or .5 MPH too slow?

...you're gonna die if you crash...

I was behind him, at 43 mph. Being Eugene, the road was kind of a mess but there was one strip of decent pavement all the way down. I crossed off that strip and hit the seam between the two chunks of pavement. Very very nearly went down. As in, my front end jerked all over the place and I'm glad I was in the hand position I was in (hands in the drops behind the brakes) or I'm pretty sure I would've lost it.

I'm back to being scared of the bike. Great.

maybe you should just be afraid of going over 40. when was the last time, after you flipped?
