Hehe. It's cool man. You don't know me but I'm the anti-squid if anything.
I do 400-600 mile days, I wear full leathers even on short rides, I ride a smooth quick pace - I dont slam on the brakes and park it in corners, and then accelerate to 130mph on the straight aways, I can't wheelie to save my life, I'll ride in rain, snow, or sun. Don't care. Though, I've never ridden in snow.. doesnt snow here.
Almost 60k miles and no major accidents. Doing OK over here =]
