Cool, long as you don't come back like ground beef

It sucks pushing yourself beyond your skill level to keep up with someone probably going beyond their skill level, when I veered into the opposite lane around a bend I just said screw that I'll catch up on a straight.

I met up with some older guy at a stoplight on a 10yr old Ducati and he said to follow him through some twisties and gave me some pointers. Thats the kind of riding I appreciate, not the riding in the first paragraph.
