I went for a short ride with a buddy on Sunday, he had a Ducati 750. We went increasingly faster from light to light. I've now seen real wheelies, through the gears wheelies. He used to race cb350's for years. I think if I had a faster bike like a 500 or 600, I would have kept up a little better, but he was going faster than I care to go. Like a tachometer, I have a red line that I don't cross, I call it the stupid line. When he gets his 350 cafe racer on the road, I'll go touring with him, but not when he's on the ducati. I think that if I wanted to get into racing souped up 350's he'd support me. He's got his own race bikes, but also has parts for a dozen more race bikes. 2 things stop me from going fast, tickets and bad car drivers. I'd really like to see what I could do on a track, and that's in the works for next year, but with my own stock bike. Till then, I plan to ride as safe as I'm able. I don't think I need 300 more cc's, but a 6th gear would be nice.
