How aggressive do you drive your Busa?

[02GTFL]

I think I fit into #2.

I don't commute much on the BUSA. My job requires me to drive a company car most of the time.

I like the twisty bits of pavement that can only be found way outside of town. So, when on the BUSA, I usually take it really easy until I can get out there. Even when I'm there, I still ride with a lot of reserve.

Thoughts of my son stay with me, too. I could not imagine not being there for him. It seems as though the older I get, the more I have to lose.

I work my way through traffic like a knife to butter.

This is Cali. Southern Cali

I've worked too many crashes that resulted because of stupid decisions, many of these are always in the back of my mind when I ride.

For the most part I ride to stay away from traffic. If I come upon a pack of cars together I lay back until I can get through them safely. If I have some come up from behind I will speed up to keep ahead of them. I know this isn't always possible and when I can't avoid I just make sure to stay out of blind spots and bad positions and get away from them as soon as I can.

Then there are the other golden rules. I never pass at or near intersections as people can and often do make rush decisions to turn or pull out into traffic. I never hammer on it to pass a long line of slow traffic. If it's slow chances are someone else is wanting to pass as well. And I never turn it loose or run it hard around other traffic, there is a time and a place and traffic isn't either. And of course, always be aware of where you can go if any particular vehicle makes a sudden move, sure it won't save you every time, but if you have a plan and are aware of your surroundings you are far ahead of most riders. Beyond that wear the gear every time, dress for the crash and pray it never happens.
