Thanks Dave!
I read those articles before, good advice all around, and yes... part of the reason we ride what we ride.
Its a lot more enjoyable to me to use all of those ponies, rather than not be able to "legally" use them and have 100 of them left to stand on the side and watch.
For those of you who want to experience the bigger CC bikes, rent one, get the insurance that goes with it, but rent one, they are a lot of fun if you play safe (well, twist it a time or two just to get your heart rate up).
I really have never seen the need to rent a big bike for the Dragon or twisties (I have ridden my ol' Road Glide 1348cc in the twisties, it was like a Cadillac on a race track), but would one day like to rent a 600 or higher sports bike just to see what I could do, even though I wouldn't be able to do it faster than my 300, twisting the throttle between turns would be fun.
I started out on small cc bikes in dirt, but growing up I have never seen the "need for speed" all the time. I like dirt track racing when I was a pre-teen, it was a blast, but now... well, I break easy so I would want to do it on a flat track with the right gear.
