All the guys I ride with are my level or lower, so no worries about that, unless they are riding way over their heads.

Yea and the word "trust" encompasses knowledge of their skill, riding style, maturity level, etc.

Slow on unknown, moderate when I know them. Almost never more than 6/10's even when I know them well.

I can go balls out and drop a knee every time on a few roads that I know well by my house, but out of this environment I slow down alot

Yeah, but I'd be wiling to bet your 6/10s is faster than most people's 8-9/10ths

I actually rode the fastest I've ever ridden today. It was on very familiar roads.

I hit 160 in a stretch where I've never even reached 100 in before. Dropped my front strips down to 1/8 of an inch hard on the gas all the way.

I had one of those days today as well "guess my angel was with me today"

Ehh I'm slow as shit anyways... I ride about the same... but then again I don't have any really familiar road... as Mississippi's roads aren't any better than Florida's.

the only road I pushed a little harder was 2-3 runs in at the Gap... but even then with so many idiots I can't do it for spurts of two or three corners... too worried about fuckers coming into my lane... (happened 10 times in 8 total runs before Indy.)
