Why don't you just buy a tent and a pogo stick so you can claim total victory?
You’re just jealous because your neighborhood sucks so much worse than mine.
Anyhoo you were right, the Africa Twin is a much better choice than a CBR1000, on the street you’ll rarely get the chance to unleash all the horses the CBR1000 has, especially in the twisties. Straight lines don’t count.
Once while up in Connecticut while on my KLR650, when leaving Marcus Dairy I fell in behind a leather clad color coordinated fast guy on a GSXR1100. (at that time the hottest street bike around). Granted, following some guy down a tight mountain road is MUCH easier than being the guy in front, all ya gotta do is follow his line and especially pay attention to his brake light as he reacts to stuff you can’t see yet. Flogging that KLR I was able to stay with him for about five miles, then the road straightened out and he disappeared into warp speed.
