Anybody can get on a bike and go fast..I've been riding for quite a while and I STILL find an empty parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays and practice slow speed maneuvers, swerves (which has SAVED my ass on numerous occasions), braking, U-turns, etc..I bought a cruiser to cruise and never ride faster than what I'm comfortable with (usually within 5 mph of the speed limit)..I maintain distance, move over and throttle down when being passed and ride within my capabilities..far too many young'uns just get on and go..the results are tragic in far too many cases..
Same here, I'm a devout coward on the things.
