Riding over your head gets you killed be it 25MPH, or 120. Too many riders get into situations they can't control due to lack of experience, or skill and wind up dead. My goal on the road is to ride as long and accident free as humanly possible. If I can go fast on occasion that's cool, but I never push it to the point of my butt puckering with fear, or doubting my ability to control the bike. Good Lord willing I never will.
