For the regular track riders, do you find yourself riding slower on the streets/canyons?

Depends on the group. If I'm w/ some Noobs, I don't mind going slow.
If I'm w/ certain friends and familiar w/ their skill level, I open up the throttle a bit.

Heck, I'm slow on the streets and at the track! But the more track days I do, I find I'm becoming a quivering mass of spookiness on the street.

riding a bike built for speed anything less than 10mph over the speed limit is a wast of my time.
I would rather stay home and surf the www on my extreme high speed interweb connection then ride a Rice Rocket slow

I Drag Kneepucks In The Canyons Because I Feel That Its Safer I Can Keep The Bike More Upright By Doing So I Can Ride At 80% And Drag Knee And Still Be Safe Because Thats A Safe Margin For Me.
I Drag Knee On The Street Because I Feel That Its Safer It Keeps The Tyres Sticky And Going Faster I Avoid More Cars

Hehe.
I don't even ride on the street anymore, the track ruined it for me. Well except for yesterday when i rode my step mom's Triumph 875 for 140 miles.
It looks exactly like this, no shit lol... I couldn't stop singing "Born to Be Wild"
