Here's how I knew I was in for a sleepy day today: my first thought after swinging a leg over the Triumph was, "Aaah, comfy."
Not that the Speed Four has particularly extreme ergonomics, but it is a sportbike. Comfort comes second to performance.
Anyway, when I'm sleepy I can't get comfortable unless I contort myself into some unnatural position. So hopping on a sportbike and tucking in feels absolutely wonderful.
And the adrenaline kick that follows shortly afterwards isn't bad either.
As I rode in to work this morning, I found myself stuck behind a slow minivan in the HOV lane. Mildly irritated, I glanced down at my speedometer, figuring this jerk was rolling along at a leisurely 45 miles per hour. Nope. I was going 80.
Since that was, actually, a totally reasonable speed, perhaps even a bit faster than I usually go, I backed off and started to imagine the scenario of getting pulled over for speeding.
"Well, you see officer, I gave up coffee, and I gotta wake up somehow."
I don't know if that would fly.

It beats the hell out of Red Bull too.
It would fly about as well as a hippo on a hang glider....
Excellent! Made me chuckle... A real pearl :)
Don't know if it would fly? Isn't that what you were already doing?
