I always started at the back of the pack, just to challenge myself. And on a good riding day would see 48/48 deg. lean angle on 200 street tires, which would get most of the chicken strips.
Quit when I saw two riders in our pack being medevac'd out of the Rockie mountains a couple of years back (after riding for 40 years). I always knew we were pushing it on public roads on borrowed time and should've instead done track days, but realized that the only difference was going to be broken bones vs. complete fatality. One thing is for sure, 186mph feels a whole lot faster when you're not inside a cage
