I don't really like any of the 'mites'.
Carving up the road! Since my nerve damage in my shoulder in '06, I've been somewhat babying my arm + bike due to not having enough strength (and confidence) to ride like I used to. Well, that seems (mostly) all gone now! Did a Great Ocean Road ride today and WOAH..... I was getting that feeling of carving up the roads again and having almost if not complete control of the bike with regards to my right arm/shoulder 
It was a beautiful feeling! And able to do 100%+ of the recommended corner speeds again with feeling 100% in control at all times was simply magnificient for me! And I am still watchful of my injury but as said, I was doing speeds where I was 100% in control, no feeling "a bit worried" after some corners for possibles as it was all back to "normal" like the old times! I still am not riding the fastest of course, simply because the speed limits back in the day of 100km/h aren't there for most of the trip and I'm not one to break speed limits where Mr Plod are possibly there to help relieve my wallet of my $$$$ so ,,|, to them and I go quick in places that doesn't give them a chance to "bust me" for speed limits due to taking lots of corners on the GOR at the 80km/h speed limit (remembering recommended speed limits of the 35-50km/h are not LEGAL speed limits, just recommended
And just to add one gripe, got it annoys me where some car (sometimes truck or caravan !!!) is doing around the recommended corner speed which is anything from 40-70% of what I would do in those same corners on my bike and they pass a heap of the "Please consider following vehicles" signs with "slow car" pull ofs but they continue to drive probably in their own little shut off world thinking they aren't slow but to other(s), they are.
I don't let it bother me except in a couple extreme circumstances and with the (sometimes) stupid rule of no overtaking on single unbroken lines where it used to be, less than 1-2 years ago that if it was "safe" to overtake in one's view, you could overtake. Great for mbikes with quick acceleration but now it blows due to being possibly booked for overtaking SLOW vehicles in a second or two from crossing an unbroken single line. I prefer not to break road rules even if I think it's a stupid rule imho. Lots bigger things in life to worry about
Once again, I LOVE the feeling of carving up the roads again on my bike. Such a great feeling, I
the adrenaline :D And I apologise if any spelling errors, I'm jumping back on the bike to head off to the pool to meet my wife + baby as we've been exercising at gym + pool plus taking our 11 month old into the pool, she LOVES it!!!! Had to RUSH my post!!!!
*edit*
HA.. Forgot to mention, 100% of the corner speeds means double, 100% (on top of the original) corner speeds,
