That's what sux, all it takes is one person being an idiot on a bike (any kind) and it makes people think badly of the whole group.(of whatever type bike they were riding) Just like anything else, it is a few idiots that make the rest of us look bad.

 

I understand that there are idiots on all types of bike, but due to the abilities of those machines (crotch rockets), they sure bring out the super moron in many riders. I know that there are safe riders on rockets, I see them everyday, however, around here I also see way too many show offs, escpecially when they see a guy on a Harley. It's like they are saying see what my bike can do and your Harley cannot. That's just been my experience with many of these riders.

 

Wow. After watching that a couple or 3 times that guy wouldve held that curve if he wasnt afraid to lean his bike a little, backed off the throttle a little and or used his front brake, a little, and didnt lock the rear brake! Classic.

(diagnosis: panic prolly a new rider)

Maybe he needed to attend one of them motorsickle safety classes

 

Most people on crotch rockets are young. It's good to be young and stupid! I did dumb things when I was young too. I would not put people in danger, but if no one was around, I got a little crazy!

I've already seen two rockets crash in front of me. I really wish they would pick someone else to crash in front of!!

I hope your mom will ride again!

 

Eh, people who ride like that eventually get what's coming to them. Unfortunately, all too often they hurt someone else in the process - just take it easy and give em room.

 

Already seen the utube video before. A dumb *** over riding his skill level. Nothing new there. As far as the dumb *** blowing by you on the crotch rocket. So what. He startled you and your Momma. I have had them blow by me doing at least twice what I was doing and I was ten over the posted speed limit myself. Startled me and made me shake my head. They were flying. Takes to long for me to heal now and I like to think that I have gotten a little smarter than that. Figure I would find them in a field ahead of me when they failed to make the curve. Didn't happen. Apparently they can ride. I like Mommas lets catch him attitude, unrealistic but very cool. Dude she could get you into a hell of a fight. Hope you are tough. The last thing I got to say on this is that just because some dumb *** is doing something dumb on a motorcycle ---that reflects on him and not me. If I hear a remark that starts like all you motorcycle riders or you bikers, I correct that statement there. I am me. I ride my motorcycle. They are them --they are not me. I am only responsible for my actions--not anyone else's.

 

American flag in picture and a Canadian EH? Border State? Nice ride.

 

you have idiots in two wheels four wheel six wheels etc...
also in every race...
also in every state, city, country......

Sooner or later death will find them... and you will be reading about them in the news!!

 

Spare us that crap, would ya'?

 

I had a similar experience in 1991, only the kid clipped my handlebar while passing on ta curve and sent me into the rocks, and I was on Honda. Thank god I didn't go over the other side.
