Don't even try and figure out why people do the things they do.Could have been high on drugs or alcohol who knows,it happens everywhere.He could have just got laid!I was young once and did a lot of stupid things,youth is a tough time in our lives.

If his death wish comes true, certainly hope it only takes one body bag to clean up with.

 

Can't fix stupid!

 

We all gotta go some way. My sister saw a guy get killed while paddling a kayak with a tour group near Vancouver Island. A pod of Orcas were swimming nearby, one breached and smashed right down on top of him. I thought to myself...what a way to go!

 

Well...the world can always use young organ donors.

 

If that is you in your pic, then there were scary fast production bikes and you just weren't riding one. The Kawasaki KZ 750 and 1000 in the 70's could would carry all the speed you wanted to kill you.

Now if you are older than you look and were in your 20s in the 60's then there was not a comparable bike to the modern crotch rockets.


and, as a note..... I don't condone these guys for riding crazy. And doing it in traffic is lunacy. And I worry for them and those they may injure. BUT. A lot of you guys clearly didn't ride when you were in your teens and 20's. Speed on a bike is part of it. If you were riding in your teens and 20s and weren't into speed and other idiot antics, you should have been at the library instead. You weren't normal.

In decades of owning bikes, there are only 2 bikes I have owned that I have not topped out. My current bike and the bike previous to it (a GSXR). I have no desire to top out my current bike and I never had the ***** and opportunity to top out the GSXR.

My guess is I am old enoughg to be alot of you guy's father. Yet you guys are acting like old grandpas.

 

Seems to me that "Natural Selection" works real good. Stupid genes will not be passed on from him if he succumbs..

 

Some on here have done stupid risky things. It is easy to spot those that were sheltered while growing up. We don't need new laws made from knee-jerk reactions to stupid actions. **** happens and stupid hurts.

 

Completely correct....often the first reaction is to create a law that (at best) can't be enforced, or (at worst) becomes an opportunity to further restrict our rights (including the right to be stupid at some point in our lives). There are those that think motorcycling or allowing people to eat hamburgers (or any number of other things that can potentially prove dangerous) is too stupid and risky to be a lawful activity.
