Default Dallas motorcyclist and pedestrian killed

The Dallas news report said a guy on a sports bike was doing a wheelie in excess of 70 MPH in a 35 mph zone when he hit a pedestrian. The tachometer was stuck at 9,000 RPM's.

70 mile an hour wheelie?... "pedestrian, not in crosswalk didn't yield to motorcycle."
Something just isn't right with this story...

So a guy from the Hells Angles stabs somebody in a drug deal. That means we shouldn't like Harleys? Not getting your logic is all. To me if you're on two wheels your not in a cage. Period. There are responsible and and irresponsible riders on all kinds of bikes.

Regardless of the make of Bike is accidents like that puts us all in a bad light with the general public.. When they passed the No Wheelie law in FL was one of the few times I thought was a good thing ..

well my logic isnt we its me, i dont like rice rockets, i feel that they are over powered for the ability of most of the riders on them and too easily available to kids who have no place on them on public streets.
