Can You Say "Organ Donor"?

[thisismyusername]

He's an idiot, jeopardizing others, passing on the right, driving in the breakdown lane. He'll be dead at some point, I just hope he doesn't kill anyone else when it happens.

He's a pretty good rider but yes an idiot he is. I think it would be fun on a closed road but to risky to others on that highway. I'm thinking it wouldn't make any difference if he was an organ donor or not at that speed just what would be left.

The little bast*rd just wove his way through the maze, leaving me sitting there, pounding on the steering wheel, red faced and frustrated....

You'd think after all those years, I would have learned, but NO - I saw the running rabbit and, like a dumb hound, started woofing and chasing....

LOL...The "Hound Dog Syndrome" doesn't just strike rookies!

'Course, I've never caught it my own self...

That's just nuts! I kept waiting for him/her to crash. I saw one doing a wheeley at about 100 on I25 through Denver and all of a sudden traffic stopped. By the time we got there, they had what was left of the bike on a wrecker and were trying to clean all the blood off the road. It just doesn't make any sense to me!

yeah, most of my friends/acquaintances that have motorcycles get the jap rice burner bikes.. out here in the poconos, we have, 1. ****ty roads, 2. twisty turny mountainous roads. 3. alot of drunk red necks, 4. alot of drunk vacationers from the city. its just a bad idea. a guy i had known for several years and was friendly with actually passed away last summer.. had a high end sports bike.. tried passing someone who was going slow, which turned out because they were turning into their drive way, and hit the car at 80mph, the brake skid was about 40 feet long... died on impact thank god... theyre stupid unless you've got the right type of terrain to drive on.. i plan on picking a motorcycle up but its for liesur and just to cruise around, on a harley davidson type.

Idiots come on all kinds of bikes. I started out riding a 1200cc Suzuki Bandit when I was 16 years old. I'm still in one piece. I had that bike up until last year and now I ride a Kawa KLR650. An unskilled rider can be killed just as quick on a "Harley type bike" than on a sport bike.

For the most part it pretty well always ends with the last one you mentioned. They always say that you cant outrun a Motorola which is true, but sometimes they can outrun the constraints of anybody being in the area or being able to outrun the line of sight. You cant win them all....

There is a big +1....

[akhimark]

can you say "Stuck on stupid!" Hopefully his life insurance is paid up. I sure would like to be the policy beneficiary. I would have a much better chance of collecting soon than winning the Powerball.

No thanks on the lightspeed crotch rocket death machines... I'll stick with my Triumph America 800 cruiser...

Because that bike rolls off the factory floor with a mindset to kill it's rider

The bikes are just like guns it comes down to the monkey behind the controls. Sportbikes are no more dangerous than any other bike it all depends on who you have perched on top.
