I'm being serious. The only time I've seen bikes take out other bikes is on the track where that's a definate danger. But on the street, I've never heard of a speeding biker taking out aninnocentbike. Maybe I've lead a sheltered life, I don't know.

Are you kidding? Please ride far away from me.

How does my riding fast ever put anyone other than myself at risk?

"Nora Cardona and her husband, Boris, took a rare half-day ride on their beloved Harley-Davidson to look at custom-built choppers on display at Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach Saturday."
She was killed by a speeding sport bike rider, left husband and two children behind.

"A picture is worth a thousand words. The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.
The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over fromhe force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly."

Biker runs light and rams cop car in Qns.
Body of motorcyclist lies covered by white sheet near his wrecked Suzuki speed bike and helmet as police inspect the scene at Queens Blvd. and 71st Road, in Woodside, early yesterday.
A motorcyclist on a bike built for speed died early yesterday after he zoomed through a red light and crashed into a police car, cops said.
The rider was speeding west on Queens Blvd. when he blew a light at the corner of 71st Road in Woodside and hit the cruiser's rear passenger door at 1:30 a.m., police said.
The 31-year-old motorcyclist, who was on a powerful Japanese Suzuki speed bike, died on the spot, cops said.
Witnesses told cops that the man sped through a red light - with one saying he appeared to be going as fast as 100 mph.

When I am around cars however I mostly do the speed limit.
The difference is place and time, which it sounds like you understand.

Maybe it's because I spend 90% of my riding on two lane twisties in the mountains, but riders going too fast need to stay away from me because they do impact my safety.
If you've never seen a bike coming at you in your lane, then you are lucky with your sheltered life

No, I did not contradict myself. I said there is a place and a time for speeding. Speeding when others are around puts them at risks.
