It makes me angry when I see that for some reason. It's just stupid at those high speeds. I was in the car the other day and a group of 5 or 6 sport bike guys were going 70+ down the interstate in and out of cars doing wheelies and crap. Freaked all of the cars out. They would block all of the lanes and basically screw with the cars. Bunch of inconsiderate ******.
