Default When will they learn???

So here it is a nice 60-ish degree day sun is shining and I'm out for a ride to wherever I end up. Cruising down this country road I get passed by a couple of guys on crotch rockets when of them waves as he shoots by and I'm like ok whatever. A quick glance down the road and i see some cars and sure enough they close on that traffic quickly ...then I see one shoot around a car and duck back in quickly and causing the car to have to brake so he can get back into the lane before he becomes a hood ornament from on coming traffic. I thinks to myself ...yup it's only a matter of time. Sure enough not even five miles down the road I see two guys standing in a ditch with their helmets on the shoulder of the road. Seems one of the two couldn't handle the corner and dropped into the ditch judging from his clothes he took a tumble, but all his parts were moving and he wasn't squirting blood so I figured he'll live. I roll up to a spot to stop and theres a guy in a SUV there andI slide in in front of him and we walk back to where the two are in the ditch. We help the guy get his bike out iof the ditch and looking it over the gear shift is busted ...no more riding for you today. As I'm walking back to my bike the guy driving the SUV says to the sport bikes guy's thats why I'm getting what he's riding at he points at me... ya somethings just make your day!

Makes me want to carry a piece of pipe just so I can stick it in their spokes as they blast by.

When will people learn that it's the rider and not the bike. I know plenty of responsible sport bikers and I've seen plenty of people on every other style of bike that shouldn't be allowed to ride. I rode sport bikes for a number of years and never even came close to having and accident of my own making.

Good point - all shapes, flavors, and sizes make up the world of ID-10-Ts.

Good point! A stupid person could get killed on any bike not just a CR.

I called the cops to tell them two sport bikes were doing wheelies at 120mph on the 166 and just wiped out.
They asked me how I knew how fast they were going when the wrecked.
I said when I passed them on the V-rod I kicked the lead one over and the second one hit him.




Yah, it's all BS, but it could happen.
