Crotch Rocket Sighting
This morning, before sunrise, I was driving on I-485 in south Charlotte. The weather conditions were mid 30's, wet roads,and dense, dense fog....probably 1/8 to 1/4 mile visibility. I was traveling at 60 m.p.h. During this drive, a crotch rocket blew past me, in the left lane, and just as he/she went by me, the squid pops a wheelie. There were no reports of a dead motorcyclist this morning.

RE: Crotch Rocket Sighting
I saw one on I 77 heading into Charlotte from
Fort Mill Saturday morning at 6:45AM while the
wife and I were on our Ultra. We followed him
down 485 for a while also. He was running a
pretty steady 80MPH.
My wife was impressed there was another
motorcycle on the road Saturday morning at
the freezing temps there were. Normally we
are the only motorcycle on the road here in
the cold winter weather.
BTW: Friday a young man died on a Sport Bike
in Rock Hill. He was not speeding,no drugs or
alcohol,he was wearing full safety gear and the
police can not figure out what happened at all.
They say he just seemed to have hit a curb for
no apparent reason they can find.. [&o]

Traveling for Opelike, Al to Columbus, Ga I was doing the speed limit, 65, and 4 crotch rockets came by me like I was in a funeral prosession. Far as I know, they all make it to Columbus.

RE: Crotch Rocket Sighting
Down here in Pinellas County, they drive like the speed limit is for everyone else. I couldn't count the number of times I've almost had a hood ornament on my work truck because of one cutting in and out of traffic and flying around me. Between them and the elderly drivers, it almost makes me want to ride public transit. I did say "almost".

RE: Crotch Rocket Sighting
We saw the reamins of a crotch rocket pull in to the gas station midway between Blue Ridge and Suches, GA on Saturday. The rider didn't look too beat up, but there were no fairings or plastic anywhere on the bike except around bolts. I have no idea what model bike it was.
