Jeeez mo nelly.


Bunch of maby pamby finger pointing whistle blowers all the time... most likely the same types that buy these fancy sports cars and drive in the slow lane with the flashers on.


I ride the bike early on sundays on some back rural roads.

Same situation with the car back rural roads with no other cars on the road.


Forgot why I avoid sharing anything on the forums and getting into these discussions.

Most people are cool but the naysayers always try to rub everyone faces in the dirt and love to stand on their soap boxes preaching the good words. Then come up with these negative analogies etc.








Not trying to compare the bike with the car. I dont even wind them up that much. Just fun on rare occasions.



The bikes are just so fast that it makes the car seem pale in comparison is all I was saying. I know this is obvious. I do want to lighten my engine internals up.

This will happen.




tootles good fellows

 

^^^ 2 Things:

Drive cars. Ride bikes.



Other than that carry on.


PS: Bikes have made me lose all interest in modding cars for more power.

 

 

Kill yourself if you want to, but why risk killing the chick?

 

^^^ As previously mentioned, 2-up is a big responsibility.

 

 

32*F just as the sun is coming up and your going 124MPH & taking a picture of it.

lets get serious man, you can't be doing stuff like that. You've either got some huge cajones or a death wish.

 

I love how the people who point out someone's daft behavior [in/on a vehicle] somehow get relegated to the "slow lane"

What kind of response did you except when you post pics of double the limited in a car and brag about triple the limit on a bike with someone's little girl riding along?

You know, there are some of us who disagree with that kind of demostration, but are far some slow driving, fancy lads: I race on high speed tracks, surf, dive and participate all sorts of reasonably extreme hobbies (I probably dropped my first bike before you had your license), but feel like those kind of excessive speeds don't belong on public roads.

Take care ~

Don't forget the new field of cyberforensics. Anything you say on the internet can and most likely will be found in the event of of you being caught and prosecuted for any wrong doing.

That being said - people don't buy cars to top them out. Yes, speed is exciting, but many people appreciate and respect the cars which they buy and don't see the need to see how fast they will go. I'm not going to say that I've never driven in the triple digits and I'm not going to say that I never speed. Maybe I have hit triple digits on two lane country roads, maybe I haven't. Maybe I've driven through Deal's Gap at 60 mph, maybe I haven't.

The fact of the matter is that every time I take a risk, it is a calculated risk. As I've gotten older (Now the ripe old age of 20 :-)), I have slowed down a lot. I've got a serious girlfriend I care about, a family I love, and a whole future ahead of me that I won't want to waste because I wanted to go fast. My friends may ridicule me, but I have no reason to prove my worthiness in the car world.

Even in ideal conditions, things can go wrong. Yes, even on the Track.

It just surprises me, that even at the age of 31, you still think you are invincible. I'm not flaming you, and I may be looking way too far into it, but it seems to be a maturity problem, not an intense passion for speed. If you were really committed to speed, you'd be heading out to the Salt Flats. And don't say you can't afford it - if there is a will, there IS a way.

I ride bikes bikes too and have probably logged more hours straight in a saddle than many people have put in in a car. If you're so into bikes, then you're no stranger to the saying "There are two types of riders - Those that have gone down and those that will go down." The same can be applied to cars.

I understand the allure of speed, but realize that it must be balance with responsibility - and it's a tedious balance. Please understand that when you are on a public road you are responsible for not only yourself, but everyone else on and near the road.

If my grandmother were to live on that country road on your way to work and was out walking her dog at 6:48 in the morning (32 degrees outside) and you were to hit a small patch of ice/anything and "accidentally" hit and killed her, rest assured that you would not be driving, riding, seeing the light of day for quite a long time.

I wish you the best of luck on all your top speed endeavors and hope that nothing happens to you or anyone else. Just remember - no matter what you do, take responsibility for your actions and don't make up any excuses.
