"Mad Max–like high-speed motorcycles"

Damn - I want me one a them! Then I'm gonna tinker with it to generate more power....


I do wince everytime I see/hear of invincible fools out there making us all look bad. Then again, I've been guilty of countless double-yellow passes in the mountains, and what's 'clean' to me may be reckless endangerment in a cager's eyes - so who am I to throw stones...

That's crazy talk, man.
This is the internet... throw some self-righteous judgment out there. It feels good

For every "crotch rocket" Mad Max, there are at least two fart-can ricer racers that behave the same way, just with 4 wheels instead of 2.

sadly, the problem in florida is that far too many flat out RETARDS get sportbikes and think the sole purpose is to ride 187mph all the time if theres room.

no wonder I'm sick of the sportbike scene.
