MORE for the endangered species list...

[arizona_x-runner]

Ya know it, you see it, and most wonder... HOW THE **** do these squidly dip****s survive? AND YET, they're individuals that feel sorry for these asshat clowns after they wreck, wrecking meaning that squids OWN fault. I guess maybe I'm lacking sympathy, though I save it for people that deserve it I guess. I dunno... maybe in a secluded parking lot with no cell phone reception, they can go about their "skillz" or whatever they think they have. But on a public road or such... it's just endangerment for the innocent and public around them.


Here's to some more asshats of America...

i can only watch half of those before i get squeemish. some are idiots for sure. some are not harming anyone but themselves.

i can't say anything. i've done illegal things on public roads, but i don't have a bike, otherwise you probably would have seen me in the vid. :stupid:

Even worse are the ones, though maybe because they reassure themselves they are good... when they're not, that NOT wearing any protective gear is so much cooler (squidlier)... :dontknow:

Just gives me an "Excedrine headache THIS BIG". :laugh:

 

[4VsX]

The last guy flips and flips and flips on to his feet. Lucky.
This are some of the reasons im selling my bike.

 

[SickRedXRnr]

my body hurts.... ill stick to a truck with four wheels, a top, and tons of metal surrounding me JUST incase.....

 

[Super Werty]

I dont understand the guys with no shirts on..thats just asking for it

 

[BlackCat]

And we wonder why bike insurance is so friggin' expensive ???

Get enough purebred morons on bikes, have 'em wreck, then file oodles of claims...

I have a spotless driving record, yet an insurance quote for an 08 Kawasaki Versys (a dual sport, not even a sport bike) was $1400/yr. A Honda 954RR and a Yamaha FZ1 were both in the $1800/yr range. I've heard of ppl getting quoted $6000/yr for a Hayabusa...

 

[DERRIXRYD]

Helmets are made for those very same reasons...I don't know why bikers whine about helmets..here a few good reasons for them. :dontknow:

 

[RedXRunner]

ouch can not watch all of them.... .look blastap! stop doing tricks:thumpdown:


justs ride with your ***** hanging ....girls like that more.

 

[blastap]

how come my name had to be brought up, but really i love me some "aggressive" riding but wrecks happen. i have done the stunt bike thing and mainly just ride the drz like that. i have been getting into dragging the kneee around town as of now. BUT what if your in full leathers and bust your ass on camera while coming out of a corner wide azz open is that still considered quidley? there will always be that tension between roadracers and (god i hate this word) stunters when in fact eachother can learn alot from eachother.

 

[Simplex Effect]

Stunting on public roads is asking to be killed...

Riding without leathers is plain retarded.

 

[T0LLPHR33]

arizona x-runner and blastap: i agree with both of you guys. I naturally started riding street bikes because i rode a lot of dirt bikes. In Hawaii (Big Island) we have nothing but long open roads.

In high school i used to do more road racing...but around my senior years started to get more into stunting. I strongly believe that both aspects can learn a lot from each other....stunters and road racers a like.

My only problem are guys who thing that are BA...**** happens...that's why you wear a helmet, gloves, boots, and leathers. You can't predict when you are going to crash. 1 thing with street bikes; we can go down from a meazly pebble in the road or some dirt...but at the same time you can crash just by getting cut off from a inattentive driver. why spend months in rehab for something that takes 2 minutes to put on.

I'm lucky enough where I have never layed down any of my street bikes. I have got into some hairy situations before but managed to keep my bikes on 2 wheels and not lying on the pavement. I'm sure riding dirt bikes for most of my life really helps out but at the same time i know my riding level and I'm not trying to waste my life or body on a dumb idea as like not wearing a helmet.

Yeah most of those guys are the videos think they are BA...that's why you see all those crashes. too much throttle, not feathering back break on wheelies...guys not installing steering dampers before they attempts indos/stoppies...it does take a lot of skill to stunt and road race but it also takes a lot of practice...

Stunting on open highways and streets is very stupid...But i would be a hipocrite if i didn't admit to throwing a wheelie or two, a stoppie/indo here and there, and a burnout or two...yeah its an adrenaline rush...but i'm a little older and a little smarter...+ if you caught by cops...a revoked license, tickets, fines, maybe jail time...not worth it IMO

 

[InkedRunner]

What a bunch of dumb @sses. Thats all I got to say.

 

[dak-rt-2a-XR]

this is exactly why I dont and probably never will own a bike. That looked painful

 

[blastap]

tollphr33 i get what your saying but if i am comfortable and able to do what i do on the street without harm to myself and others than why not?

 

[TitanRattler813]

tollphr33 i get what your saying but if i am comfortable and able to do what i do on the street without harm to myself and others than why not?

That comfort creates a false sense of security... so many people know and use the saying

... all it takes is that ONE time.

I can't talk down to or talk at anyone because I myself have been guilty of the whole "young and invicible" state of mind. The limits get pushed further and further until that one time when something goes wrong. No matter how safe we feel or think we are, there are always elements around us that we have no control over.

 

[blastap]

titan i have busted my azz plenty to not have a false sense of security, i know my limits and i also know there are variables that i cant control(wind,cars,part failure,even a twitch wrong) so yes its illegal but i do not get in the way of people and i again know my limits. i cant speak for the idiots that dont wear gear for the fact that its not ''cool'' .

 

[TitanRattler813]

well you're right... your most important words were "without harm to myself and others"

As long as you don't put anyone else in a compromising situation (with even the potential of endangering anyone else) then that's what separates you from the idiots :top:

My example was in relation to a situation like this:
Say I'm in a car and I'm driving behind someone on a bike. This experienced rider (fully geared or not) decides there's enough room in front of him for a quick harmless wheelie. There just so happens to be a slick spot, or rock, (or whatever) somewhere on the road and this person goes down in the middle of the street. If I see him fall and slam on my brakes and get rear ended or swerve to not run over him and end up hitting something, I'm gonna be P.O.ed til no end. Unlike the situation where I'm behind a rider who is riding normally and has to lay it down because of an unavoidable obstacle in the road or whatever. Then I wouldn't be so upset about sacrificing my vehicle to spare that rider's life.

Don't get me wrong, I love street bikes and if I thought I was disciplined enough and could afford it, I would have one right now... but there are plenty that have them that don't exercise that discipline and put others in unusual situations (regardless of whether they turn out well or not).

 

[arizona_x-runner]

... but if i am comfortable and able to do what i do on the street without harm to myself and others than why not?

Because it's against the law. Because a person is comfortable doesn't mean a car driver is comfortable with it. A driver could panic, freak out or something... sending themselves into another lane or such to avoid you (whether thinking you were maybe going to wreck or such) and then create an accident for themselves or other motorists.

Maybe in a parking with no acutal people trafficing it... could be ok, but why a public road with cars on it? Just makes no sense to me.

 

[BlackCat]

Yeah, I'm know gonna get chewed on and I know you're not gonna like what I have to say.

... But it doesn't change the fact that it's illegal...

I'm sure a lot of the kids in that video had the same feeling, "I know what I'm doing"... even riding (or even driving) legally you entertain risks. Stunting, racing and whatnot just exponentially multiply those risks... regardless of how good a rider you are - or think you are.

... Like they say "Pride before the fall"...

What makes it worse is that on public roads, it's a truly uncontrolled environment. That's why we have laws... to make things as orderly and controlled as possible. When someone breaks those laws, they risk overturning the control factor and endangering themselves --- and everyone else around them.

... Period ...

Okay, go ahead and chew on me...
