    Those rockets are not for me. They are nice and all but I will just killmyself on those.

    A fat low short with ape bars and some cubic displacment is plenty.

    I did not know a #### thing about motorcycles until 15. A friend with a little honda 750 I think they were called introduced me to it. But later in life a redneck friend had me run around on a yamaha in the hills.

    I'll stick to quarter horse. At least the animal wont run into trees. Much.

    In baltimore there was a pack of 24 in two rows getting a horrible time from the cars around them. They had a support surburban trying to do a bit of blocking from the back towards the Fort Tunnel on 95 split.

    I went ahead and positioned my 18 wheeler with them and the cars now had absolutely no choice but to go around me. Tucked them all in nicely through the tube.

    That worked out really well for them. They were on way to DC for some sort of POW vets event. So we run with them a ways down towards there.

    #1 rule in riding: look where you want to go, not where you don't.

    I once went over about an 80 foot drop in BC. :eek:

    Speed wasn't a problem he just forgot to lean and then got scared and forgot how to counter steer.

    I’ve heard that the average life span of a new crotch rocket is 8 hours. 8 hours from showroom to insurance claim.

    Exactly. More than likely an inexperienced rider.

    I miss my crotch rocket days sometimes. :p
