Okay, the last time i wrote a long diatribe my safari quit "unexpectedly" and i lost it, but as the chinook pilot said, these dudes puling stunts on there crotch rockets is about as low on the risk scale to scooterists as anything i can think of. Now if the people blowing late yellow lights in their suvs were somehow showing off too... oh man, could we bitch about that! I just don't get how you guys don't think these extreme tricks are cool? guess you don't get how i do either... I have seen the same Harley gang almost get hit at least 10 times in my area, once i almost got nailed when one of em blew a light from like 5 cars back when i was turning left at the yellow... In that case i was like, "that's dudes gonna get smoked" BUT blowing a light on some loud overblown hog isn't cool; meanwhile pushing the limits on a sportbike is about as cool as you can get short of racing. Yeah it's kinda sad if they get hurt- but remember, they've surely wiped before, and they probably have friends who've died, but they still do it. I mean they're doing it for our entertainment, and i'm glad there's dudes out there with the balls to stoke me up.
Edit: i like vespas too.
