I have a 20 page sociology paper due next month on deviant behavior within society. I chose Sportbikes: Wheelies and high speeds on public roads for my subject. So I'm hitting up several (both predominantly race and street) forums for a little bit of insight from those that ride bikes. I have employees that can fulfill my needs with other perspectives.
So if you would be as kind, copy and paste the below questions and fill them in with your two cents.
Do/have you ride/ridden on a track?
Do you ride on the street regularly?
What is your opinion of someone riding a wheelie past you on the street while you're on a bike?
What is your opinion of someone riding 10 mph above the speed limit on the street while you're on a bike?
What is your opinion of someone riding 20 mph above the speed limit on the street while you're on a bike?
What is your opinion of someone riding 30 mph above the speed limit on the street while you're on a bike?
What is your opinion of someone riding at two times more or above the posted speed limit while you're on a bike?

Overall honest opinion:I am, I guess, one of those guys that generally cruises through traffic. Usually 10-15 above the limit, then when someone else comes along that is going faster, I try and beat them. While on a long trip, I keep track of who has gone past me, and 95% of the time I get past them later. The other 5%, they turn before I get them. Stupid I know, but thats how I am.

Do you ride on the street regularly? Used to- all the time. Now, not so much.
What is your opinion of someone riding a wheelie past you on the street while you're on a bike? "Why are you doing that here?" and, "Douchebag's giving the rest of us a bad name"
What is your opinion of someone riding 10 mph above the speed limit on the street while you're on a bike? Not bothered.
What is your opinion of someone riding 20 mph above the speed limit on the street while you're on a bike? A touch bothered.
What is your opinion of someone riding 30 mph above the speed limit on the street while you're on a bike? "You're going to end up as a stain somewhere."
What is your opinion of someone riding at two times more or above the posted speed limit while you're on a bike? I'll stop and get my phone out and provide the best description I can.
What is your opinion of someone riding a wheelie past you on the street while you're in your family vehicle? Pisses me off to no end.

Overall honest opinion: I am not bothered by quick-paced, aggressive BACKROAD riding. Nor am I bothered by off the beaten path stunting. However, there is a time and place for everything. Anyone doing either of these on high density, public roadways is a doucherocket.
