That wasn't good. It'll just give em a reason to pass laws againt sportbikes.

No, I didn't.

Would it help if we did burn outs in front of his house in my Mercury Sable?  I promise to wear my Mercury owner signature blue socks and plaid sport coat.

 Maybe, It was a segment on sportbike deaths and groups like the Starboyz on the street. Lots of film of wheelies on the interstate and other lunacy. On the National news, it suggests something should be done.

Probably will. Look at the number of insurance companies that are not writing them anymore. I see tiered motorcycle licensing nationwide in the near future (and I support that).

Here's a link to the video.......

Pretty lame comment about how tracks arn't accessible!!!!!

Rick

And why should they be accessable?

If we're talking about stunta's...  It's dangerous.  If they were using Gold Wings, would they outlaw them too?  I think XSBA and all that stuff should just stop.  It's only hurting the image of law abiding motorcyclists.

It's all a crock of sh*t, they don't want to be on a track cause no one will see them. Ever here of a drag strip? These toolboxes could get there rocks off there in a controlled environment but choose not to cause it's not cool.

I think you're hitting it on the head.  

You could go to some warehouse area and fall down all you want and know one would know, and I wouldn't have to care if they bled to death...at least they won't take out a church group or a family of three going on vacation.

Crap,

Can someone give a quick little synopsis of what happened?  ??? That link won't play on my computer for some reason.

Thanks,
Ray

I just wish the stuntas were using some other type of bike.  They don't need a bike that can turn.   :-/  

It wouldn't play on my computer either but a co-worker who saw it was ranting about it earlier...  What ever happened to "You meet the nicest people on a Honda"?  It used to be "What's the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a Harley?  Where you put the dirt bag".  Now it's the opposite.  With the new 400 horsepower cars coming out, maybe in  few years the fad will shift back to cars and I'll be able to afford a newer bike  8)

alot of the stunna's don't even ride on the street anymore. I am freinds with several of the top riders in the country and they trailer the bike to a location that is A private property or B no traffic the people on the road stunt'n are definately killing sportbikes.
They have as much right to do what they love as we do racing. If wheelies are so bad why so we love to see them at the end of a race or why are they on almost every CBR or R6 comercial.
By the way I don't stunt and my wheelies are garbage.
