skyrider 0 #4 January 4, 2010 QuoteYep and very true, the public on the roads ARE trying to kill you. That is the number one point I drove home with my son, who has started riding his bike on the streets this year, not to just watch out, expect them to TRY and kill you! Then you are prepared for every stupid move they will pull! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BikerBabe 0 #15 January 5, 2010 yah, the PSA is aimed toward the idiots who like to pretend they're Rossi while riding their Hayabusas too fast on busy streets or twisty roads. They watch a couple rounds at Motegi and Laguna and think they can be as badass as the GP racers. I live near one of the nice "day rides" from San Diego and lemme tell you, the loud pipes crowd is annoying, but the Hayden wannabes are just stupid.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

skyjumpenfool 2 #19 January 5, 2010 Yup!!! All those people crashing in the video.... that's you and me! And there goes Hayden, riding around us laughing Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #20 January 5, 2010 Quote Yup!!! All those people crashing in the video.... that's you and me! And there goes Hayden, riding around us laughing eh, they all crash. I witnessed Rossi go down in a practice session at Laguna a couple years back...ouch. The trouble is, in the US, if I say "My husband raced motorcycles" people say stuff like "Oh, that motorcross stuff looks like fun!" or "My 5-yr-old nephew just got his first bike, he's racing in a kids' league, the jumps are really little, it's so cute..." Then I say "No, I mean he roadraced, like on a paved track..." and their answer is a look of shock: "Oh, like where they drag their knees! That's so SCARY!" And they walk away muttering... Basically, what I mean is, most sportbike riders in the US don't know roadracing exists, much less how to find a local track day...which only exacerbates the issue.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Same here in OZ re, track days, the problem is that most people (me included) dont want to risk throwing their day bike down the track. I spend a lot of time and money rebuilding my bikes, and risking them on the track would be a costly exercise. I have been wanting to get a cheap track bike for years, but never actually do. After this current rebuild, i'll look into getting a cheap Thunderbike for the trackYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
