I just got one thing to say about motorcycles while we are on the topic... Why the hell do the majority of motorcycle riders insist on riding right on the yellow line??? I swear, its bout the stupidest thing you can do on a crotch-rocket. My truck would win everytime in a head on collision, it just makes no sense to me.

I've always wanted to get a bike- until i saw those photos. I will never get one now.
How are both your friends? Tell them to stick to sleds- softer landings.
Hope they (and u) are ok.

he was cut off by a truck and t boned it at about 40 mph. We'll all be fine and yes there both my friends. You shouldn't not get a bike because of these stories, bikes are great, but like anything else if you do it enough your gonna crash. I just posted these to show that it could and probably will happen to you so be careful out there. I still do wheelies and ride too fast but I'm willing to except the truth of what can and will happen. I just hope to so people that it does happen.

Hey Matt, around here we use the term Donorcycle instead of Squid!
It's all about the ride to get there, the destination doesn't matter!

^ Don't worry. He will be OK! He is ready to accept the truth of what can happen since he enjoys riding too fast and riding wheelies

That was a cool vid matt, i need to move out by you to have some decent roads to ride that actually have corners. I haven't tried doing any wheelies mainly because like everything else once you've done it you have to do it more and better which usually leads to trouble. I know our bikes can do it and maybe a little later i'll try but never on a snowy road like that picture.
p.s Matt you should know from the other site that our engines blown up if the front wheel leaves the road for more than a second.

That's my old GSXR 750. We all ice race in the winter. But to answer your question lots of studs. It actually hooks really well.

Majority?? Funny I have never seen a rider ride on the yellow line.
Unless your exaggerating and mean close to the line in which case Its called blocking position.
