are bike riders insane?

[golfiste]

a couple of weeks ago, an hayabusa overpassed five cars where the speed is restricted to 30 mph he overpassed the cars and there were cars coming in front of him it is really insane isn't it? i saw it live it frightened me a lot because this guy on the busa is lucky but also a kamikaze

so what do you think of bike riders are they insane?

[TT]

Well IMO yes... of course there are insane ones in a bad way or the normal biker.. insane because riding even at 100 km/h is dangerous

I consider myself a biker too, altough the only true bike I had was a Dyna Glide (and it's gone now), not really a fast one, bust still enough to kill you

So, well, yes basically to ride a bike is always insane when you carefully think about it, because even when beeing stopped at a red light if somebody hit you, it's not really that safe...
but crazy bikers doing Ghostrider stuff are sometimes to much

Some bike riders are definetly insane. When I go out to California to hang with my cousin (Monthly) He always goes out on one of his bikes and we were driving down the highway he was riding his race-spec Ducati 999R with a bunch of his friends and I was following In his porsche 911 turbo and he did a stoppie when we came up to traffic and he tapped his helmet on some soccer moms H2 (he was so lucky he wasn't going too fast) and the next day one of the other guys did a wheelie at about 120mph and wiped out descintigrating his bike all over the highway and he got pretty fucked up as well. Not something I'm too eager to get into.

Some bike riders may be insane, but it by also be that you are not accustom to see vehicles handle that way. Yes, people should use more common since when riding on public roads. And safe the high speed stuff for the track.

The street is not a track!!!!
if i want to race with my bike i go in a race track.....need for speed is dangerous!
in same crash ,city,the car are the guilty

say:"Casco ben allacciato,luci accese anche di giorno e prudenza sempre!!!"
sorry but i don't know thr translate
i think that the life is more important than a whellies or a stoppies or .....
start your mind before the bike or a car

[mhn3773]

i thought there was only 1 or 2 ducati 999rs in the us.....you your brother is prety lucky to have one

[zevolv]

you can buy a 999r now if you want one, the dealer near me has 3 but they aren't race bikes still very fast though. also minacious some bikers are alot more dangerous than car drivers.

Exactly, just like some car drivers are a lot more dangerous than bike riders. Surely you can see my point that it's the person behind the machine.

[mhn3773]

"its not guns that kill people its people pulling the trigger" same as that bikes kill people cars kill people planes kill people go peds have probably killed someone

the comon here is people i know that when i went to buy my first bike everyone in the world told me i was going to die shortly there after and most said a car would kill me =) so ill blame the people in the cars lol..jk

999r 30.000€
i think aprilia rsv 1000r factory 17.100€ is better

[zevolv]

true you can buy the aprilia rsv 1000r cheaper but the ducati is harder to find atleast in the states

[kawa22]

i've a friend that work at ducati performance....and he said that usa is great for sold ducati,in italy there are more and more ducati but 999 haven't the look of 916/99x, ducati factory was by american
i think that tamburini style (916,monster designer and now mv f4,brutale) is great
the 999 is not good design
