Give me one good reason this shouldn't be legal

[UnrepentantLiberal]

[rrneck]

1. He's having way more fun than me. nt

[annabanana]

2. sweet jesus that is TERRIFYING!

kaTHMP kaTHUMP kaTHUMP

[teddy51]

3. Perhaps because he/she are traveling at about 120 MPH and there is nowhere

in any State/Province that it would be legal.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

11. The laws aren't working.

People speed anyway.

[JoeInNy]

54. Ugh......299 km is a bit faster than 120 mph. It's 186 mph.

Which is the maximum for this bike.
There's actually an electronic item in there that makes sure you don't go past 186.
I have a ZX14R and have one of those too.
Only difference I never go more than 10% past the speed limit.

[Jumping John]

4. I heard it is legal if you don't get caught and I think he could outrun the cops.

[teddy51]

16. The cops actually caught this person via youtube and charged them. Sorry, but

that is endangering everyone on the road around them.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

31. Maybe their cars...

...but not their radios.

[RedStateLiberal]

5. Dayuuum!

Dat mofo be CRAZY!

[RKP5637]

6. Wow, just plain wow! n/t

[tabasco]

7. Because there are other people on the road that could be killed.

What a stupid fucking question.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

14. Statistically, not that many people die

from being hit by speeding motorcycles.

[Egalitarian Thug]

45. Everyone hit by a bike doing 180+ mph dies.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

52. I know.

I was just parodying the NRA.

[Egalitarian Thug]

64. Ah, got cha. n/t

[CurtEastPoint]

8. It's 185 mph, not that 120 isn't fast, too. What a fool.

He cares nothing about his own life or those around him. Smirking little 25 year old twit.

[baldguy]

9. Sand and/or gravel. Inattentive drivers. Wildlife crossings.

[liberal N proud]

10. SPLAT!

[Ikonoklast]

12. I saw a guy do something like that on the Ohio Turnpike a few years ago.

He was doing well in excess of 100mph, passing on the right, passing on exit ramps, driving recklessly, until he mis-judged a merging set of doubles coming down an on-ramp and drove directly into the tail trailer.

Good thing he was wearing a helmet.

His head snapped completely off his body, and they found it still inside the helmet a thousand feet further down the road.

People that do this with reckless disregard for other's lives should be charged with felony criminal endangerment.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

15. He only hurt himself.

He has a right to do what he wants.

[pkdu]

17. He was "lucky" he didn't kill anyone else ..and no he does not have he right to do what he wants. Nt

[UnrepentantLiberal]

19. These arguments work for the NRA.

Why not motorcycles?

[Travis_0004]

37. I would argue the bike should be legal, the speeding should not.

If that guy was doing 150 on a race track, I would encourage him to go out there an have fun.

I would not try to limit motorcycles to 250cc because some people may drive a 750cc bike too fast

[Ikonoklast]

18. Tell that to the driver of the vehicle he struck.

Have you ever got out of your vehicle to see what just struck you only to see human intestines draped over the DOT bar of your trailer?

[UnrepentantLiberal]

20. That would suck

but it's statistically insignificant.

[Ikonoklast]

22. OK, I see what game you're playing.

Play with yourself from here on out.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

23. Sorry.

I was just making a point.

[Fumesucker]

13. I don't think this guy ever gets over 50 mph but it's terrifying..

[cherokeeprogressive]

33. I think my stomach muscles are going to be sore tomorrow...

I was clenched the whole time I watched that.

[Fumesucker]

44. Somehow I don't think there's many Skoal dippers in Moscow..

Down here where I live someone would have opened a door to spit right in front of that guy..



To loosen you up a bit, here's a couple of full dress touring bikes on a cruise along one of the most famously crooked and scenic roads in America..

[cherokeeprogressive]

49. Oh now that's just insane. I noticed the guy on the Goldwing couldn't get too far over the side

though. I guess his balls were too big.

I used to ride a Ninja back in the day and now cruise on a Road King and the thought of tossing the RK into corners like that takes my breath away.

[Fumesucker]

53. I'm pretty sure both bikes were Goldwings..

The motor sounded right on the camera bike and the scraping floorboards and whimpering tires were an authentic touch too.

My son in law had a RK, it's definitely a beast you don't want to be whipping through the corners.

Keep it shiny side up and rubber side down!

[BarbaRosa]

35. That had me gasping on occasion.

It's good he had that horn or he might have been in trouble a time or two.

[Confusious]

39. Makes my eyeballs hurt. nt

[UnrepentantLiberal]

40. Nice.

I like the flag.

[johnnie]

21. I hate those fuckers

I've encountered a lot of those on the highway and you have no idea they are there until they are right up on ya. Not that I give a fuck if one of the idiots wipes out and spread their Darwin infused guts all over the highway, I just don't want to have to clean their shit for brains off my Jeep.

[Marr]

48. Other motorcyclists I know always refer to them as "squids".

Not sure why. Some say it's because they're going to end up with their intestines gliding gracefully behind them like the tentacles of the noble cuttlefish, lol.

[gollygee]

25. Motorcycles don't kill people

People riding motorcycles kill people. Or something.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

26. Wow, that's stupid. My guess is that they're just overcompensating for other *inadequacies*.

[spanone]

27. cause he could kill me or my kids or my friends or complete strangers

[randome]

28. Because he scared the shit out of other drivers.

Thereby making the probability of an accident much greater.

That's a no-brainer.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

34. But two guys with a gun scared a customer

carrying a gun and he shot the clerk. Small price to pay for freedom.

[randome]

65. That makes NO sense at all.

Are you saying that scared drives should deliberately try to ram the guy?

Your premise fell apart the moment you posted it.

Fail.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

66. It's a sliding scale.

Corner me on one talking point and I'll just move on lay another on you.

[randome]

67. Oh, that makes sense, then.

[flvegan]

29. Sorry, I can't whittle it down to just one. n/t

[Incitatus]

30. Because when the idiot crashes and kills himself,

(even if he's lucky he doesn't take anyone else with him) it's going to cause a traffic jam and make me late for work. nt

[randr]

32. Another Darwin candidate?

[snooper2]

36. At least he wasn't putting on makeup and talking on his cellphone

Besides, he's just trying to keep up with the Russians

Now this is hard core

[UnrepentantLiberal]

38. Now that's how you do it!

[Brother Buzz]

41. Smart dude, he's got his urine sample ready to go

[kentauros]

42. Because no matter what dumbasses like this think

the public roads are not a racetrack!

They aren't built like racetracks (and constantly maintained to those specifications), they aren't protected from wildlife wandering in, and they (usually) don't have any number of type and amount of road debris.

The other reason why this is just utterly stupid and reckless is that no matter how professionally skilled the driver, you simply cannot predict what unprofessional (and often quite unskilled) drivers are going to do.

I didn't bother to finish watching because I've almost had my own car clipped by these supremely stupid crotch-rocket assholes! While they obviously hold no regard for their own lives, I do value mine and those of my fellow drivers. Any wreck at that speed would kill anyone his bike hits as well as his body when it flies through an unprotected vehicle.

I really don't understand how crotch-rockets were ever allowed to become street-legal. They just aren't made for the public roads, and I certainly don't want to "share" the roads with them.

[LadyHawkAZ]

43. I'll give you two. Because:

1) he is not keeping to his lane and 2) he is travelling too fast for the amount of traffic on the road, both of which create traffic hazards. He's going way too fast for the road conditions; this speed is better suited to a less heavily traveled highway outside of town. What a dipshit. Hope he at least had the sense to wear a helmet.

Why?

[Zoeisright]

46. That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

And this is the dumbest post ever. If you think going that fast is "fun", that is just sad.

[Marr]

47. I saw a man die doing something like that.

He slammed into the back of a car that was doing about 70. He had to be doing at least 120. He just launched right over the car, causing it to wreck, of course, and slid I don't know how far down the highway.

I see what you're saying here, by the way, and I think the responses are very interesting.

[jmowreader]

50. Because you're not supposed to actively campaign for a Darwin Award?

[ForgoTheConsequence]

51. He's got nothing on this guy.

:25 seconds in. This is talent!

[RC]

55. There is a 2 lane county road going South from Bismarck ND that has a series of curve every mile.

The speed limit on the curves were 35 or 40 MPH, depending which curve and which way.
I used to do double or more the speed limit through the curves on a regular basis. It was a good tension reliever.

The last time I did that, half way through, I realized I could not remember going through the last curve. My mind had wondered. The was the last time I could go through those curves at those speeds. I tried. Just couldn't it any more.
I don't have a bike anymore, but I do miss the horizon tilting back and forth sometimes. (Both foot pegs had scrape marks from going through turns.)
The only time I dumped it, I was taking it easy on a city street and a passenger shifted their weight half way through a turn at an intersection to look at something.


Another time I was on the interstate East of Bismarck and some bad boy on a rat going the other way was laying straight out, with his feet crossed on the handle bar pivot and his hands behind his head, resting on the padded sissy bar, just going down the road, doing the speed limit - 75 MPH or so. No helmet, as if that would make a difference, but he did have a bandana on his head for protection.

[DisgustedCynic]

56. Do you own...

... a vehicle which makes use of an internal combustion engine? If so. you have blood on your fucking hands.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

57. I do, but that's OK because I know my rights!

[DisgustedCynic]

59. Who

decided that your punk rock band's single is a collector's item? Y'all were alright, but you were definitely no Crucifucks.

" target="_blank">

[UnrepentantLiberal]

60. Damned if I know.

It did it on it's own. It's like a pirate ship on the internet. A recent copy of it sold for $1,200.00.

Now who the fuck are the Crucifucks? (Excellent name for a punk band.)

[DisgustedCynic]

61. Seriously?

Sorry, I've been a member for quite a while, but I haven't gotten the hang of the software yet.

Sweet! It worked that time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crucifucks_%28band%29]

[UnrepentantLiberal]

62. Yep, believe it or not.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=370624792925

[DisgustedCynic]

63. Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I meant "SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!!!!? You don't know who The Crucifucks are?!???!!!!???!?!!!! They came out of Lansing, MI in '82. They released their recordings on Alternative Tentacles. Signed to a deal by Jello himself.
