NPR story with video
Some of you may remember that I have/had ridden motorcycles my entire life (since I was 9) and stopped riding after my wife almost died on her sportbike in 2009. While watching the beginning of this video the script was already written. In my 100,000+ miles I have ridden on the street the only incidents I have ever had with other riders was with the type in that video. Guys riding sportbikes wearing little if any gear (usually Icon helmets, gloves and spine protectors) - I hate to say it but they are almost all the same, zero ****ing skills and all act like a bunch of thugs.
More than once I have told guys to back off as I wouldn't go pick them up out of the ditch when they wrecked...
If I had been in the same situation there would have been a lot more bikes run over, and I am a huge supporter of sportbikes.
****ing punks...
