I've blown a tire out while riding before, but if I was going a buck fi'teen, I wouldn't be here to post about it, you know?

well as for sportbikes, they are build for laping race tracks.... plain and simple. so yeah the brakes are built for 120mph plus stops over and over again...

now as far as stunts... no, and a lot do starve for oil and blow up when wheelied for a long time. because they were not built with this in mind but the same SV will lap a race track all day long..


just know the type of bike your riding and what it was ment for.



and wear helmets people...wtf, are they really that bad to wear while on a harley? hell i can't stand to ride without ear plugs and my helmet. harleys have to be louder then my bike...

just seems really uncalled for.
