I read a lot of Harley boards too, you don't see too many of those guys going down. That's all I'm sayin'. Most cruiser guys are laid back and putt around at the speed limit.
It's just what happens when you get on top of a machine that's so fast and responsive though. I know I had no self control on my Honda, so I sold it. It's just too easy to go fast for cheap, and a lot, not all, sport bike guys seem to migrate to smaller, economic cars. Going from a slow ass econobox to something lightning quick like a liter sport bike is total system shock. It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.
