I'm soooo do not even want to reply to this if i can help it..
but please frank, at least try to keep from bashing the hell out of the people that just died in the rider down threads.... that's somebodys kid, friend or loved one. that just died and they may end up reading your shit... its just not needed. at that point to them it doesn't matter who's fault it was.
its not about the bike as much as the person that's riding it.... if no one ever invented a sport bike then all us guys would be crashing harleys by trying to build stunt bikes or corner carvers. there are just 2 different groups of bike guys. one likes to ride hard and fast, that's just what they enjoy and the other kind of bike is not even an option....(if it wasn't for bikes being fast i wouldn't ride one. to me that's the whole reason for owning one. i don't cruise ever, if i can help it. I'd rather watch tv) the other likes to just ride around and play badass. the ones riding harder crash from higher speeds and get hurt worse.
p.s. sorry kristal, but don't think the guy target fixed and crashed. i think he got scared, stood the bike up and ran wide.
hell after taking my bike around last night for a test ride after working on it. i was wondering to myself if I'd make it 6 months without my own rider down thread....

(sad to say but i may not, this bitch is fun)
