Hey man, that's the media and general populace for you. The rider will almost always be in the wrong in the public's eye. When a sportbike is involved, speeding is automatically the cause...regardless of the reality. Part of that is because of the negative reputation we have with the general public, and partly because smaller objects simply appear to be moving faster. A bike going 50mph vs. a drump truck traveling 50mph is perceived much differently because larger items appear to move more slowly.

Don't let your guard down out there, every car has the potential to pull out in front of you, might as well assume they're going to.
