    For those with motorcycles or wanting to buy one

    Just be careful with these things, they arent toys. A buddy I work with was just killed a few days ago when he went around a corner too fast, hit a curb and was thrown into a guardrail. His chest was crushed. Too many people are buying bikes they arent ready for, or riding careless and stupid. In the past few years I can think of about 5 or 6 people I'm freinds with or know of, who have been seriously hurt or killed in motorcycle accidents. Just a couple weeks ago that guy who was killed and I were having a contest to see who could do more wrist curls. Now he's gone.

    Today's sportbikes are unbelievably powerful. Its a shame to see inexperienced riders buying bikes that are way over their skill level. Its a recipe for disaster. I have seen many guys around my area crash their brand new liter-bikes, a couple of deaths. And I'm not talking about your friend, just in general. Sorry to hear about your bro.

    Sorry to hear about that. I have yet to have an issue on a bike, i am a very paranoid and cautous rider though. I know my own limits, i just don't trust other people on the road.

    I see guys riding Hayabusas as first bikes nowadays. You could slip your wrist just a hair more than you want to and that thing will get away from you quick.

    There are alot of kids riding crotch-rockets that should'nt even be driving a car.
    Weaving between cars, riding peoples asses, trying to race anyone and anything, and doing what they think is showing off...

    Exactly right!!! They think because they are on a bike and not a car that they can swerve in and out of traffic carelessly and go 100 mph all the time. No, it's too bad my bro is gone, but I'm with you on that one

    sorry to hear about your friend..sounds like he lived his life in the pursuit of happiness and health. I've ridden a bike for almost 15 years and get a big scare at least once every couple of months. Between jackholes on cellphones, reading the newspaper, putting on makeup or just being retarded while driving you never if the ride your on will be your last. Be careful out there.
