The only way the author could have sounded more ignorant would have been if he wrote this:

"At first, the buzzing of an approaching high-speed motorcycle sounds like a gnat near your ear, then it suddenly becomes loud and threatening. Segui remembers a 75 year old woman possibly of an oriental backround driving without her glasses, while talking on a cellphone who heard that noise and jerked her steering wheel in the opposite direction, jumping a curb and crashing."

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah, that's

[scubasteveRR]

Yeah, that's

You forgot funny?

[OreoGaborio]

man evolved from cave drawings to hieroglyphs to the written word only to meet there linguistic destruction at the hands of the emoticon

[flyer_kaz]

Anyone care to venture a guess as to why this is?

not JUST the old slow people.. its the mix of young people going fast and older people going slow... bad ends of the spectrum to mingle..

[bryco13]

Doesn't mention cruisers, would i be safer on one of those? And it would be louder, so people would hear me coming!

yeah but then your still screwed from all the people jerkin' their wheels and driving into telephone poles when they hear you coming... then how would you feel?

[Subee13]

Typical news people.... they make everything more dramatic... ugggh

[lrrs699]

where were the race bikes in the article?

All i read was bunch of squids on street bikes running fast straight lines.

As if rules-averse Florida didn't already have some of the nation's most dangerous drivers — more pedestrians are killed there each year than in any other state — now it's dealing with the rising popularity of Mad Max–like high-speed motorcycles.

1) yes, that's because the mean driving age in florida is like 950934 years old...

2) mad max is the best analogy you can come up with? honestly, what the fuck, how old are you -- you're probably one of the miserable drivers populating the streets and turning them into deathtraps.

The rogue bikes are a particular bane in South Florida, where the weather is warm year-round and many of the roads are so flat and straightaway that they can easily be turned into a racetrack.

3) uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, isn't it warm pretty much everywhere, year-round in florida?

4) using straightaway as an adjective is fucking amateur. say "straight," you talentless hack.





the comments are pretty scathing, as well.

Wait, people actually ride like cunts on these things and it pisses people off?

[gregp]

From now on, I will refer to Sports Cars as "Race Cars".....and the Mass Pike as "The Track".

We can make jokes and laugh about this and think the writer is a cunt (which he is) but the fact is most people that don't know about bikes, especially sport bikes think that we are a menace because of the way people ride these bikes. And if you think we're helping you're probably wrong. People don't see a guy in full gear going 80 on a back road, nor do they see a guy in shorts and a t-shirt going 80 on a back road, they see a "crotch rocket" going 80 on a backroad.

[Pittenger5]

Thank god my bike cant do 80!

Ill teach them all that slow speeds doesnt necessarily mean safe!

[NeverlosT]

FIGHT IT!!!!






oh... what?

oh and I love that the XL cop in the picture is wearing an XS vest. POL......................ICE haha. oooooh gixxers.

[Awesome]

I've done that, but i didn't crash.

there it is. if you think racing stripes add HP, just wait till you dyno a set of race leathers. if anything, we probably look like we're going faster with full race gear. seems to be working for pete.

[Wishbone]

I think this is bullshit for the sheer fact they kept calling em "crotch rockets" that term alone is disrespectful and racist. I much rather the term "dick missile" is the more appropriate vernacular.

Old retired people.
