i feel sorry for your wife dude, that would be some traumatic shit to see, even if you didn't know the person... hope she learned to deal with it ok...

jagged... those bikes were made for nothing but speed.... it actually frightens me... nearly eveyrone who buys one sees two wheels and a SHITLOAD of speed, and never thinsk twice about the consequences... i had a friend who had a cousin, got a ninja (kawasaki) and was flooring it on the freeway (top speed for the bike [stock]) hit a rock, and well.. i'm sure you can imagine what happened next.... friend had one less cousin to say the least.... you know when those bikes get up to top speed... there's like about 1/8-1/4 of an inch of tire actually touching the ground? not too hard to throw those bikes off...

i feel bad for them, because even tho they're doing what they (atleast should know) is dangerous, general mis-conception about the bikes leaves everyone blinded.... not to mention if they're friends of others who have their own, always trying to top one another's tricks and shit... eventually it leads to injury, and death...

skink you're talking about true riders.. not just anyoen sitting on a harley... i've seen people popping wheelies and doing stupid shit on a harley as well... i know what you're saying but the statment just made it sound like anyone who sits on one has some respect for the beast they have straddled between their legs... which unfortunately... is anything but true.
