This guy is crazy, probably won't live much longer. 😐

While in St. Thomas, USVI in December, I was reading on the balcony of our stateroom while at port and heard a "superbike" accelerate to probably red line then a loud BANG. He hit the side of a car and was killed instantly. I’m glad I didn’t see it, but I will never forget that sound.

Have a great week!

OMG, that was nuts.

I used to see a few guys split the lanes on the Cali Freeway during rush hour but nothing like that. It almost makes you nauseas just watching it. I couldn't turn away though because I kept watching to see if there would be a "close call" or something.

The sound of crotch rockets on campus is

an everyday thing. I tell my students that's the sound of testosterone.

I think it's the sound of "Stupid is as stupid does".

Try to stay out of the street when these kinds of drivers are going by, if you can;-)

Nopie, Nopie. I have brains in my head and I prefer to keep them in my head instead of splattered on the road. I prefer to 'style' around instead of blaze around.

Eric, My heart was pumping hard toward the end. I watched it twice, (all the kids had to see it!) After thinking about it, the camera being low, intensified it a little, but still.... other people can suddenly do stuff... and if one did, it would be plaster time!

Dan,

Don't know why that dude even bothers to wear a helmet, obviously there is nothing worth protecting 😉

Have a great weekend!
