Another crotchrocketeer makes the ultimate sacrifice to be terminally stupid.
As if plenty of cruiser riders dont pull the same dumb stuff. Lets not look down our noses at someone just because they ride a sport bike, Stupid is stupid. His first mistake was to run instead of stopping for the trooper, but I somehow doubt the trooper was not full bore in high speed pursuit. Doubt if there is anyone on this board that hasn't hit 100+ mph on the public highways which isnt exactly legal behaveior.
You are absolutely right. Every motorcycle I've ever owned constantly whispered in my ear (go on, speed up, have fun, let it eat, nobody's lookin') and I usually do. But I'd would have been pissed if it was my dog.
