Got to list this one first; Stuntas...These squid get the bad press and make us all look bad.

second; Loud pipes. Do they save lives or just piss off the public?

third; Untrained riders. They crash. They die. Their legacy is "Bikes Kill!"

fourth; Balkanization of the sport. Hating each other makes an easy target for Social Facists.

fifth; Posers...you know the Dentist with the fake tattoo shirt...can't ride...falls over at stop signs.
