But for all the squids out there, you should recognize the need to have respect for the "R-Boyz" who can accually ride. The difference is simple, haveing respect for the bike you are riding, or not. After you scrape a few A$$holes off inanimate objects, such as trees, and pavement, you have respect. It took me almost three years to get the balls to buy my GSX-R1000, with many reality checks along the way. And yes I can ride, if sometimes conservative, so be it.

I've been around the block a few times bro. Raced a few years, drag and roadracing. Ridden thousands and thousands of miles. Of course, there are those that ride within their limits, and guys/gals that ride very fast, but in control on the street on mega-sportbikes.
Practical experience has taught me that this is not normally the case with most motorcyclists that do own the liter-bikes, 750s etc. They really need a wakeup call when it comes to gear, learning how to ride smart and staying in control of their machine.
My rant is extended to the Harley riders as well. Take the guy I saw Wednesday night. No helmet, leather vest. Girl on back. No helmet, satin shirt, no gloves. Guy had no business being on the bike. You could tell watching him accelerate from a light that he had a hard time balancing that machine. I felt sorry for the girl on back. He tried to show off a bit by gassing it, then tried to slow down before a red light. His grasp of braking wasn't that good. He almost lost control coming to the stop. The girl was chewing him out for that too. Heh, heh. I wouldn't trust that MFer to ride me around.
