“..The female says she was screaming at him to stop, but he refused.”
Wonder if then was the first time that happened with her?
Warning Bells should be a-ringing!
Exactly
On a big rice burner, that’s turtle speed.
Either of my bikes will 80 in 2nd gear. 80 feels like doing 40 in your typical passenger car.
Well there shouldn’t be a 2nd date with anyone exercising such poor judgment…smh
Uou’ve got to be a special kind of stupid to run a motorcycle that fast.
?? Sniffle,,,blow nose, wipe eyes???
Watch what you’re saying thar.
There was a time…
Been there and done that many a time but minus the passenger and minus the getting catched part.
Kawasaki was king of the road back then.
The Time? It was a good time, no it was the best of times.
Drivers ‘drove’ they just drove!, didn’t have cell phones and they had respect.
Also back “when” …most families yes families …were lucky to own one car and that car carried the breadwinner to and from work, another foreign concept to the road wanderers of today. The car went to work then it sat there waiting for it’s master to return when the whistle blew.
That in itself freed up the roads streets and highways for those whose work required travel thus allowing for a going about with work endeavors unimpeded.
Also no lottery tickets were begging to get off the shelf and the beer and wine sales went with hard earned dollar earners after hours.
I for one lament a simpler time when you could ‘turn it loose’ and have some fun without a joe stupid killing you
It thus begs the question, are the stupid people really the ones aimlessly wandering the roads at all hours,,,burns my gasss.
Rant off.
Yeah, I can see the train of that dress getting caught in the rear wheel...
Stupid piece of shit.
“Kawasaki was king of the road back then”
Sounds like you’re talking about a ZX11. Have owned a few. A 180MPH bike, could hit 100 in 1st gear at the 12K rpm redline.
Never heard of one. Started with 900 z
I have a street bike about 850cc. If I am on the highway and a truck passes me, I feel it. Also, above a certain speed the bike feels less stable. It might well be different with a bigger bike, but the one I have now will probably be my last bike.
Maybe that makes me a wuss. But I think you’ll find too many snow-flakes or wusses who ride motorcycles.
It may not be you. Big hyperbikes designed to go 180-200 mph are very aerodynamic. The fork rake is designed/set for those speeds. Plus you’re riding tucked in. Doing 120 feels like doing 60 in your car. As far as truck turbulence, when behind you cut through it easier, and when passing the leading edge, you have enough power to WOT for a second or two and burst through it as quickly as possible.
Pffft! Who hasn't? Well, HOG riders I suppose...
Meant to say: But I DON’T think you’ll find too many snow-flakes or wusses who ride motorcycles. LOL.
Yeah, have never even tried a big bike. There is barely enough room in the garage for mine. Plus, I have no desire to pay as much for a bike as a car.
WOT=wide open throttle?
Yes
