99% of the dudes that ride crotch-rockets believe the throttle is a toggle and their engines only run at 1,200 RPM or 12,000 RPM.

Brings to mind a story I heard on the local news a few weeks ago. A guy bought his first bike, a spanking new Harley, rode it out of the dealer lot into traffic and was struck and killed by a truck.

You call them “idiots,” I call them “organ donors.”

It’s interesting to note riders of the Ultra Classic are well below the national average.

It should cost an arm and a leg to insure a crotch rocket. If it doesn’t, it means more sedate riders are subsidizing the rocketeers.

After seeing them on 95, I’m surprised any of them are still alive.
