    Default Motorcycles: If your thinking about buying one

    This first video is tight, kind of jaw dropping when he starts going through traffic.

    Now this one is a good video that was put together about the bad side of motorcycles, great video....

    if that first video makes you want a bike then you might as well just walk in front of a semi truck now and get it over with.

    True, it would be less painful. I've seen the second one before and it actually made a friend of mine decide not to buy a bike. The first one is a good rider but a little to crazy for me.

    being a gixxer rider and having one of my friends brother just buried last week from doing 150+ on his busa i do understand the 2nd video but a motorcycle is only as dangerous as the rider. having a bike is just like having a gun in the wrong hands it is potentially lethal. you have to know yourself and your limitations. 100 mph is too fast for me on my bike i have a wife and daughter and nothing is more imprtant than getting home to them both. the first video is crazy it looks cool but hell no i would never do it. he was riding a gixxer too, damn my bike has a bad name.

    your bike has a bad name because every asshat that wants a bike wants a "gixxer" (not implying you're an asshat, but that's the bike all of the idiots flock to) .
