Well he wasn't wearing his gear obviously, and that's not the bike's fault it's his.

You can be right about that. If your from California like i think you are then i won't be as skeptical. As for Chicago it's not that easy.

I know too many that had that train of thought....didnt work out too well. Some acted like squids....some just didnt know what they were getting into. Some died, some got luck and just broke both arms etc. Gotta crawl before you walk.

That why I said respect it. Thats like saying someone who hops in a 2.5 million dollar car is going to go nuts and crash it instantly. The reason they dont is respect. Its 2.5 million dollars and they understand the power that brings. People lose sight of that when its a 10,000 dollar "crotch rocket".

This is trickled down, MotoGP technology. Its a race bike. Treat it as such and realize YOU arent a good rider. Respect the bike and dont respect yourself then haha

protect ya self befo ya wreck ya self
