A 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the "quick" way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward.
Yeah, well, they don't have a half a dozen jewWars going on with another half dozen in the works.

I ride motorcycles, am a member of the Iron Butt Association (over 1,000 miles in 24 hours) and have cruised for hours at 85-95 on the open, almost vacant, roads of the mid-west. This guy is not long for the world...it's seldom what YOU do that gets you killed...it's almost always something the other driver does that "gets you"...talking on cell phones, fiddeling with the radio, putting on make-up, reading a map...the list goes on and on....ALL these guys die eventually. you tube "ghost rider" if you want to see some 150-190 mph traffic dodging...and yep, I heard he's no longer with us. NOTHING comes close to the feeling of the open road on two wheels...I just like to keep it under 3 digits...but that's just me...I guess I really am getting old.
I went to you-tube and found this one on the ghost rider...he's legendary among the motorcycle adrenaline junkies, he routinely hits 150-180 mph in traffic...like I said, I heard he is no longer with us...don't know for sure though
In the DFW Metroplex the EMT's/cops call the sport-bike riders "organ donors".

Mrs. F has been very understanding of "my needs". In fact, if I fake a bad mood long enough...she will insist I go burn a tank of gas to get outta my "bad mood"...kinda like throwing the rabbit in the briar patch...OK honey, if you insist...snicker :?)

Yeah. I was watching that video and thinking to myself that all he needed was just one of the people driving a car or truck to lose their concentration for just a few seconds and drift over a foot or two--and then he's a dead man. It's stupid to ride that way in traffic.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton
He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. OsamaBinGoldstein
The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits. Albert Einstein

I went through Atlanta 2 years ago and all I could think was "what the crap am I doing here!!! Traffic sucks and high speed traffic can be deadly...I just assume they're all out to kill you and drive accordingly.
no doubt...that song ALWAYS puts me "in the mood" to find out where some road goes. Geez...I have a patient/understanding wife...or maybe she's thinking about the life insurance... :?)
I'm told that this video is a year old and that he got hit this year and died. Apparently there was a guy in Spain doing the same thing that also died.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
That is a nice scooter. Looks brand new. I used to have a Harley. '65 model panhead. I guess if I still had it and could afford to I would make a chopper out of it.

Yeah, it is not a bad thing to be "paranoidial"* when you ride a motorcycle.
*Ax Ike invented that word.

Farmfriend....THAT'S SWEET!!! And a HUGE powerplant to boot. I had mine rebuilt to 103 Cubes and I'm looking at 90 hp and 100 torque...it's a drug, isn't it. I just got back from the Outer Banks bike rally a couple weeks ago. Me and a friend went to Sturgis several years ago (1700 miles one way) and at night we'd crash out in our sleeping bags laying beside the bikes, just staring at the stars. Nothing like it. Do you ever do any of the rallies?

It's easy. Just click where it says "share" and then click on the link that says "embed" and copy and paste the embed link. Some of them will say something like embedding disabled by request. It took me a few tries to get the Easy Riders one I posted because of that.
