Guess that's proof positive that a high speed encounter between a bike and a guard rail or truck is not going to end well for the rider! There are tracks out there where the sport bikes can get their fill of riding at high speed without endangering others. The problem is the adrenaline junkies who don't get enough thrill just riding the curves at normal speed. They need to jump it up to levels where they have to cross the yellow lines to make the angles. I wouldn't want to be responsible for the damage they cause. I love riding, but I want to make it home in one piece too. For that matter, as much as I love bike shows on Speed Channel, Superbikes isn't doing the sportbike craze any favors when they encourage wild riding on public streets (which happens on alot of their episodes).
