Very interesting.

I did think it was funny how it showed all the "law abiding citizens" to be dudes on Harleys hah..I also found it amusing that sportbikers "ruin the mountains."

Don't get me wrong I think it's pretty wreckless and plain out stupid to go 100+ mph with that many people around but I wouldn't blame the problem on sportbikes completely...just the idiots riding them.

Off topic: Engine No 9 is a great song

yeah. there's parts of the video that annoy me and even while they do point out that a small portion of the group is doing this, the way it's reported still comes across that all sportbikers are evil speeders with a death wish. Oh and the assumptions on speed were hilarious. Oh he was going 100mph. Wtf you got radar vision or something?


sup gurl - you never heard it before?

They don't have the manpower, the video says, so keeping riding it! 153 is a bit excessive.

the 153 numbers seems a bit off personally... just my personal opinion. Specially if the guys were in a group together

after second glance you're right. even found the vid in the first link and the first vid after I typed 'turbo hayabusa video' into google: http://www.uponone.com/sortvideos-speed-viewed.php (top video)

I should've picked up on it right away. I thought it was a turbo then talked myself out of it even though I've seen that video before. It's a very well known video... I feel like writing a letter of disgust to them about it
