Why do all the street bike riders think they ride some much better than cruisers?
Do you practice situational awareness in a cage? I point out the douche moves to my son all the time when we are in the cage, then again after I've avoided it on the bike if he's on the back. |

Why do crotch rocket riders act like they own the road & drive like aholes. Yes, most crotch rocket rides I encounter on the roads ride like aholes trying to kill everyone.
Why do biker gangs traveling together feel they have the right to take 5-10 of said bikes & cut cars off endangering everyone's lives? |

for every biker riding like a dumbass there's 2 cars driving like dumbasses. This isn't something unique to bikers. That's your answer and I want to know where you live that over 50% of the sports bikes on the road are riding like aholes. Refer to my above resentment comment or this one, because I call bs on the reality of that. |

Good IoM clip. I wish Joey D was still out there. He was flawless at showing them how it was done.

Question: I'm a big dude, 6'2" 280lbs and have been considering getting a bike. Would my height or weight be an issue? I assume it would be more top heavy, that right?

LOL ^
Depends on your inseam...I'd say go to a moto dealer and sit on em and try em out. I think seat height on my Ninja 650R is 30". You can always have them lowered as well but it can change the way the bike handles a bit. |

Triumph Daytona 675 or Ducati 848 EVO. I think those are the two tallest bikes on the market right now in the supersport class. You better have a 33 or 34" inseam. Plus, the power in those two will carry your weight.
