Flawed logic, only bikers speed?

But hey gotta justify the scam right, those donuts won't pay for themselves

Well apart from a couple, the bikes did slow when

was visible proving your theory.

See that's the problem.

Numbers mean jack-shit. Perception is everything.

You retarded fucks just don't get it yet.

I don't think it is 'all about the sportsbikers' though, there are several other million road users (sharers) who have a right to be safe in sue them all USA.

When they do 200km into a blind corner on the wrong side of the road, they still probably wouldnt get it.
Regardless to how they tested to speed and regardless the number of accidents and deaths,
The point of the video was to show that the common speeder and wreckless behaviour from any motor vehicle using that stretch of road was the sportsbike riders, not the cruisers or the tourers or the cars or SUV's,
In either case they set out to make sportsbike riders look like brain dead suicide jockeys, even if they had tested the speed of all the cars and bikes the same, they still showed footage of bikes over taking cars on retarded corners and at retarded speeds.

Which brings what Kitty Kat said, "Perception is everything", There are car enthusiasts here in New Zealand who own souped up cars and belong to customs clubs, they respect their cars and alot of them do the speed limit, they dont attend street racers so on so on, but because some bogan ass knuckle dragging muppet has lowered his sick as honda civic and thinks its hot shit, he has created the perception that all modified cars are owned by irresponsible pot smoking young adults.

Hows did I do?

People tend to forget that for every crazy sports bike rider there's at least another 50 cagers who txt while driving, don't look properly at intersections, cut corners and do other behaviour that is far more dangerous to innocent members of the public than a nutter on a Japanese crotch rocket. It's just easier to catch and blame the biker than the 40 year old accountant who drives a late model luxury German SUV.

So what was the point of the article? Do they think that will slow down the squids........................... or did they just tell every other squid that did'nt know about them curvy curves, where they can go scare cagers shitless and not get a ticket?

Fucking journalists.

Its on Fox news, what the hell were you expecting?
