I used to race MX, ride street, and just about anything I could get my hands on. Still ride some, but not near as aggressive as I used to. Proper equipment has saved my life more then a few times. If Nothing else take heed to that last statement!
One thing you WILL end up realizing is that no matter how good of a rider or how much talent you have, when riding not everything is under your control. When riding at speeds that you are talking about, you know as well as I do that something ca happen that is out of ones control.
As far as people being envious and jealous is probably on of the most immature things you could say. Some day you will figure this out. At 25 you seem to not be getting it, I am now 31 and hell even my ass was figuring out by then.
BTW how the **** did you get stopped, most cops won't even attempt to try and catch a bike at that speed, much less ever catch it. I doubt you respect law enforcement by the "pig" comments.
Just try to do it when your not putting others in harms way. Myself now having a daughter, sure makes me think long and hard how lucky I am to not have lost and harmed more then what I have.

Very good example, it's funny today how people hear the voice of reason and choose not to listen to it. He has people telling him about how they used to do it, and have seen what it has caused and have chosen not to continue to do it, yet he still has in his mind that he is made out of teflon. I know plenty of people that go way to fast in cars and on crotch rockets, it seems that everytime one of my buddies thought he was invincible he ended up laying his bike down. Like it has been said many, many times, there are two types of riders. Riders who have laid their bike down, and their are riders who will lay their bike down. At that fast of speed it's like playing Russian Roulette, there are too many factors that riders cant control at that fast of speed.
