I agree that we all need watch out for each other, especially motorcycles, but the sport bike riders have got to calm their shit down. I get it, I was one for many years, rode a 600R Ninja in Germany and just a couple of years ago sold my hopped up ZX-9. So I have been involved in what we'll just call more than my fair share of motorized hooliganism, but we took our shenanigans out away from traffic where we weren't risking anyone else's safety but our own and we could play for longer periods of time before getting hassled by "the man". I also get filtering to the front of the line at a traffic light, but these assholes today are lane splitting in highway traffic doing +40 MPH faster than the flow of traffic and that's suicidal.
The attached picture below is not a setup, it isn't photo shopped or AI, it happened several years ago outside of Tulsa on 169 Highway. When I posted it on Facebook as a warning to younger riders it got me thrown in the Facebook Pokey because it's literally a dead person, which is why I spoiler tagged it here, just so you've been warned before you click on it.
The back story is that this guy was out on 169 "stunting" and smacked the back of a semi in excess of 100 MPH. The trucker didn't feel anything, all he knows is that he heard a crash and a rider-less sport bike shot passed him so he slowed down and pulled over to find what is pictured below.
Just to add some irony to the story, this young man in his 20's a couple of weeks prior had attended the funeral for one of his buddies who died doing the exact same thing. Two young men dead for momentary thrills.


Spoiler!
