when you get on a sportbike, or any bike for that matter you are putting your life on the line, no matter how your ride. This situation is at the extreme and shows why many cops wont chase bikes. high speed car chases are bad enough, but high speed bike chases often result in the suspects death. Dont get me wrong, im not sayign its the cops fault, the guy was an idiot plain and simple. at least it probably was pretty quick and painless(after the first initial impact) After riding several years ive seen and heard it all just about. If that scene of the crash keeps just one person from buying a bike and never riding then good, thats possibly one life saved. personally, that scene doesnt deeply affect me, it doesnt make me feel bikes are dangerous and im sure some people would interperut that from it. I see it as a a reality check... and a few tickets and/or fines are not worth your life. if you get busted, just stop and accept it. and all in all, i will not alter my riding style based on that, because i dont ride stupid, i obey laws and speed limits, yes on open roads i will hit triple digits but i know my limits, 75% of riders dont. ok ive rambled on enough for now... people just need to learn to think before they act and that covers everything from bikes to cars to everyday life.
