My age at the time was an invincible 26 years in the summer of 1988. It was just too easy and very entertaining. 3 lanes of open expressway and the police would sit in the median at 7:30 pm, just north of the Syracuse Airport. A group of bikes approximately equal in speed, and ability. Kawi Ninja, Suzy GSXR1100, Honda Hurricane.
but such action is simply arrogant and stupid... in your opinion. Good for you that you have only had one speeding ticket in 1969. This is relevant how?
Most traffic laws are intended to protect the public from ignorant people generate revenue. No law can protect the public from idiots. nor are they intended to.
For you I have a single word.....KILLJOY
My reference to my one speeding ticket (on a bike) is relevant simply to show that one can be a biker without being an idiot.
Many traffic are intended to generate revenue, but not most. You're too emotional about this.
A killjoy is someone who prevents another from experiencing joy. I've not prevented you from doing anything. If joy is riding 180 MPH on an open road, you need a new perspective.
If your stunt (most guys are past their perception of invincibility by 26) was not arrogant and stupid, how would you describe it, now that you are older and, presumably, wiser?
And when you die, eternity: smoking or non-smoking?
