It seems this canyon is frequently used for street racers. Evident by the number of accidents and 2 riders being airlifted out of the area. I wonder how many accidents happen along those roads? Maybe they should impose a lower speed limit or increase patrols. This would also be a perfect place for speed cameras.

STFU! :evil:

seriously though... it's not even about racing, i believe in 98% of it is people pushing their limits trying to improve.

but yeah... pushing your limits is better done at the race track.

The front, head, tank, instrument cluster, exhaust, and engine area look exactly like mine...the tail is a little different though.

yeah... it does look like the blast.

ninja 250s are ok over there, which has about the same power as the blast. so it's not so odd to see a blast at the tracks.

i'd be surprised if there was a power cruiser though.
