Roadkill waiting to happen.

People that ride on the street like that need to find a spike strip in their path.

And why the hell would you pull all the bodywork off of a 'busa if you are going to be jacking it up to those kinds of speeds? The windblast has got to be atrocious.

Bodywork probably came off after they tipped the bike at a standstill, lol.

The Busa goes so fast that they couldn't even keep the bike in frame.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I fail to see the logic here - "That guy is gonna kill someone - lets turn him and his bike into a sliding out of control 250KPH projectile!!"

I agree that doing that on public roads is bogus but I just missed the logic on that comment is all.

With the re-emergence of naked bikes, one day soon, real men will be able to bring their motors out of the false shadows of molded plastic and show their motors to the world without fear of ridicule or shame.

What he's doing sure is a risky business.

Not real smart Fanging around on the street, but I don't think we should think it's good to 'Take him out'.

Skilled or not, that's not very smart. On the dragstrip, no one gets hurt but him, but lots of havoc could occur if he went in to a car at those speeds. Not hoping the guy gets hurt, just hope he grows a brain.

I thought when I first saw that he was on a speedway or a runway that you guys were being crazy. Then I saw him passing those cars on the interstate like they were parked... Wow. Somethings do look cool but aren't worth it.

We should be able to send our insurance bills to people like this. and have them work it off by giving handjobs to rabid, angry elephants with infected scrotums.
