how do these stunt riders afford to destroy their bikes like they do. some dont seem to care at all while others you can see they are just heart broken. do they buy up salvage title bikes and fix them up, or just spend a fortune on their hobby.
to me i cant see using an $8-10k+ bike with out any worry of dropping it like they do.

I totally agree...I think they are just too ignorant to realize that they are being total idiots! Also, I DONT think most of them can afford it...they just don't care to think ahead about the possible consequences.

id really love to be around someone when they destroyd their brand new r1 while trying to wheelie or something and ask 'so you finaced the bike eh, you only had it 2 months? so with all the finance charges your in debt 16k$ now? pretty cool trick.'

I really feel sorry for the guys in the race. They were doing what they love to do. The other three guys in the other videos got what they were looking for; Trouble!
Just today on my way home from work, while in my car, I had a bike pass me up doing about 90 in a 45. At least double the speed limit and changing lanes to pass us up. Guys like that are just looking to get removed from the gene pool. I have no sympathy for them when they crash and burn!
Cycling is dangerous enough being a defensive rider, without the need to be aggessive rider. Agressive riders should do it in a race track and not the streets.
