I think its all basicly been said, saying that I was waiting for a car or something to cut you off, its only mater of time before it happens, hopefully you will be ok, you need to give your self a little more room for other peoples mistakes fer sure, if your gonna run through traphic like that.
what your not paying in fines, what are you paying in lawyer fees.

This place is either full of limp-wristed riders or dirty hypocrites.
I have ridden like that before, knowing it was rather dangerous but also a hell of a lot of fun.
Everyone has their limits, but to tell someone else that they are being stupid when undoubtedly you yourself have at some point ridden outside the law, is somewhat hypocritical.
Any chance of getting a photo of the mounting set up for the camera?

The 1st 6 tickets were all knocked down to equipment failures thanks to my good lawyer and I'm waiting to go to court for the 110mph one which I was told would be knocked down to around 70mph. As of right now, I don't have a single point on my license. Thank god! I kinda know where the cops hang out and keep it slow around those areas, but if I know an area where a cop cannot be, it's all fun for me. I think a 1/4 mile track is just boring and my cruiser is not a bike to put on an oval track so what choices do I have for some fun? And on top of things, I usually ride with a cop or two in my group and they ride even more nuttier than I do.
110 in a 55....
'....but if I know an area where a cop cannot be, it's all fun for me'
This isn't about you having fun as an individual but endangering everyone on the road around you....
Not only that....you're thumbing your nose at the law using lawyers to avoid the penalty of breaking it.
Sorry for the honesty and I'm really glad nothing bad (physically) has happened to you.

I agree with mintbread. Is this site full of 60 year old men that stay at 55mph and never go more? Have none of you ever just went alittle crazy for the fun of it? I guess I should go out and take a video of me riding in the street stopping for stop signs and red lights. Maybe you will enjoy that video more that the one I posted?

I'm only 40,
I understand your point, last year at bike week I met up with a few guys from Missouri also on Hayabusas, we rode out to daytona and they would not break the speed limit. We were being passed by pickup trucks pulling trailers full of junk. Here in Florida the traffic flow on most highways is at least 10 over the speed limit. I like to ride away from the traffic, either ahead of it or behind it, preferable far away from it.
That being said, it was the splitting cars and abrupt lane changes that gave me my opinion about your video. Perhaps it's the type of bike you're riding that gives the perception that you are about to lose control. I've not ridden a warrior.
Nice bike though.

Sounds like a hawt idea for a video. cept you should pull wheelies leaving the stops.

It's funny that you have a busa cause in the Warrior website a few guys commented on my video said to me that the way I ride I should be on a busa! LOL!

I've ridden crazy a couple times (sometimes you just have to!), but those lane splits near the end I don't respect no matter what the reasoning.
However...
The video clip?
AWESOME!
Even if you were putting around town it would be cool! I love seeing from the view of the bike.

It's people like you, who give people like me a bad name.
