How many of you race on the streets going slow?
Whether racing or driving fast both KILL, as well as negligent drivers but its the speed that increases the odds of an accident and bodily injury.
The streets are not made for hi speeds. To many variables and uncontrolled situations for any incresae in speeds.
Yes when your number is up, as someone put it, you will die. But that's Gods call not ours, and we do increase the odds of dying in a car wreck everytime we speed.
I have raced cars since I was 16 years old (57 now) and I still don't have the skills to Street Race Safely but I do ok on the track.
If only for the love of your family, TAKE IT TO THE TRACK! Its even more fun there since all your buddies and theirs will be witness to the butt wipping you give'em.
Yeah I still smoke a tire or two on the street for the special effects only. Yes I have lost the will power once or twice and floored it on the street, we all do but we are all WRONG.
"Off the pulpit now" I just hate reading about some of you guys loosing your lives, limbs, etc because of the Lightning. Be bigger than that, please.

He was 15 years old and in the 9th grade. It was dusk or a touch later when he happened to be on a 2 lane road instead of the trails....the seat was still stuck in the grille of the truck much like those pics of the helmet.

I feel really bad about hearing stories like this and my prayers go out to your cousins family. I do however wonder what a 15 year old is doing driving a 3wheeler illegally on a 2 lane road, at night, on the wrong side of the road?

the bike in the photo was determined to be suicide. nice of him to take a passenger with.
for those who are afraid to get a bike because of that. bikes aren't all that bad. very maneuverable and if ridden properly you stand just as much chance of dying in your truck as on a bike.
