Man that sucks. I know Id probably be doing 360s after a day of ownership. Plus cars are fmore of my thing anyways. I just thought of the individuality and economics of haveing a bike.

And I know thats its true that all the things that I do will come back to me in my sweet time.

I want a bike but damn there is a lot of carnage to go with it.

No kidding Ive been lucky enough to have full recoveries from my accidents! The problem is that people cant see you. On top of that people are just plain stupid any way. Heres a story for you....I wrecked in front of Tampa General Hospital by the parking garage and nobody even asked if I was okay. Some ass munch had dumped oil in the road and I lost control.... It sucked!

ive ridden quite a bit and have gone down the 1320 on more than one occasion on a zx-6...
with the right rider you can hit 10s .. trust me. ive seen it ive done it. i know its fast by a cars standards.. but that is actually the norm for bikes. my buddy rides in top-eliminator class and he cuts a 7.48@180mph... no turbo.. his zx-9 gets a 9.70@144... STOCK.. just lowered. Lowering does WONDERS for straight away handling.. i wont own a bike w/o lowering it after riding his..
and trans am.. dont get one.. tampa is a bad town to own one.
The Hillsborough county statistical life span of a male 18-25 on a motorcycle is 6 month... not estimated life sapn.. STATISTICAL... that means some last for years while others only days... theyre a blast trust me and the power goes straight to your head.. but ive been relaity checked before.. and its not fun.. you realize REAL quick how vulnerable you are..
ill buy another one though.. haha.. Hey ACME.. wanna sell the CBR?

I think im gonna get a bike for commuting to campus. Better parking less wear on my car good mileage. Of course death comes into play. Is there a minimun number of times you have to lay it down before you wise up?

First... be safe.
Traveling at 135mph on an older CBR600 sounds scary.
However, with proper fitting gear and body position, traveling at 200mph(+) on a Busa is solid as a rock.
In fact, above 140mph or so it really comes alive.
As you accellerate above 160mph, you begin to tests your neck muscles.
Traveling at 175mph is easily accomplished on the newer, large CC bikes.
