[quote=“Bigairskier1580,post:34,topic:31427"”] Rick, to be honest with you, for every sport bike rider I see pull away normally from a stop, I will see 3 or 4 mashing the throttle and blasting away from a stop. I take note when I see those ones that pull away normally, because I am usually surprised. I understand that bikes are powerful, and there are good users, but there are a LOT of people who regularly do dumb shit on them too. [/quote] I bet you if you get out of the city and onto back country roads you won’t see this nearly as much. That’s where you’ll typically find sport riders who actually respect the bike, know the bike is made for more than going 120mph on one wheel, typically know how to ride, don’t ride like asshats and are out there because there’s less retards in cars that don’t pay any attention to bikes they SHARE the road with. I see just as much of this same crap with imports and sports cars though. It’s not the bike fault, its the one operating the controls… edit: douchebags are douchebags no matter what they’re driving/riding. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-is-why-i-hate-crotch-rockets/31427)._
