    Re: a litle bit of fun on the superhawk this weekend

    I sit here shaking my head and wondering why.


    I watched a little of the video because I have nothing better to do and made some observations.

    1- While I respect the skill to do wheelies and stoppies it seems boring after a while. I mean you are sitting in a parking lot purposly trying to tear up a bike. You have a nice bike(or it was), why would you do that? It wasn't designed for that.

    2- Have you looked around at the others that are there. In one video there is a guy on a yellow gixxer that has the tail missing. He has no shirt on, no helmet, basically no gear at all. He actually does some decent rolling burnouts and such but what happens to his head if it hits the pavement.

    This really is none of my buisness at all. I just think that somewhere along the line you strayed away from why you bought a bike. I am going on observations here because I have no idea who you are. What I observe though is you are wearing some gear, and you bought a bike that was designed for a more comfortable ride. You bought a bike to ride not tear up.

    Again while I respect the skill set to do wheelies and stoppies and burnouts and all the other stuff. I still think there is more to motorcycling than stunting. I think you have a decent bike and before you tear it all to crap you should give the other side of the sport a chance to excite you.

    I know I get more adenaline from a knee on the ground at 90 plus MPH than a wheel in the air at 5 MPH.

    PM me sometime and maybe we can ride.
