    ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

    "So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.    "

    "Finish today what others won't, so you can achieve tomorrow what others can't."

    That dude must be a real asshole 'cause it sure looks like his friends are trying to kill him. Putting a total newb on an r6 on a somewhat busy road? That bike didn't deserve that.

    Based on their reaction I think the noob rider owned that bike. Maybe his friend rode it there for him (poorly I'm guessing) and let him have his first go at it.

    If your friend wrecks your bike he pays the deductable and you get out of making the payment all winter. Russian win?
    A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith and use up a lot of fuel.
    A good rider has balance, judgment, and good timing. So does a good lover.
