Yeah, I'd want it to be fast, too. That's why I'd also want one of these:

I've had sucn an infatuation for motorcycles ever since I can remember.

I first started riding dirtbikes at 8 years old, and just recently last year blew out my knee on a motocross track. My parent's have no problem with me dirtbiking but don't want to hear anything about street bikes.

When I move out of my parents house, is when I plan on actually getting a bike. My parent's won't allow it while I'm living with them but I have to respect that.. my mom is deathly afraid of me getting a street bike, so it won't happen until I get my own place.

At 6 1 I may be a littke tall for the sport bikes (600cc) but sat on a CBR600rr and it felt real nice.. One day I'll pick her up.

I actually read a statistic that said that you're more likely to get hit by a car riding a bike than a motorcycle. It had many facts which lead me to believe that it was in fact true.

From what I have read bicycles are 2x more likely to get in an accident causing injury than a car and motorcycles are 4x as likely.

Well yeah, more likely to be injured but less likely to actually be in an accident. I'd also speculate that American bikes get in wrecks less than Japanese models because of the loudness and the size of the bikes. They also tend to be more for cruising than going wild on. But that's just a speculation on statistics and all rules are meant to be broken and bones aren't. I'd ride one.

A big rule is never wait behind a car at a light, unless you want to risk getting crushed like a sandwhich.

I believe it's illegal to lane-split in California but cops really don't give a shit; I'd be doing it I know that.

If your a motorcycle rider, its not a matter of if your going to get into a wreck, but when.

Well my uncle has a bike but the government took it from him. They said he was driving without an official license. Apparently they gave him a license under the name of a foreign golf player and he was known for drinking with members of bowling committees in his free time. This made the owners of the golf courses somewhat skeptical to the notion that he may remain a tennis player & not find the temptation to join the bowlers overbearing, so hard to refuse that he would quit his formerly claimed favorite sport to go off with bowlers.

You mention drivers, but sometimes I see a driver & what I'm seeing is someone not driving but doing some similar action associated with driving but not really driving. You know what I mean as if its on an automatic steer? You don't even know if the person driving in front of you is driving or maybe his cousin is. You suspect that he might be pretending to drive but really wishing to give otheres the impression of driving whilst never truly driving driving.

I used to rent cars for a week and then dispose of the automobile to find new wheels. I was always in a need for speed, always had to have the latest set of wheels. I would let them borrow my car for hours and not expect them to return it for days, and it was fine by me because a cousin in Cuba woudl send a car down regardless. He always had a spare car to distribute to my family circle, for we keep a close bond to each other & all our supported through us all contributing our funds to discover the "ideal" motor. We were never satisfied with a car that couldn't drive 500 miles and back without having to stop. We wanted to go all the way there & back quickly.

In fall 2008 an owner of a car company officially declared me a certified driver with years of experience. They believed that I fulfilled all of their expectations of how someone should maneuver when on the road. People would come up to me & give me a thumbs up because of how precious my driving skills were. They would say something along the lines of "I really appreciate you having an aptitude for driving carefully, you appear to proceed with the utmost caution when behind the wheel, as if you are protecting the streets by you driving. For the more you drive the less risk of someone crashing. They also would mention how other people needed to be somewhere now and would speed just to get there in time. Which was diff from me, who would let other people get to a location before me. I was in no rush to get to the destination I chose as my most desired location to reside at. I've never received a speeding ticket & I've always drive at the recommended speed limit, never daring to press the wheel down a little more so I can get that little extra amount of speed to get whereever I need to go quicker.




god damn it.
