Default Ridiculous news paper article about "crotch rockets"

This is a great example of how little the public knows about the bikes we love. It speaks for it's self, let me know way you think:http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories...t_466558.shtml[/align]

If I saw anything in there I disagree with, it's that they say a sportbike costs up to $5k. WTF are these guys smoking?

LOL yea I saw that they cost anywhere from $1200 to $5000...that cracks me up, and then they say harleys are $40000...isnt the most expensive harley stock from the dealer about $30k and thats a screming eagle edition.....I wish I could find a sportbike for $1200....

and this comment is the funniest comment

Don Rico says
"These "Crotch Rocket Riders" are giving other cyclist a bad name. You can see the difference, in age of the riders, by what they ride. Most older, mature adults, ride touring bike. The younger generation seems to prefer the Crotch Rockets, due to them being glorified in the movies. As always, most younger riders care nothing about saftey of themselves or others."

wow the mature drivers are the ones not wearing any gear, dont have a helmet on, and drive drunk half the time...way to promote safety!
