sell it to him. I think he's going to kill himself. I looked at his myspace page and doesn't look mature enough. I need the money but I don't want to be responsible for what happens to him.

Default If your instinct is telling you it's a bad idea I'd listen.

Money does suck...but you don't want to find out two weeks from now that he slammed in to the back of stopped car at 100mph.

We had a younger guy leave the other day on a new sportbike (which he was told he didn't need and was directed numerous times to more appropriate bikes...and he of course, refused swearing up and down he'd been riding for years and was an "expert") and as he was riding away he stalled three times and then ending up almost running in to the back of his buddies car. In fact, he barely missed the trunk and ending up falling in to the SIDE of the car (still holding the throttle open) and put a huge scrape along the ENTIRE side of the car.

Default If he doesn't buy yours, he'll buy someone elses, so sell it to him

And at least make up some horrible story about your friend or brother or somebody getting killed on one and tell him the importance of safety courses and gear. Maybe he will listen.

Default I see it almost everyday now at the ER..

or on the street. It is getting to the point that we are having at least one motorcycle fatality a week here.

It used to be the cagers fault, but lately it is dumbass squids doing stupid ****!

This past Sunday, squid gets himself killed, female passenger medflighted in, fubar'ed, no helmet. She was living when I finished my shift.

Two weekends ago, two superbikes clipped on expressway, killed both of them. Witnesses said that they were racing!

Looks like the gene pool could use a little chlorine!!

Default Wait, I thought only douchebags referred to sportbikes as "crotchrockets."

Maybe I'm thinking of guidos, not douchebags
