So you admit people with loud pipes are "butt-nuggets"? Why would the other person have to leave if you pull up on a loud bike?

I absolutely agree.

Wow E. Getting rid of your hemorrhoids before you die is an awfully lofty goal.

I miss my Akita. Beautiful dogs. Can't wait to get another.

Oh and I hate small dogs.

Meh I had a nice long response typed out but there's no point. Yeah large dogs are more prone to cause more damage. Ummm that's pretty much a friggin no brainer. Great so now you have large aggressive dog. Oh and your little article doesn't give all the statistics and agrees with me. It even admits that breeds (like Pits and Rots) are possibly more aggressive due to genetics. Their no brainer spin fact is that when as those breeds became more popular there were more attacks by those breeds. They leave out the comparison between the popularity of other breeds of about the same size at the time. Like as of 2007 Pits and Rots aren't even in the top 10 of popularity and still contribute to considerably more number of attacks and dog bites than more popular breeds. And no not every dog more popular them them is a small breed. Hell I read somewhere that 1/3 of ALL dog attack fatalities are caused by Pit Bulls and they only make up 2% of the dog population. Pits and Rots combined account for 50% of all bog bite fatalities. You do the math. Oh yeah there's 150 recognized breeds by the AKC and a lot more muts.

I don't base my views on "stories" I base mine on stats and reports collected. If I based mine purely on stories I wouldn't tell my 7 year old to be careful when rough housing with our Lab who is much larger. I will say though that Pits are more dog aggressive than people aggressive. I'm not stating at all that Pits are big, mean, aggressive, dangerous and should be gotten rid of dogs. I get pissy when people treat them as if they can do no harm and are completely non aggressive to humans. Hell any good breeder will tell you not to breed any Pit that shows any human aggression what so ever. Even a slightly aggressive Pit is dangerous, they are bred to fight. The Akita is still more badass though

Actually the stats point to this. It's not a personal observation. Those 3 breeds I listed and their mixes account for something like 76% of all dog attacks/bites in the US. If what you said where true Labs would be the number one dog for bites and attacks since there are so many more of them than any other breed. I have a Lab and I wouldn't come into my house unannounced especially if you are male. Which sucks because that means I'm the one who has to take time off work everytime a maintenance guy or something has to come by. ...but... My friend had a Rot that would roll over and hope someone who broke in would rub it's belly before they stole everything and left. We do know it let the house get broken into once, not 100% sure on the belly rub though. See isn't anecdotal evidence fun?

I've had to do this on very rare occasion, but I can imagine it gets abused.

Uh if you're wearing all Icon gear and riding an Gixxer 1k, you're a squid no matter how you ride.

This thread just putters. You can't argue with facts. Pits are naturally more aggressive than other breeds period. No one has ever said just Pits are aggressive. However there are three breeds that are much more aggressive than the others: Pits, Rots and Presa Canarios. You can raise a Pit and a Lab together the exact same way from the day they are born and the Pit will still be more likely to attack the other dog or a person than the Lab will. It's bred into them. Anyone that ignores that fact is an idiot and shouldn't own any pets, because it's a sure sign they aren't responsible enough.

Exactly. Once I saw the passengers start climbing back and forth on the bike it went from this sucks to whoa.

Every time I see one of these videos I want to do it. Don't want to be the driver necessarily either.

Sounds like you had a bit of fun just be safe. Your Ninja 250 is gonna max at about 105 stock. I've heard of those not even being able to hit 90 on theirs. Once you get toward the very top acceleration is going to be very slow to the limiter after a certain point if it even makes it at all. There's any number of things that can affect your top end.

No. Any rider with overly loud pipes no matter what they ride is a douche, including sportbike riders. There's a difference between a finely tuned pipe and an unnecessarily loud pipe.

You guys crack me up.

I don't want to work and there's nothing else to do.

I wear them occasionally, but keep the volume down a bit.

ouch!

All dog breeds have some within the breed that are slightly more aggressive than others, that's natural and found probably in all species human included. There are some specific breeds of dogs though that where/are bred specifically with those traits. A Pit is naturally more aggressive than a Lab for example. Two things in your argument don't fit though. First, there aren't breeds of humans. Neither race nor ethnicity fit within the same concept of separate breeds. Second, I don't think anything having to do with being a "pushover" came to mind.

to the board.

I know I've said this already, but Pits are a more naturally aggressive breed along with Rots. It isn't all boiled done to the owner and how they are raised. It's of course no reason to start killing animals of course. If you own a more aggressive or more protective breed your odds of having something happen goes up and sometimes it goes up significantly. There's a reason only 3 breeds and there mixes out of over 150 make up almost 80% of bites and attacks.

Pit bulls are defined as American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, or any mix of those breeds http://www.akc.org/breeds/american_staffordshire_terrier/index.cfm

Who the hell reads WorldNetDaily? It's a bullshit site. Those are the same morons that ran the 5 part commentary called something like 'Soy is making our kids gay'. Idiots. Meeting with the leader of another country/state is a part of diplomacy even if you do think they are big and scary. If anything Bush should have been tried for treason and jailed after meeting and exchanging some man love with the Saudi King. You remember where the 9/11 terrorists where from right?
