Gotta agree with redrocket more than todd in this case...(srry) "right and wrong" have NOTHING to do with "legal and illegal" there are things that are wrong, that are perfectly legal, and there are things that hurt nobody, and are illegal. That being said, I see nothing wrong with speeding on a sport bike, illegal or not, ? I've already posted my momentum table, and on a 500 lb sport bike, you're not doing any more damage to anyone at triple digits than a ford focus at 35, and you get into bigger vehicles, f150, explorer, hummer, forget about it. The only person you're "endangering" is yourself. Was the OP stupid for attempting to run? yes, not to mention he did a piss poor job of it, considering the circumstances. There is a time and a place for hitting the throttle, pushing your limits, and seeing what you can do. For many of you it's a track, but for some, that's not an option. They make do with what they got.
